Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E6: I’m Already Drunk
First of all, I pre-gamed this episode so I’m already tipsy. Please enjoy my rambling about cats. Radar update: He’s the most hyper kitten I’ve ever fostered and I’ve fostered a lot of kittens. I told the rescue manager he needs to be adopted by a family who has 7-10 children because that will be required to keep him occupied. He plays until he pants (which is a normal dog thing, not a normal cat … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E6: I’m Already Drunk

The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope
This book is a magical heist set in DC in the 20s. For those folks who just headed over to find a copy, I hope you like it! For those who need a bit more detail: I started this book on a chaotic morning when there was a lot of noise in my house and a lot of barking because of the noise, and despite all that, I could not put it down. Each chapter … Continue reading The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope

Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! Welcome back, friends! During out podcast recordings, Sarah mentioned that either someone on a subreddit she follows or a discord she’s in treats themselves for making it through the sweaty summer. Isn’t that great?

I’m starting my first in-person campaign with my partner later in the fall and I have no dice. … Continue reading Links: Movies, Crafting, & More

The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews is $1.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale! This is book one in Matthews’ new series, The Belles of London. The description definitely piques my interest, but I feel like Matthews books don’t get as sexy for me as I want them.

HaBO: Heroine Travels Through Time While on a Work Assignment
This HaBO comes from Brittany, who wants to find this time travel romance: It starts off with the protagonist, who I’m pretty sure was in the field of archeology or anthropology…maybe architecture, being somewhat unhappy/apathetic about her life at that point. Her parents wanted her to marry this guy, and she was either unsure or didn’t want to. She goes on some sort of overseas work trip/field trip with colleagues. Something happens plot-wise, and suddenly … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Travels Through Time While on a Work Assignment
