Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films was balm to my nerdy little heart. I got into horror much the same way I got into romance, which is to say I thought I didn’t like it, then realized I had been liking it all along somehow without noticing, and then I couldn’t get enough of it. There are some interesting intersections between romance and horror as genres, and I know we have some fans here … Continue reading Nightmare Fuel by Nina Nesseth
RECOMMENDED: Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski is $2.99! Sarah and Elyse jointly reviewed this one and gave it an A:
This book is nonfiction about the science behind stress, what it is, and how we deal (or don’t deal) with it effectively. Between the science and the practical applications, it’s incredibly informative, useful, soothing, and empowering.

Ravished by Amanda Quick is $1.99! This is a historical romance with some Beauty and the Beast vibes, which many readers loved. However, other readers felt the heroine’s characterization was a bit inconsistent with constant mood changes. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads. Have you read this one?

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

Each chapter … Continue reading The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope
