The Rec League: Sarah, Plain & Tall

The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old book

This request comes from Grace. Thanks, Grace! I have a weirdly specific rec request. I guess you could just call it mail order brides, but more specifically: Sarah Plain & Tall vibes? I’ve been re-watching the Sarah Plain & Tall movies with my grandma lately. I’ve loved the book & movies all my life and they were VERY formative in becoming a romance addict, but being from the kids’ POV, we only see an outside … Continue reading The Rec League: Sarah, Plain & Tall

Links: Fish, Coraline, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Welcome back to Links! I can slowly start to feel the allergies. I’ve been good about taking Flonase recently, so I haven’t had my usual symptoms of sneezing and sinus pressure. I have had some severely dry eyes, which are new for me. I did buy some eyedrops; does anyone have a good hack to getting the drops in on the first try?

Books on Sale: The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow & More

RECOMMENDED: The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B+:

HaBO: Billionaire Surfer

This HaBO is from Colleen, who is hoping to find this romance: Ack! I have been searching for this book and am beginning to think I made it up. Okay, so the heroine works for a financial risk/management company and has traveled to South Africa (I think) with her boss to pitch to the hero. They want him to use their company. He is a risk-taking surfer, so the boss learns surfing terms and it … Continue reading HaBO: Billionaire Surfer
