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

Happy Wednesday! Y’all, I am tired. This week has been so weird and we’re only halfway through it. Anyone else feeling off-kilter? At the very least, it’s Cadbury Creme Egg season. My favorite time of the year. However, I’ve heard that the Cadbury chocolates, in general, are of better quality across the bond. Maybe one day I’ll get to taste test! … This link was sent in by EC Spurlock: This is a virtual tour … Continue reading Links: Birds, Vintage Romance, & More

HaBO: Steamy Steam Room Action

This HaBO comes from Andrea, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a book from Kindle, but I can’t remember the cover, title, or any of the character names. There’s this one scene that I remember very vividly, which is what sparked my interest in finding this book because I remember it being so hot. I can’t remember if this book was part of a series or not. But basically the heroine and … Continue reading HaBO: Steamy Steam Room Action

Book Review

Miss Wick and the Duke Dilemma by Violet Marsh

Miss Wick and the Duke Dilemma

This book is ludicrous and not in a fun way. Before I let my rant get away with me, the blurb: Eoin Aucourte, the newly minted Duke of Foxglen, always played by his grandfather’s rules. But now that the old man is dead, Eoin’s first decision is to track down his long-lost mother. The only problem? He’ll have to visit the infamous Black Sheep Coffeehouse to begin his search. Rumor has it that the owner, … Continue reading Miss Wick and the Duke Dilemma by Violet Marsh

Whatcha Reading? March 2026, Part One

Keukenhof flower garden, also known as the Garden of Europe. One of the world's largest flower gardens. Lisse, the Netherlands.

Happy Saturday! We’re halfway through March already. Here’s what we’re reading: Lara:  I’m reading The Name Game by Beth O’Leary. It’s a mixture of diary entries, emails and flashbacks. It’s still early days, but it’s giving me the kind of feeling that Bridget Jones’ Diary did a million years ago. Will report back! Sarah: I’m reading Royal Gambit by Daniel O’Malley because Adam recommended it to me after he finished it. I’ve recommended dozens of … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2026, Part One
