It’s time for the first of several end of the year episodes! This year I’ve invited the staff reviewers at SBTB and our podcast Patreon community to tell me their holiday wishes for everyone, a book that made their year better, and their big win for 2022. This week: Sue, JFHobbit, Maria Vale and Lilisonna share their picks – and of course, no one brings just one best of book! Music: purple-planet.com
RECOMMENDED: The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang is $1.99! This is the third book in The Kiss Quotient trilogy, which I loved. I liked this one a lot. Yes, I consider it to be a romance. However, I’m not sure if or when I’ll do a re-read as it deals heavily with caring for a parent, especially one with which the heroine has really complicated dynamics. I had to do that over the pandemic and it was a very personal and emotional read for me.
This Rec League request was sent in by Jessi: Hello! I know this might not be what other people are looking for right now, but I have been devouring post apocalyptic romances and I need more to feed the beast. So far, I’ve read everything by Kit Rocha, Claire Kent’s Last Light, Alyssa Cole’s Radio Silence trilogy and most recently Kat Bostick’s Moonshine. I don’t care what type of apocalypse it is, and I really … Continue reading The Rec League: Post-Apocalyptic Romances
It’s Wednesday! It’s also the last day of November. How the heck did we get here? For those who celebrated Thanksgiving, how was it? My chocolate mousse with cinnamon whipped cream was a big hit and so good. There were also a few mornings where I ate leftover mashed potatoes for breakfast. Now, we begin the slow march (or rather brisk step) toward the final holidays before the new year. How are we all feeling? … Continue reading Links: Advent Calendars, Fiber, & More

A Duke, a Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley is $1.99! This one underwent a cover redesign. I think it’s fine, though the baby carriage doesn’t look to scale. Have you read this one?
This HaBO is from Adele, who is hoping to find this book: I was looking for this paranormal book. It’s about this girl and her sister with wings in a small town, and they belong to a tribe that’s looking for them. They have special powers, and I think that the girl is a fire-breather while her sister is kinda sorta maybe a banshee? But it has something to do with dragon-ish people (I think). … Continue reading HaBO: Sisters with Special Powers in a Small Town
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center is $3.99! I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet and was tempted by the bodyguard heroine. However, it’s still in my to-read stack. Have you read this one?
