Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi is $1.99! I believe this was 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.
I would like to start by explaining that I am not saying The Gilded Age on HBO (Max? HBO Max? Do they even know anymore?) is a perfect show. It is flawed in many ways. It is however perfectly silly biscuits and every episode finds me laughing with it and at it. Also kudos to every actress on this series who is wearing a serious corset and dresses that I can only imagine pinch in … Continue reading Stuff You Should be Watching: The Gilded Age
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For me, February and August are some of the longest months…and I mean that psychologically. Time crawls at a snail’s pace and soon I will have to say goodbye to my blissful summer office schedule. We also have a little over a month left in SBTB Bingo and as someone participating, wow. I sure did a tricky job with these squares. You all have my sympathies! Sarah and I have … Continue reading Links: Data, Walks, & More
RECOMMEND: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary is $2.99 and a KDD. We had a great guest review of this one and Lisa the Librarian gave it an A-:
It was romantic, sweet, hot, funny, and original – everything I’m looking for in a romance. I can definitely see myself rereading this in the not-too-distant future.

The Alpha takes her to his pack and enslaves her at the tavern where she is forced to work. He ignores her for as long as possible. Her father was a horrible shifter, abusing women, and no one knows the daughter stayed with her dad to help the women escape. … Continue reading HaBO: Alpha’s Pack Also Has Witches
GUEST RECOMMENDED: The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! We had a guest review of this one from Heather Morris and they gave it an A-:
That quibble aside, there are so many things little things that I loved. Platonic male-female friendship. Sharpshooting and fake duels. Seduction-by-bookkeeping. A frankly excessive amount of kittens.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Amanda: Does she have to pee? Claudia: Yes! Also, his left pant leg is missing? Sarah: Why is the perspective weird? Their legs look so short and their heads are so large? Okay taking another look, I think the angle of her hip looks too low. So it looks like her legs are short and her midsection is bizarro long, and her head is sized correctly, just looks out of … Continue reading Cover Snark: How Do Legs Work? (Diagrams Included)
