What happens when you write the books you want to read but are having a hard time finding? Many good things. Kimberly Lemming loves fantasy, and started writing her own catnip, which led to the joy that is the Mead Mishaps series. We answer ALL the tough questions, like how many mead mishaps have we personally experienced? How does one make the bananas spin? And why is Galavant the greatest production ever made?

TW: OMG you guys, SO MANY. That Time I Got Drunk And Saved a Demon is a mood, people. This book is impossible for me to grade – either you are down for it or you aren’t. But personally, I rather enjoyed this bonkers story about a woman whose family owns and operates a cinnamon farm, the demon she rescues, and the false goddess they team up to take down. You should be able to … Continue reading That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming →

It’s time in the northern hemisphere! You know, when the days get shorter, the temperature at night drops to a level that annihilates all the bugs that want to bite me, and…. The SEASONAL FLAVORS have ARRIVED! Let’s start with the one that’s in my house: That’s right, PUMPKIN. SPICE. OREOS. Please note: any and all disparagement of pumpkin spice is not necessary. Please also note: I did NOT get to try one of these, … Continue reading Seasonal Oreos and Books →
August is almost over, which means we get to wrap up our second Whatcha Reading for the month! Lara: For me, reading a historical romance is like pushing the reset button. So I’m in the early chapters of Sophie Irwin’s A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting and it’s doing the job. I just finished Only Bad Options by Jennifer Estep (which I loved) and gearing up for The Heretic Royal by G.A. Aiken. I’m dangerously … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2022, Part Two →
