You know those $10- or $20-or-less gift exchanges? We've got suggestions. So does Elvis.
Wait for It by Mariana Zapata is $2.99! Zapata is an autobuy author for many of you and the book has an impressive 4.3-star rating on Goodreads. Though the heroine has ties to a character in one of Zapata’s previous books, it can be read as a standalone. For any Zapata fans out there, how did this book rate compared to her other romances?
It’s Monday morning and time for some Cover Snark! From Rebecca: For your consideration for cover snarkiness because the title hurts my brain. Sarah: Sir, I am just as confused as you are. Elyse: WTF is happening with his armpit? Also it sounds like the baby she’s carrying is her roommate’s dad so is this a time travel issue? Sarah: Wait, maybe the cover model is pregnant with their roommate’s dad? That’s going to be … Continue reading Cover Snark: Is It Too Early for Easter?
Hey there! Are you ready to get rec’d? This is where we get to talk about book recommendations, whether we’re receiving them or giving them out. I love to do a bit of handselling at the bookstore and it’s always a point of pride when a customer takes a chance on your suggestion or staff pick. Have you recommended any good books lately? Picked up anything based on a friend’s suggestion?

A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. It’s Ross’s debut adult fantasy novel and there is a romantic subplot. I’ve also mentioned it on a previous Get Rec’d and Hide Your Wallet I think.
Reading romance can lead to many things, including…dyeing wool! Today my guest is Nakia of Wild Star Fibers, who created the Romancelandia collection of yarn. Knitters and readers unite! We’re going to talk about what books inspired the Romancelandia collection, and how she translated tropes to color combinations. I will have links to her shop in the show notes and she will be putting some of the extras up for sale very soon. … Music: … Continue reading 529. The Romancelandia Yarn Collection with Nakia from Wild Star Fibers
Starry-Eyed Love by Helena Hunting is $1.99! This is book two in the Spark House series, which features a group of friends who run like an events space. I feel like Hunting is a hit or mess author. What do you think?
Finally, finally after so much nonsense it’s the live 3 hour finale of The Bachelorette. THREE FUCKING HOURS OF THIS BULLSHIT. I have a cookie the size of my head. It’ll be okay. Oh, also Zach will be the new Bachelor. Pudding: …oh, joy. Dale opens up by telling us, “This season has really been brutal.” YOU FUCKIN’ THINK? So we cut back to Gabby walking away from Erich while crying because he told Gabby he wanted … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E12: Finally the Finale
This Rec League was sent in by Kim: I’m looking for male/female romances where the H is an alpha in the bedroom, but not elsewhere. Like, he is dominant or kinky or likes to tie the h up, etc., but he is also a nice guy. Or at least, like, a normal guy. Also, preferably he’s not a cop or military or security, or anything like that. I feel like every dominant-in-bed hero is (a) … Continue reading The Rec League: Kinky Cinnamon Rolls
Hey! It’s Wednesday! Can you believe it? Admittedly, I am dragging this week. I’m so unmotivated to do anything. Anyone else in the same boat? In cool things, I made dumplings on Sunday! I didn’t make the wrappers myself because that was a little too intimidating for a first time project, but the store bought ones worked out just fine. Made a batch of 50 with some filling left over. They were so tasty! I’m almost sad … Continue reading Links: Events, Cats, & More
