HaBO: Tattoo of a World on Fire

This HaBO is from Alyssa, who wants to find this romance: Hey y’all! There are some spoilers in this ! I’ve read this book before and would love to read it again, but I don’t remember specific details like names of characters, titles, or author. I do remember events in this book. It is not really all that dark but more of a taboo relationship but: It’s an age-gap romance. I think there’s like a … Continue reading HaBO: Tattoo of a World on Fire

The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers

The City of Stardust

When I first read the description of The City of Stardust, it seemed like a tempting amalgamation of things I love in a quasi-dark academia package. Things I heard and read alluded to a magical mystery, vengeful gods, and a forbidden romance. Yes, I can confirm the book had all of those things, but wow, did it take a lot of time to get things done. Violet Everly knows her family is cursed. Once in … Continue reading The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers

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–S28 E1: Even Canada Says No…Thanks

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

Attractive African American woman throwing snow and smiling in winter forest

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
