Amanda has discovered some hidden gems during her first year of home ownership.
I love knitting socks. Sock yarn is fun and beautifully colored, and socks knit up quickly making them a satisfying project. October is Socktober according to knitters and you can follow the hashtag #socktober on social media to see the cool projects people are working on. Need some inspiration? Hang on to your wallet. This post is gonna get spendy. If, like me, you enjoy Spooky Season, there are some awesome spooky sock patterns that … Continue reading Happy Socktober!
This is a weird one – enjoy! Amanda and I have brought zany questions to answer, and we’re going to cover insults, ghosts, pets, and more. But we want to hear YOUR answers, too! Especially the one involving Grimace. … Music: purple-planet.com
RECOMMENDED: Sofia Khan is Not Obliged by Ayisha Malik is 99c! It has a new cover and I really like this updated one. Carrie reviewed this on and gave it B+:
This book succeeds because Sofia is so delightful. She’s devout but she sneaks cigarettes sometimes (often, actually). She’s smart and funny, but also young and uncertain. She makes a lot of mistakes but she’s always trying to do the right thing. She loves her family and they love her. Her voice is distinctive and endearing.

Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! How are you all doing? I feel like this is the first week in New England where it’s officially fall. I made some yummy apple butter on Sunday, though I overpromised batches and definitely need to make more for interested parties. My partner and I played a fun (and admittedly complicated) board game: Arkham Horror. It’s a spooky, cosmic horror game where characters have to work together to solve a mystery, … Continue reading Links: Conferences, Sandra Kitt, & More
And They Lived Happily Ever After by Therese Beharrie is $1.99! This came out last November and was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet. I believe we also mentioned it on our round up of witchy romances!
You know, I love a series that’s connected enough to be rewarding, but separate enough to be dipped into at any point. I did not enjoy the first book in Mimi Matthews’ Belles of London series, but I decided to give book 2 a try and I’m so glad that I did. As with so many of my reading kinks, they are so different from my real life preferences in human companionship. And as it … Continue reading The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews
The League of Gentlewoman Witches by India Holton is $1.99! This is book two in the Dangerous Damsels series, which I found to give me the same vibes as Shelly Laurenston. It’s just over the top, goofy fun!
CW: emotional abuse by parents The first thing you need to know about Sophie Go’s Lonely Hearts Club is that it will make you hungry. Sophie is a matchmaker in Toronto, and she loves food even more than romance. Sophie and her clients eat their way across the city, evocatively describing curry buns, guava candies, duck egg congee, nasi goreng, fruity pavlovas, and Krispy Kreme donuts. The second thing you should know is that while … Continue reading Sophie Go’s Lonely Hearts Club by Roselle Lim
The Bride Goes Rogue by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and the third book in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series. I believe it was mentioned on both a Cover Awe and Hide Your Wallet.
Are we ready to Cover Snark? Tara: Have we done this one yet? Amanda: definitely not… I feel like we should have seen a butt crack by now. Carrie: That jaguar is so done with this shit Lara: Maybe it’s the angle, but the curvature of that spine seems a bit off? It’s vaguely C-shaped. Also, which one is the assassin? Maya: Totally, I’m like hey girl can I refer you to a chiropractor? Sarah: … Continue reading Cover Snark: Sometimes, Diagrams Are Necessary
