Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Sara: WTF llamas?? I couldn’t help but share this cover I stumbled across. I stopped, my jaw dropped with a stuttered “What?!?” All the other covers in this series have a dog on them…and then…Llama!!! And a very serious, lip-pursing llama. Sarah: That llama has STORIES to TELL and TEA to SPILL. Carrie: Please tell me the llama is the narrator. Sarah: If the series is Montana Secrets…how many … Continue reading Cover Snark: Suspenseful Llamas →
We have reached Volume 69 of Get Rec’d! The pinnacle of funny numbers. And now that’s it; pack it up! Just kidding, Get Rec’d will still be continuing. I actually have two romance recommendations this time that I received from others, and I wound up buying one of them. I’ve also included some topical non-fiction and a memoir about trauma. Do you have any recommendations that you’d like to pass along? Leave them in the … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 69 →
RECOMMENDED: Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this deal. Catherine wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it a B+:
I enjoyed this story a lot. It contains many of the elements that feel like a traditional Western to me – scenes of blizzards and horse-breaking, confrontations in the local saloon, slick shysters from out East come to take advantage of the locals – but the central characters buck the stereotypes in numerous ways.

Now that we’re firmly in summer, it’s time to treat yourself to some beach reads! (No beach required to enjoy this delightful mix of books taking you everywhere from Hollywood to the high seas!)
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 →
Marple: Twelve New Mysteries is $1.99! This is an anthology of Miss Marple mysteries from a variety of wonderful authors. I remember Sarah was listening to his and really enjoying it.

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. Amanda: Most of my merch is art and special editions! 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! →
