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.

There are two romances, but some interesting literary fiction with surrealism and Gothic elements. Get any good recommendations lately? Any books you’d love to share?
It’s October! My favorite time of year! For me, this is the start to cozy reading. Here’s what we’re kicking off the month with at SBTB HQ: Elyse: I’ve been knitting A LOT lately so I haven’t been reading as much. I’ve been rereading 52 Weeks of Socks by Laine. Sarah: I just re-read Hither Page by Cat Sebastian, and it was just as lovely the second time. Susan: That’s a weird coincidence because I … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2022, Part One →

Amanda and I both really liked Station Eternity, so we were very excited to ask a bunch of questions!

Worry not, this … Continue reading 531. Solving Murder in Space with Mur Lafferty →
