Hi, everyone! Welcome back! This was not intentional, but three of the four books are sci-fi and/or have something to do with the end of the world. I tend to compile the selections in the order I’ve seen them or given them, making my way through an updated list. And clearly, my mind keeps turning into post-apocalyptic themes. Apropos of nothing, I’m sure! Have you received any good book recommendations lately? Let us know in … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 87→
Hello, everyone! We have another assortment of recommendations. Half of them are recommendations from other people that have been given to me or other members of SBTB. There’s also a poetry collection and a picture book. Have you received any great book recs lately? Let us know in the comments.
Welcome back! We are inching ever close to 100. Should we throw a party? I have a couple non-fiction titles and two fiction. Lots of variety: Little Women, nature, history, and some Omegaverse to cap it all off. Have you received any good recs lately? Let us know!

Welcome back, everyone! I want to give everyone a little bit of a warning for this one. It’s non-fiction focused (yet again) and half of these recs tap into some very present issues. If you’re not in the right space for these reading suggestions right now, I totally get it. I will probably continue to feature titles that deal with current events because the information perspectives we can get from reading are invaluable. Knowledge is … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 83→
Hello, everyone! I am back on my non-fiction bullshit today. Three out of the four books today are non-fiction. Sorry not sorry! Have you received any great book recs? Let us know in the comments!
Hello everyone! It’s 2025 and we’re still doing this thing! For a change, I have more fiction than non-fiction. I also have – gasp – some poetry, which I don’t dip into very often. Poetry either feels too corny to me or it makes me feel dumb if there seem to be metaphors I’m not grasping. Usually I avoid it altogether, but every one in awhile, I find something that works for me. Get any good recommendations … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 81→
Welcome back, everyone! We have reached eighty editions of Get Rec’d! Can you believe it? This is the last one before the new year and leans more toward non-fiction. I feel like this is the place where I get to pass along all the non-romance recommendations I keep in my back pocket. Did you get any good recommendations lately? Do you have a favorite recommendation of the year?
Hello, everyone! It feels too long since our last Get Rec’d! We have a couple non-fiction titles, some Gothic horror, and an adorable middle grade novel. Tell us about any great book recommendations you’ve received lately, or share one of your own in the comments!
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→
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Half of today’s books were recommend to me by colleagues and friends, and I wanted to pass them along to you. I think that’s what I love so much about having a personal bookish community, especially one where everyone has their niches. What book recommendations have you received recently? Do you also have your own wonderful bookish circles in your personal life?
