Thanks to Jen B. for submitting this interesting take on rereading: This is very random, but I thought of a topic for the SBTB editors to bat around: I know you’ve done comfort reads and favorite re-reads, but does anyone have a book that you read at such a perfect time in your life that you won’t re-read it, because it will never be as good? I had just moved to a new state, the … Continue reading Which Books Gave You the Perfect One-Off Reading Experience?
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is $1.99! This came out last summer and I’ve heard it’s lovely, but may fall into the category of “no plot, just vibes.” Have you read this one?
Chris M. Hill, who is a member of the podcast Patreon, designed this banner because the Pride rally and the No Kings rally are at the same day: “I made myself a new sign as a treat.” When we saw it, we collectively lost our shit, and asked if we could spread the word about it. LOOK AT THIS. There is a free printable PDF or PNG at their KoFi, along with a pre-order for stickers … Continue reading No Kings, Yas Queens

CW: Religious trauma, internalized homophobia I don’t typically read romantasy. I haven’t jumped on any of the big titles, even though friends and family, including my husband, have read at least one. And yet, I had to read this one, because the author wrote my favourite book. I don’t make the rules in my brain, I just have to abide by them. I didn’t really know much going into this book except that there’s a … Continue reading The Woman From the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair
RECOMMENDED: The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles is $1.99 and a KDD! Carrie gave this one a B+:
The strengths of this book are in the balancing of conflict with humor and optimism, the rich characterizations, and the portrayal of life on the marsh, as well as a romance between two opposites. It’s entertaining, exciting, and immersive. While I wanted a little more from the ending, I enjoyed this book overall!
One of Chelsea Devantez’s listeners connected her to my show after my interview with Joanna Shupe. Meanwhile I’d been working up the nerve to ask her onto my show, and then the universe intervened through this lovely person. Thank you! I recapped Danielle Steel’s dog memoir on her show, and now, she’s in the guest chair on mine. We talk about her memoir, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going to Anyway), which … Continue reading 670. It’s Trash-ception with Chelsea Devantez of Glamourous Trash
