Cover Snark: A Possible Bathroom Emergency

One is Never Enough by Kali Noir. A very red cover. There's just a headless and shirtless man, but he's positioned upside down, as if he's lying on his back and lifting his hips up at an angle. He appears to be struggling to pull his pants off.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Jen: Maybe it’s me but this head does not look natural on this body. Sarah: Definitely not the head that body came with. Also, is that the dude from Downton Abbey? Elyse: Looks like Sebastian Stan to me. Maya: It looks like BBL Spaceman had one too many surgeries. … I think we need some input from all of you!     Sneezy: Why is his left hand in … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Possible Bathroom Emergency

Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 78

Hello hello! We’re in the holiday season and as a bookseller, my brain always goes to titles that would make for a great gift. I do miss playing matchmaker in a more face to face setting, but the holiday season in retail is also VERY STRESSFUL. I have two fun non-fiction titles (that have gift book potential), plus a collection of essays and a romantasy release that I think missed its window. What great recommendations … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 78

Whatcha Reading? November 2024, Part Two

The woman in yellow coat jeans and boots sitting under the maple tree with a red book and cup of coffee or tea in fall city park on a warm day. Autumn golden leaves. Reading concept. Close up.

Here’s how we’re wrapping up our reading this November: Elyse: I’m reading Christmas Eve Love Story by Ginny Baird. It’s a holiday romance where the heroine keeps reliving Christmas Eve over again ala Groundhog’s Day. She also has a senior cat she’s fostering so I love her character Sarah: I am re-reading Call of Crows, and I’m very happy about it. I also started with my favorite, book 2. Yes I am a monster. Shana: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2024, Part Two

Links: A GoFundMe, an Advent Calendar, & More

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

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We are rushing right up to Thanksgiving. I think my partner and I are going to do an “all sides” Thanksgiving again. It was so much fun last year eating mashed potatoes and stuffing and green beans. My partner was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in January, so if you have any good gluten-free Thanksgiving dishes, please let me know! … Laura sent a couple related links in! Laura: A romance … Continue reading Links: A GoFundMe, an Advent Calendar, & More

HaBO: Time Travel Romance with Island Setting

This HaBO comes from J., who is trying to find this book: It was a romance that took place over centuries as at least one of the main characters was a time traveler. One of the last scenes took place on an island like Malaysia where the two lovers were swept away in the tsunami (which was supposed to be the actual tsunami of 2004, but the book was obviously fiction). Please help! It was … Continue reading HaBO: Time Travel Romance with Island Setting
