It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book
Lisa suggested this might make a good Friday video, considering the attempts to advertise longterm boner drugs without our consent. She's entirely right! Link! I hope your weekend is full of all the best in solo and duet performances! Heh heh.
A few weeks back, author Michelle Styles emailed me about her new book, His Unsuitable Viscountess ( A | BN | K | S ), which comes out this month. Michelle wrote: My latest Regency His Unsuitable Viscountess is published in August. [The heroine] is a Regency businesswoman who has to make a marriage of convenience in order to keep control of the family business under the terms of her stepfather's will. When I was … Continue reading Amazing Regency Businesswomen - A Guest Post by Michelle Styles
When I'm at RWA, I carry a notebook with me, partly for writing down any excellent things I overhear, and partly to take notes on things I notice, because by the end of the conference, I can't remember my name much less what I heard three hours prior. Or three days prior. So I have a few notes and different pieces of RWA written up, but I want to start with Stephanie Laurens' keynote, which … Continue reading Speeches, Events, and Overheard at RWA
So let me tell you about my morning! While I was taking my cats to the vet (they LOVED it) (NOT), someone hacked the Bitchery palace and tried to drop links to those male erectile dysfunction drugs that are constantly advertised during football and baseball games. Two bathtubs on a hillside, that kind of thing (WHY are there bathtubs?). So there were errors and WTF? and email messages of, “Um, is something wrong?” when I … Continue reading And…We’re Back! Let’s Punish the Evildoers
Time to announce the August Sizzling Book Club selection! This month's pick is Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry. The summary: No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with “freaky” scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, … Continue reading August Book Club Selection: Pushing the Limits by Kate McGarry - with Giveaway!
Time to thank the folks who advertised here for the month of July. If you noticed or clicked on the ads, you helped support advertisers who want to reach romance readers directly, and you help support the upkeep of the hot pink palace of Bitchery. And if you've been looking for an ad for a past month, at the bottom of the ad column is an archive of the advertisements. Thank you to the advertisers, … Continue reading Thanking the July Advertisers
In this edition of Interviews from RWA, I interview Michelle Beidelspach, Serena* Selina McLemore, and Amy Pierpont from Grand Central/Forever about pitching, interacting with authors, and what not to do to an editor while she's in the bathroom. I talk with Donna Alward, who was a finalist for the RITA this year, as well as Taylor Reynolds, who comments here pretty frequently. Taylor is an aspiring author, veteran and RWA 2012 speaker.

This not really a review, it's more of a report. I'm in the middle of reading Reading In The Brain: The New Science of How We Read. I wanted to let the Bitches know about this book, as it is the ultimate meta reading experience for a nerd. However, I haven't finished reading the whole book – and in case you're wondering why I don't just write the review when I'm done with the book, … Continue reading Reading in the Brain: A Guest Review by CarrieS
