Amanda and I are back for cover mayhem! We’ve got crimes against Tom Hardy, questionable titles, and lots of visual silliness. There’s background barking of support from Zeb, inquiries as to the union terms of the shifter cover wolves, and questions about the futility of truly ever knowing who it was that let the dogs out. Thanks to David T. Cole for helping me figure out how to add images. You should be able to … Continue reading 534. Spooky Season Cover Snark →
A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday is $1.99! Carrie read this and gave it a B:
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I found it to be feminist and sexy, loving and funny. It was the book I had no idea I needed and it comforted me right down to my toes. I absolutely recommend this as a holiday de-stressor and I am hoping that there is a more inclusive sequel for some of the supporting characters.

It’s Halloween! And it’s also holiday season because obviously Halloween has no strength as a barrier between “apple cider/pumpkin spice” and “HOLY CRAP HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS JINGLE TINSEL RAH RAH RAH.” Every year, my neighbors sit around a fire pit on Halloween and greet the neighborhood kids so they don’t have to go up and down all our steps (and alarm my dogs who, for the record, think Halloween is absolutely the Worst). We have themed … Continue reading Hayadoin? Got Halloween? →
Love in the Time of Serial Killers is an enjoyable book, but I struggle to classify it purely as a romance because so much of the novel is spent on the heroine overcoming her anxieties and struggling to move forward in her adult life. By contrast the hero really has no obstacles to overcome; he just has to wait for the heroine. Phoebe Walsh is busy working on her dissertation about rhetoric and genre theory … Continue reading Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson →
Welcome to Wednesday Links! How are you all? My partner and I hit up two apple orchards for our continued quest for the best apple cider donut in New England. I also had the opportunity to make my apple butterscotch pie and it turned out wonderfully! What are you Halloween plans? My partner’s friend and neighbor is having a get together. We’re wearing a couple’s costume: San and Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. We saw the movie … Continue reading Links: Cats, Dioramas, & More →
Home Work by Julie Andres is $2.99! This is Andrews’ second memoir and while it has positive reviews, I’ve also seen comments that it isn’t as good as her first one. I also have a feeling this would be fantastic on audio!

The Change is a flawed novel, but by golly it sure cheered me up at times. This book is about three women in their late forties who develop magical powers and use them to avenge murdered young women. I’m forty-nine-and-a-half and my only perimenopausal superpower so far is the ability to give progressively less of a shit, and this book fit right in with my current mood. Unfortunately, the book was somewhat superficial and problematic … Continue reading The Change by Kirsten Miller →
Wild, Wild Rake by Janna MacGregor is $1.99! This is book six in the Cavisham Heiresses series. Shana reviewed this one and wasn’t able to finish it, but your mileage may have varied!

This HaBO is from Barbara, who is looking for this historical romance: There’s a Regency romance set in London with a doofus duke (possibly earl, but I keep remembering duke) who is a secondary character. He has an overbearing mother who wants him to court a well-connected woman. He’s obsessed with horses and meets a busty young French woman at a livery stable run by a crusty French blacksmith. The duke is the comic relief … Continue reading HaBO: She’s Posing as a French Aristocrat →
A Dangerous Kind of Lady by Mia Vincy is 99c! This is book one in the Longhope Abbey series. Vincy’s books have been positively mentioned in the comments before. I believe Vincy’s writes fade to black scenes, but correct me if I’m wrong!

At this point, Laura Griffin’s books are a one-click purchase for me. I know that with her books I’m safe. I’ll have competent heroines, strong heroes and a great mystery. This book is no exception. Although, warning: there are cops. Ava Burch is a corporate lawyer who has moved to a small town in west Texas. She’s been given custody of her dad’s search-and-rescue dog and she’s set up a small law practice with her … Continue reading Vanishing Hour by Laura Griffin →
