Tell us what you're reading this month!

Cover Snark: Scared Cats & Celebrity Look-A-Likes

Kiss My Sass by C.D. Gorri. A shirtless, tattooed man is looming over a woman wearing a macrame bra that looks painted on. A black bird and black woman are gazing into each other's eyes on the right hand side and a small motorcycle appears to emerge from the couple's legs.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From PamG: Is her top tattooed on? Are his tattoos decals? Amanda: That wolf is about to eat that bird for sure and the motorcycle feels like a hidden eye image. Sarah: I made that same face when I attended a bralette like that with similar, endowments and was just as disappointed. From Emily Jane Buehler: This one has it all. My favorite part is that the “alien” is depicted … Continue reading Cover Snark: Scared Cats & Celebrity Look-A-Likes

Elyse Watches The Bachelor with Kraken Rum and Coke

My husband, Rich, wanted me to wait until he got home to recap this episode because said the first episode is always the best one. That’s like picking the best turd out of the litterbox. In case this is your first time reading one of my recaps I have a theory regarding The Bachelor. No one wants to win this show. You want to stay on it long enough to enjoy the free booze, free travel, … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S28 E1: Even Canada Says No…Thanks

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading? As we close out January (already?!), we want to hear what you’ve been reading, the good or the bad. Sarah: Demon Daughter by Lois McMaster Bujold! New Penric new Penric! Penric and Desdemona makes me remember Catherine fondly, too, since she and I talked to McMaster Bujold in a podcast episode about this series. I love that the series is her retirement and I hope she’s still having a good … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? January 2024, Part Two

Book Review

Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco

Throne of the Fallen

CW: Graphic violence, blackmail, sexual harassment, and mind control If I had to pick one word to describe Throne of the Fallen, it would be ✨ decadent ✨. A second choice would be indulgent. It has the seven deadly sins in corporeal form, a journey through a seductive fantasy world, and it’s incredibly horny. It also reminded me delightfully of early 2000s paranormal romances, with its borderline corny details and powerful supernatural hero and plenty … Continue reading Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco
