Recently, I attended a book signing and discussion with Mae Marvel, the authors of Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous. Mae Marvel is a writing team comprised of Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare, a married couple. I was familiar with Knox’s work, but not Mare’s. Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is a lesbian contemporary romance about two friends from high school who reunite later in life. Katie Price was a theater kid … Continue reading An Event with Mae Marvel and Cats

HaBO: A Vampire Couple is Her Emotional Anchor

This HaBO is from G, who wants to find this paranormal romance: Hi! Not sure if you’re the right people to ask (I found you through the “what was that book called” tag on reddit), but I’m getting kinda desperate and can’t seem to remember anything apart from scarce details. It‘s been ages since I’ve read this book, but I think it was a not-yet-complete series cause I cannot for the life of me remember … Continue reading HaBO: A Vampire Couple is Her Emotional Anchor

Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S21 Ep 5: What Was Even the Point

Elyse Watches The Bachelorette with Kraken Rum and Coke with a big rose at the bottom

So last week’s Bachelorette  left us on a cliffhanger. Jenn’s ex boyfriend of three years ago, Matt, showed up in New Zealand because he can’t handle the idea of her marrying someone else. He told her he was in love with her, which confuses her because he’s never told her that before. For the record, Picasso loves you. All of you. Every single one. Jenn decides if he really feels that way, he can join the … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S21 Ep 5: What Was Even the Point

Cover Snark: A Whole Host of Textures

Fierce by Hattie Jacks. A headless shirtless man looks like he's made of shiny rubber, but his shoulders are starting to become scaly and giant hawk wings are sprouting from his back,

Welcome back to Cover Snark! Maya: He’s got falcon wings and I think scales? Texturally I do not understand what is happening on his body, but then also apparently not enough because it looks like his waist was also photoshopped Sneezy: Maaaaybe that’s like a cobra hood? Something about how plastic the body looks is giving me weird sensory icks. Amanda: Yeah there is something rubbery happening. Sarah: Feathers, rubber, AND Lycra are a bit … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Whole Host of Textures

Whatcha Reading? August 2024, 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 and welcome to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’ve been kicking of August: Lara: I’m finally reading new-to-me books again! I read the truly bonkers Dark Restraint by Katee Robert and now I’m wading through A Werewolf’s Guide to Seducing a Vampire. I thought this one would have more bite to it than the others in the series, but we’ve lapsed into tweeness, alas. It had such promise as the vampire succubus is an … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2024, Part One
