An Immense World by Ed Yong is $2.99! I believe Aarya mentioned this on a previous Hide Your Wallet and I’ve heard it’s wonderful on audio. Did any of you pick this one up?

I’m curious about your crafting and hobbies and what you’re up to! What are you doing lately to support and recharge yourself? (I’m very nosy this week. ) Tara: I’m playing Hades again and have also been playing Balatro on my Nintendo Switch for months. Sarah: Hades! There is a lot of Balatro happening in Casa Wendell amongst my offspring. Tara: I think I’ve played almost 400 hours of Balatro since December . It’s a perfect … Continue reading What is Your Current Crafty Focus? →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are we all doing? Did anyone take part in the No Kings protest or any Pride festivities this past weekend? Boston had both on the same day. I loved seeing cities and towns, big and small, congregate in support of protecting their communities. I’m not a big fan of the summer and it usually flies by in a bit of a haze, but I’m even more eager to get … Continue reading Links: Video Games, Museums, & More →

Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett is $6.99! This is higher than the deals we feature, but this is the latest book in the Emily Wilde series and it just came out in February. No clue if we’ll see a steeper drop in price anytime soon.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! We’re halfway through June, but only have one more release this month. June through September is always a blur. Sometimes I forget August even exists. How are your new release lists looking today? Anything you’re excited for?

RECOMMENDED: How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne Long is $1.99! This made our Best of Reviews 2023 list at number five. There are also many of Long’s books ons ale, including book one, Perils of Pleasure, in her Pennyroyal Green series. Lara gave this a Squee grade:
This book made me swoon IRL. Reading it was a fever dream and not just because of the sex scenes. I was so immersed in it that the real world and its troubles didn’t even occur to me for the duration of the book. (I am anxious by nature, so this is a feat.)

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!

This HaBO comes from Danni, who wants to find this book for her friend: I’m searching for a book on behalf of my friend who has been desperately hunting for this book for years but hasn’t been able to turn up anything with regular google searches. I tried looking for them too, but I wasn’t able to find anything either. A couple got close, but nothing quite right. They read this book around 2006, the … Continue reading HaBO: Black Cat Masquerade Mask →
