Stuff You Should be Watching: The Traitors

When Sarah first told The Bitchery about the new US version of the British reality show The Traitors, I immediately thought it sounded too stressful for my taste. The Traitors has twenty contestants competing in a murder mystery game where a few of them are secretly Traitors, trying to eliminate the rest of the contestants and keep the prize money for themselves. They’re all trapped in a sprawling Scottish estate where they spend their days … Continue reading Stuff You Should be Watching: The Traitors

Tara: Is this man going to fuck a mountain? Sneezy: The mountain called. It asked him to please don’t. Amanda: What a strange personal ad title.

Books on Sale: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant & More

RECOMMENDED: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant is $2.99! This book is often recommended in terms a sex-positive heroine. However, other readers found the heroine’s view of sex to be rather unromantic. I feel like this is one of the more divisive romances; people either seem to love it or hate it.

This Rec League comes from Noel. Thanks, Noel! I’ve been really into m/m romances lately of all shapes and genres and suddenly wondered if there were any in medieval settings? Knights and all that.
