RECOMMENDED: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang is $2.99! (This could be a leftover KDD from the weekend.) I’m jealous of those who get to read this for the first time. We had a wonderful guest squee of this and it was my favorite read of 2018:

Sarah and I frequently talk about video games, and I thought it would be fun to find pairings of video games and books that work well together. We’d also love to hear what games you’ve been playing recently and what books may complement them. Stardew Valley is a cozy, farming game that Sarah and I have streamed many times. You revive a farm in a small town. Maybe you spend your day fishing or wooing … Continue reading Book and Video Game Pairings →

When he breaks up with her, she’s left with a huge gap in her CV, no severance and few options (he, of course, kept her off the books). Ellie … Continue reading Dr. Perfect by Louise Bay →
