Librarian Robin Bradford has a new book: The Reader’s Advisory Guide to Romance! We talk about what reader’s advisory is, and how she teaches libraries to welcome readers looking for romance, and introduce romance to readers who aren’t aware it’s something they like. Robin talks a lot about book covers as marketing devices on Twitter, so of course we talk about the evolution of romance covers, too, plus summer book lists from schools and the … Continue reading 569.

Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan is $1.99! Sarah mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet and was interested in the meta-ness of it. She also had Whelan on the podcast!

This Rec League comes from Anne, who wanted a part two of audiobook recommendations. Our previous audiobook Rec League dropped in 2016! I am an avid audiobook listener and am always searching for new narrators. I know that you posted a couple Rec League requests about audiobooks, but the most recent one that I found was from 2016 and I wondered if you would consider an updated Rec League request for audiobooks. It turns out … Continue reading The Rec League: More Audiobook Recs →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! What’s new with me? I’m sick! Have a sore throat that I’m definitely not loving and doing everything I can to soothe it. We also have a long weekend here in the States for the 4th of July. Boston definitely goes all out, but I will be staying inside, cranking my AC, and probably playing Power Wash Simulator (there’s a new Spongebob Squarepants DLC dropping tomorrow!) How are you all doing? … Continue reading Links: Drag Queens, Horror, & More →
The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas is $1.99! I know her previous book The Spanish Love Deception got a lot of buzz, but I know little about this one. Have you read it?

I listened to this book, which I definitely recommend because it is about 6 hours, and it’s read by the author. She’s a comic and writer so her timing and delivery are terrific. This book is part memoir and part advice on how trauma and childhood insecurity can interfere with your friendship-making and -keeping skills. It’s also about how to identify ways to evaluate and keep good friendships. Important: The book isn’t really about going … Continue reading You Will Find Your People by Lane Moore →
RECOMMENDED: Something Wild and Wonderful by Anita Kelly is $2.99! Carrie read this one and gave it an A-:
I adored Something Wild and Wonderful, a sweet romance between two men who meet while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). I thought it was a beautifully written, funny, warm, touching, empowering, and sexy grumpy-sunshine story.

This HaBO is from DK, who wants to give this DNF another try: All I remember is in the beginning of the story, the heroine was at the airport waiting for her flight and she was talking to either a waiter or bartender. There was a man, who was a stranger to her, and they started talking, having a drink together, and flirting. Right after that, they ended up having sex/making out in one of … Continue reading HaBO: Making Out at the Airport →
Let’s all celebrate the last release week in June! It’s a doozy. I also noticed that some books originally on our list got pushed back by a month or two. This time, we have historical romances, wild sounding mysteries, and some popular contemporary romance releases.
The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This is book four in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series. I loved the intimacy in the last couple covers of this series. Have you read all four? What do you think?

I mentioned this book in a recent edition of Whatcha Reading? and said, I have started A Most Agreeable Murder and it is extremely silly and absurd and I’m turning pages. Or pressing a button to do so, whatever. There are glowing, I presume bioluminescent, frogs. Their glowy slime is likely used for face cream to create a similarly glowy complexion. These frogs are unique to the town and make a lot of noise. I … Continue reading A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales →
