Elyse Watches The Bachelorette with Kraken Rum and Coke with a big rose at the bottom

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

The Rec League: Kinky Cinnamon Rolls

The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old book

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

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

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

What Are You Looking Forward To This Fall?

bright green blue and yellow notes with the words HOW ARE YOU? written on the top note held against a bulletin board with a pink pushpin

Tomorrow is the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere, and the first day of spring south of the equator. Happy new season everyone! Now, I’m told that Costco has the holiday decorations up already. On one hand I find this deeply amusing because I cannot tell you how much I delight in knowing that I, or anyone with a membership card, can find Jesus in the aisles of Costco. On the other hand, … Continue reading What Are You Looking Forward To This Fall?

HaBO: Receptionist by Day, Sex Worker by Night

This HaBO comes from Aleksandra, who is looking for this romance: I’ve been looking for this novel for years. Sometimes I even think I imagined it… I read it in the 90s. If I remember correctly the cover was white with some green or dark blue. I think it was written by a British author (I borrowed it from the British Council Library and they used to lend only books by British authors) and I … Continue reading HaBO: Receptionist by Day, Sex Worker by Night

Book Review

Only Bad Options by Jennifer Estep

Only Bad Options

I’d never heard of a space opera before. Having just read my first, I’m not sure that I’m qualified to define it, but I can tell you that I absolutely love it! This is 429 pages of reading joy. That this is book one in a series fills me with delight – so many happy reading hours ahead! As I see it, a space opera seems to be part romance, part space adventure. Let’s dive … Continue reading Only Bad Options by Jennifer Estep
