I mentioned in the recent Whatcha Reading post that I think it was flchen1 (Hi! Thank you!!) who posted about Blood of a Gladiator in the comments a week or so ago, but I inhaled this book. I wrote in the post: “Ashley Gardner aka Jennifer Ashley writes great mysteries with very slow connections and growing emotional depth between the characters, and this book was excellent. It got me through some insomnia (perimenopause can fuck … Continue reading Blood of a Gladiator by Ashley Gardner →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are we all doing? It is a week of ups and downs for me. My partner and I bought a house – yipee! It happened much quicker than we intended, but of course that comes with all the extra inspections, repairs, closing, etc. It is a lot and I’m incredibly thankful my partner is someone who doesn’t mind getting on the horn to talk to everyone while I swaddle … Continue reading Links: Colleen Hoover, Auctions, & More →
RECOMMENDED: Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron is $2.49! This was mentioned on a previous podcast and a previous Whatcha Reading. The second book of Aaron’s we’ve featured this week and the comments had good things to say about Aaron’s storytelling. Sarah loved this book:
Nice Dragons Finish Last is fast-moving fantasy adventure with outstanding worldbuilding. It’s an experience to read.

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 →
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi is $1.99! I believe this is Chokshi’s full-length adult debut. It’s a Gothic fantasy and it’s had a cover redesign since it’s release. I think I prefer the the original.

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 →

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 →
RECOMMENDED: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker is $1.99! Catherine gave this one an A-:
I loved Battle Royal. While it did have minor flaws, it more than made up for them with humour, tenderness, and food porn.

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 →
