This HaBO comes from Victoria, who is looking for this historical romance: I am trying to find a book I read maybe 3 or 4 years ago. It is driving me insane at this point that I can find no traces of it online with endless googling of plot line combos. The book was a Regency romance where the main character travelled to a widower’s estate, possibly with another family member. The main characters had … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Organizes Library →
Tara: A few weeks ago, Sarah slacked me with the following: Tara Season of Love is so good It’s so freaking good. So, I did what any other smart person would do and started reading it. And guess what? She was completely and totally right. Sarah: I do like it when I’m right. Tara: Miriam Blum lives in Charleston with her fiancee, who she loves but is not in love with, and she’s weeks away … Continue reading Season of Love by Helena Greer →
RECOMMENDED: Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly is $3.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Tara and Carrie did a joint review and gave it a B+:
Tara: Overall, I really enjoyed this one! Dahlia and London were such wonderful characters, and I’m a big fan of cooking shows, so I know I’ll be reading Love and Other Disasters again. I’ll just be sure to stock snacks next time, because reading about so much amazing food made me hungry.
Carrie: I was delighted with this book overall. The supporting characters were fun (or loathsome, as the plot demanded). The character development was realistic and powerful. The romance was sexy and I can totally picture Dahlia and London as an old couple on a porch somewhere — I was invested in them for the long haul. This will be one of my comfort re-reads for sure!

Is that his linen napkin stuck in his armpit? I need answers. Sarah: Many of the decisions that went into this cover were unfortunate. Amanda: My brain knows this is dirt, but it’s also blue? From Jen: The guys … Continue reading Cover Snark: More Questions Than Answers →

It’s our first Whatcha Reading of December, which means we’re nearly toward the end of 2022! Now, let’s talk books! Claudia: I’m reading Killers of a Certain Age and mulling over my own hit list! Shana: Do you think it gets longer the older we live? Sarah: Yes.
