We have a word among the bitchery: catnip. Catnip in this context is not the plant, it is the trope, or group of tropes that is our personal drug of choice. The Mimicking of Known Successes is a queer science fiction romance/mystery featuring a woman who is of the Sherlock Holmes mode of detective and another woman as the Watson type, although unlike some versions of Watson, this one is intelligent and useful. I understand … Continue reading The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older →
It’s Wednesday, y’all! And that means it’s time for Links! Half of these links came from our wonderful Discord community – thank you! “How can I get into the Discord?” you might be wondering. It’s a perk from joining the Patreon! On top of that, you also get bonus podcast episodes, usually with me or including cut material from the Friday episodes. Last week, I celebrated my birthday with my wonderful partner and just felt … Continue reading Links: Becky Chambers, Bird Dads, & More →

Lara had a question for the community that I thought many of you could relate to. Folks! I have a quandary. I’m in the opposite of a reading rut. Every book I’ve picked up over the last few weeks has been magical! It has wrought havoc on my boring admin to do list. Every spare second I have, I want to spend with my nose in a book. How to resist the temptation?? Chores! Errands! … Continue reading How Do You Stop Yourself from Reading? →

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Omphale, who wants to find this historical romance: So I was googling about the safety of leaded crystal (basically, I can use my grandfather’s leaded Edinburgh tot glasses so long as I drink quickly!) and it reminded me of this short Regency I read back in the mid-2000s (so it might have been Signet or Zebra) where all I can recall is an extremely suspect mental health “solution.” I have no … Continue reading HaBO: A Lithium-Glazed Pitcher →
It’s almost laughable at this point that I’m still reviewing Laura Griffin books. I could save everyone time and just write a one-liner: great book, read it. I really like these books. Deep Tide focuses on a character I’ve really enjoyed in this series: Leyla Breda. Her brothers were the heroes in the other books and I enjoyed them when they found their HEAs, but in this one, they were often a little one dimensional with some … Continue reading Deep Tide by Laura Griffin →
The Admiral’s Penniless Bride by Carla Kelly is $1.99! Some readers on GR really liked the older hero/younger heroine pairing, and the consideration of the hero in particular.
Sarah: Kelly’s books are a unique kind of historical, and they’re wonderfully immersive. SLURP into the book you go.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Gloriamarie Sarah: Have we snarked this before? I’m getting all the alien/nanny/childcare books confused. Amanda: We have snarked MANY Tasha Black covers. Sarah: I still have many questions about the absence of social support networks and child care in this universe. Claudia: Can they really be an advanced society? I think not. I do think we haven’t done this one yet but many like it. The last one had … Continue reading Cover Snark: An Abundance of Nuns, Firemen, & More →
The weekend of April 1, a friend and I made the three-hour trek down to the Windy City for Yarn Con 2023.
