Kirsty Greenwood’s book The Love of My Afterlife is out now, and it’s bubbly and charming and funny, with a lot of emotion, so we’re going to talk all about it. We also talk about making friends as an adult, and how there’s just about every genre inside this book. There’s even a heist. This might be why it’s the Good Morning America book club pick this month – congrats Kirsty! Then I learned she’s … Continue reading 622. The Love of My Afterlife with Kirsty Greenwood →
Glitterland by Alexis Hall is $1.99! This is one of Hall’s earlier books that received a cover redesign. Not sure how I like it, honestly. I think it’d fit more if the main characters were ice skaters. This book was also in a Rec League for bipolar representation.

Greetings and salutations! I returned home from a vacation with that dastardly minx COVID, and so, this week, I am embracing the way of the potato. I shall become the potato, and I shall potato most…aaand there’s my favorite COVID symptom: I forget words. GREAT FUN. Not like I need them or anything. So, that’s how I am: POTATO. I am potato. Yup, that’s me. This year, July 4 feels super weird. Does it feel that … Continue reading Hayadoin? →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For those in the States, have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend! I will personally be doing nothing, which is just how I like it. Final Fantasy XIV just dropped a new expansion and Power Wash Simulator has a new DLC, so I’ll be going full goblin mode to game. And while I love a fireworks show, I’ve done the big Boston display a couple times and the thought of dealing … Continue reading Links: More Bingo, Cool Dogs, & More →

After sharing my Barbara Cartland puzzle collection, HeatherS had a wonderful idea for a future community post: This post prompts a need for a romance merch roundup post, where y’all have to share any and all licensed romance merch (vintage or more recent) that you’ve collected with us.

I have a giant poster of Melting the Ice by Jaci Burton (courtesy of the lovely publicity team at … Continue reading Show Us Your Book Merch and Romance Memorabilia! →

Help A Bitch Out
by Amanda · Jul 2, 2024 at 10:00 am · Comments Off on HaBO: She Had an Artist Lover named Emil
This HaBO comes from Veronica, who wants to find this book: I think it was a Regency romance published in the late 80s or 90s (probably 90s). The heroine has a fight/misunderstanding with the hero and ends up going to Paris to stay with her aunt/grandmother for the season. She meets a poor artist named Emil/Emile (?) and has an affair with him. He dies of consumption and she ends up meeting the hero again … Continue reading HaBO: She Had an Artist Lover named Emil →

RECOMMENDED: Season of Love by Helena Greer is $1.99! Both Tara and Sarah squeed about this one:
Tara: There’s nothing I didn’t love about this story. Truly everything worked for me, from the characters to the writing style to the themes, even when they’re difficult. This is going straight to my to-reread pile, because I can see myself reading this every December.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! This is where we discuss coves that we like or think are interesting. Cover design by Andrew Davis Sarah: I think this cover is so cute. The color scheme really works for me. I know from Lara’s review that the vibes of the cover do not match the story, but I still love the artwork. Amanda: It’s a very romantic color palette. Sneezy: I agree! I really enjoy this illustrative … Continue reading Cover Awe: Romantic Pink Shades, Comic Styles, & More →
