Amanda has discovered some hidden gems during her first year of home ownership.
If you had told me I’d be thoroughly charmed by a romance between a human and a mothman, I’d have thought you were imbibing too many berries of a fermented nature. I really enjoyed this story, which is equally cozy and erotic. The book has extremely explicit sex and lots of it (the first line is “She was too horny to think”) as well as a fully developed and very sweet romance, with realistic conflicts … Continue reading Sweet Berries by C.M. Nascosta
All the Feels by Olivia Dade is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance and the second book in the Spoiler Alert series. It was also just recommended by Shana in our recent Rec League on Book-Long Grovels.
Hey hey! Welcome back to Get Rec’d! This is where I discuss all sorts of book recommendations I’ve given out, overheard, or received in my many bookish communities. There’s some non-fiction, two very different mysteries, and a rec that I overheard a friend giving to someone else. I’m not above eavesdropping on a handsell! What have you been recommended lately? Or feel free to pass along any recs in the comments!
August is almost over, which means we get to wrap up our second Whatcha Reading for the month! Lara: For me, reading a historical romance is like pushing the reset button. So I’m in the early chapters of Sophie Irwin’s A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting and it’s doing the job. I just finished Only Bad Options by Jennifer Estep (which I loved) and gearing up for The Heretic Royal by G.A. Aiken. I’m dangerously … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2022, Part Two
This week is Hometowns, when the Bachelorette(s) visit their suitors’ hometowns and meet their families. So I guess they rented that cruise ship just to sail from France to Belgium? Today Radar decided to burn one of his nine lives by dashing up to Pudding’s bowl just as I set it down and stealing some of her wet food. I managed to grab him before any damage was done, but she was APPALLED. Pudding: The … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E7: Hometowns
Close Up by Amanda Quick is $1.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, so snap this one up! This is book four in the Burning Cove series, which has historical settings, mystery, and romance. Are you a fan of the series?
Romance will never stop bestowing glorious acts of graphic design upon us, so join us for some Cover Snark live! Amanda and I went foraging in the wilds of romance covers and surprised one another with images to discuss. So many questions. Which M is the Preg in the MMMPreg? Where IS the Third M?! What is the job market like for alien vampires? If you woke up tomorrow as a wealthy immortal alien vampire, … Continue reading 525. Cover Snark Live!
The Emma Project by Sonali Dev is $3.99! This is the last in Dev’s Austen-inspired Rajes series and is an Emma retelling. Sonali was also just on the podcast and as always, is such a blast to talk to.
Admittedly, I wasn’t sure how to sum this up in a quippy title, so definitely sound off with some suggestions in the comments. This one comes from Katie: I would like to put in a request for a Rec League! As I posted in my comments in a previous Whatcha Reading: The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells: Let me start by saying that this trope was something I didn’t know I really … Continue reading The Rec League: Book-Long Grovels
Hey all! It’s Wednesday! Can you believe it?! I’m ready for the week to be over, truly. Anyone else feel the same? I saw Nope with a friend of mine last week. I still think Get Out is my favorite Peele horror film, but this was pretty close to beating it. My partner said the first half was definitely a horror movie, while the second half felt more action/adventure. I’d definitely agree with that assessment. Did anyone else … Continue reading Links: Olivia Dade, YouTube Rabbit Holes, & More
