Martha Wells, Short Stories, & More
Will They or Won’t They by Ava Wilder is $4.99! This is an enemies to lovers story with two actors who play love interests on-screen. Wilder’s debut How to Fake It in Hollywood had a lot of recommendations on the site, but I think this one isn’t as beloved.
The Rec League: Cocky Cowboys
This Rec League comes from Elyse: Heroes with Glen Powell from Twisters vibes (kinda cocky cowboy with secret heart of gold). Bonus points for found family Shana: I haven’t seen Twisters but cowboys are my jam. I suggest The Cowboy Whisperer by Sabrina Sol and Rebekah Weatherspoon’s Cowboys of California series. Beverly Jenkins’s has some cocky cowboys too: Something Like Love and her Old West series might work for this. Have any of you seen Twisters? … Continue reading The Rec League: Cocky Cowboys
Links: Exhibitions, Cat Games, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How is everyone doing? If you need some super cute news, I’ve managed to get Fig into a baby sling wrap so I can play video games or do work and still “hold” her.

I also appreciate … Continue reading Links: Exhibitions, Cat Games, & More

HaBO: She Draws Pet Portraits
This HaBO is from Sara, who wants to find this romance: I’m reading Hello Stranger by Katherine Center and it’s triggering the strongest book deja vu, but I can’t for the life of me (and the power of Google) remember the other book. The heroine is a portrait artist who I think paints pet portraits and has an online store. I think it’s set in LA or somewhere similarly beachy/sunny. That’s about all I remember … Continue reading HaBO: She Draws Pet Portraits
