This HaBO is from Gerry, who is hoping to find out whether this book is real: I haven’t read this book, but it was casually referred to in another book, and it is driving me crazy. It is a romance novel. The main character is a physicist and she collects medieval assassins’ tools. It was mentioned in one of Ghost Mountain Pack books by Audrey Faye. I think it was in Shield, but it could … Continue reading HaBO: Is This a Real Book?
A Dawn of Onyx by Kate Golden is $1.99! This is book one in the Sacred Stones Trilogy. I’m definitely curious about this fantasy romance, but I find that I don’t often have the patience to follow the same romance over several books.
Hey, hello! Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Jfhobbit in the SBTB Patreon Discord: I have a submission to Cover Snark, entirely on the basis of their expressions mid-embrace. He looks confused?

Elyse: Or hearing the cat start to puke Tara: He looks like he doesn’t know where he is and she’s considering … Continue reading Cover Snark: Hot Groot

My “Stay Gold, Horny Girl” sweatshirt definitely … Continue reading Romance Novels + Cheese Pairings

So this week’s Bachelor opens on a weird note. Joey is Montreal.

Then he says, “I’m trying to do my best to show who I am and express how I feel, but it’s just hard to do that while also being more fun and being … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S28 E6: Everyone Needs a Nap
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! This is our second and last one of February 2024. How are you ending the month? Shana: I’m reading Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley. It’s a Ramadan-Christmas-Hanukkah romcom set in a Canadian small town. I really love that it takes place in 2000, because there’s lots of cultural easter eggs to enjoy. Lara: I just finished The Martian by Andy Weir and it was … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2024, Part Two
RECOMMENDED: While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory is $1.99! Elyse and Shana reviewed this one and gave it an A:
Shana: Overall, I loved this low-conflict celebrity romance with all the fun of dating in the public eye, and little of the stress.
Elyse: I agree. This is a tropey, low angst read with hot sex scenes and supportive secondary characters.
