It’s a holiday week here in the US, but I’m avoiding the heat, illegal fireworks and public intoxication and staying in the AC with Lady Pudding. For her part, Pudding doesn’t celebrate the Fourth of July as she’s an avowed monarchist… …although she believes she should be the queen. She’s not wrong though. We immediately establish that Brayden has not met an accessory that he doesn’t like. “I feel like you won the First Impression … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S20 E2: Spring Break →

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m getting over the flu, so that should give plenty of indication how my weekend went. I also got to see a little bit of my partner’s hometown and grabbed some delicious bagels from a local shop (toasted sesame with bacon scallion cream cheese). I love me a bagel, though the best I’ve had was in Montreal (St. Viateur – sesame with just butter). Any fellow bagel lovers … Continue reading Links: Fruit, Book Binding, & More →
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is $3.99! I love this series. The writing is so beautiful and I would happily send 300+ pages in the world McGuire has created. However, I will warn that these books have a haunting sadness to them or can be downright horrific.

She works in a bar to save up money and then travels the world in the Jeep her father gave her when he was diagnosed … Continue reading Off the Map by Trish Doller →

Hide those wallets because it’s Tuesday, and that means new releases. Admittedly, I think it’s a slow start to the month, but the next two weeks are looking overloaded with new books we want to pick up. All I’m saying is get ready and gird yourselves for the next two HYW posts. This one has a couple rereleases of previously published books with new covers or updated content. There are also contemporary romances and mysteries!
Reel by Kennedy Ryan is $2.49! This was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I love this cover and the color palette they chose! This is a romance set in Hollywood, if that happens to be your catnip.
