It’s that time, everyone! Time to tell us Whatcha Reading! This is the last Whatcha Reading of the year. Thank you all for another amazing year and for being part of this great community. I’m sure our TBR piles have ended a little (or perhaps a lot) heavier than when we started in January.

RECOMMENDED: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is $1.99! There’s a new book in the series out in October, focusing on a different couple. I gave the book an A, though there’s a great discussion in the comments if you’re on the fence:

I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savor and devour a book, and Bouchet’s writing is so engaging and magical that I wish she had some sort of backlist I could dive into for the next few months.

Shana and Maya join me to talk about the books that absolutely rocked their world this year, and because Shana was reading Seressia Glass’ The Love Con, we take a nice detour into “what we would do if we were in charge of reality television shows.” From GBBO to Project Runway, we have some thoughts!

Where I live the holiday season is cold, and it gets dark very, very early. It’s during this time of year that I like to tuck in with my coziest blanket and focus on creative rest. I do most of my crafting over the winter months. This giveaway features items to help you pass those (possibly) long, dark hours as well. First up is this cat embroidery kit by Hawthorn Handmade. If you’ve never done … Continue reading Hanukkah 2022 Night 6: Knitting! →
Desiring Lady Caro by Ella Quinn is $1.99! This is a historical romance with a Venetian setting. Reviews on Goodreads say this is a pretty fast-paced romance and that there’s a road trip element! Though trigger warning because it seems part of the heroine’s backstory includes rape.

This topical Rec League came from Rebecca. Thanks, Rebecca! It’s winter here in Minnesota, so I’m looking for snowed in forced proximity romances? I see there was a Rec League in 2017 but there have been a whole lot more books published since then! Amanda: Here was our previous Rec League! Elyse: Wrapped Up in You by Talia Hibbert That one is Kobo only, I think Shana: Tara suggested Snow Falls by Gerri Hill to … Continue reading The Rec League: Snowed In →

Nothing beats the joy of hearing a new song that captures whatever you’re going through or finding a TV show that makes you laugh until your face hurts. It’s time for our fifth night giveaway! For the … Continue reading Hanukkah 2022 Night 5: A Box of Books! →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! There’s only one more left in 2022. I can hardly believe it. I’ll be at my partner’s place on Christmas Eve, exchanging presents.

Christmas Day, I’ll be back at my own apartment where my roommate and I are going to order a metric ton of Chinese food to just relax. Happy holidays, … Continue reading Links: Short Films, Patrick Stewart, & More →
