Y’all know I love my Brontës and I get so annoyed when either adaptations of their work or stories based on their lives get EVERYTHING WRONG, DAMMIT. My Brother’s Keeper is an eerie story involving the Brontë family, werewolves, and warring cults, and, darn it, it gets everything just absolutely perfect. I was so impressed with this book even though the whole warring cults thing was the least interesting thing about it. I’m copying the … Continue reading My Brother’s Keeper by Tim Powers →

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO comes from Kierra, who wants to find this YA book: I read this book a friend gave me when I was in 6th grade (I’m 20 now for reference). It’s about a girl in a post-apocalyptic (maybe, not sure?) world, and she has this love interest named Cole. There are a few other characters. I remember this one guy who dates a girl named Kayla (maybe?). She ends up dying and I think … Continue reading HaBO: Apocalyptic Cole →

Welcome back to Cover Awe, where we look at covers that caught our eye. Sarah: This is a mystery but I really like this cover I spotted in a Netgalley email. Lara: Spooky bread! I’m here for it! Amanda: And a pun! It wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without a pun on the cover. Sarah: It’s the yeast they can do. Sneezy: The little ghostie face rising with the steam is so cute! I hope … Continue reading Cover Awe: Flowers, Perspectives, & More →
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Last time, I featured mostly fiction and one true crime book. This time, it’s half and half, but I’ll be honest that none of these are uplifting. For the fiction, get your tissues ready. The non-fiction titles skew more toward activism and systemic racism. What recommendations have you received lately? Are they on any particular theme?
Brace yourselves, Bitches, for a very abbreviated description of the life of Margaret Beaufort, one of the most Kickass Women in Tudor history, a period of time during which Kickass Women rather abounded despite their lack of legal rights. Here’s the basics. Lady Margaret Beaufort was born on May 31,1443. She was a descendant of King Edward III. Margaret became the sole heir of her father’s fortune in infancy and survived all manner of complicated … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Margaret Beaufort →
Happy Bachelor recap! Hopefully you’re having a better week than our Bachelor, Joey, who earlier mixed up Ruth Bader Ginsberg with Gypsy Rose Blanchard. I would argue that Joey has the same number of thoughts as Fish, and this is Fish. There are six women left, and we’re in Jasper National Park in Alberta. Jenn says she wants to “get naked and cuddle in the woods,” which doesn’t seem like a great idea because you’re … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S28 E7: A Lot of Dramatic Music All for Nothing →
