Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley

Nobody’s Princess

Some books are just fun, and I had a smile on my face all throughout Nobody’s Princess. Graham is the de-facto head of the sprawling Wynchester clan, a family of good-doers who are following in the footsteps of their recently deceased adoptive father, Baron Vanderbean. Graham’s siblings love to tease him for his obsession with royalty, so no one is surprised when he uses his network of London informants to figure out that an escaped … Continue reading Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley

Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E5: Radar

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

So last week chicken-poo guy, Logan, was starting some shit by deciding he’d rather be with Gabby than Rachel. Rachel’s already been rejected a whole bunch and is fragile. Also they’re all sailing around Europe on an empty cruise ship because…reasons? I told Pudding it was time to watch The Bachelorette and this was her face. Also joining us is Radar, our newest foster baby. He’s 1.5lbs of absolute chaos and will be here until he’s … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E5: Radar

Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 23

I work at a bookstore and give professional book recs through Book Riot’s TBR subscription. I personally love playing book matchmaker, and I love it when people give me recs as well! Get any good recommendations lately? Tell … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 23

Kickass Women in History: The Valiant Ladies of Potosí

This month’s Kickass Women takes us to the silver boom town of Potosí, located in what is now Bolivia, in the 1600s. This city was riddled by crime, but two teenage girls, Ana Lezama de Urinza and Eustaquia de Sonza, took it on the task of cleaning it up. At the time, Potosí was adjacent to a massive silver mining operation owned and run by the Spanish colonizers. Most of the silver was sent by … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: The Valiant Ladies of Potosí

Whatcha Reading? August 2022, Part One

Beautiful English style garden with comfortable hammock on sunny day

It’s that time of the month! No, not that time. Whatcha Reading time! Sarah: I’m currently reading Thank you For Listening by Julia Whelan – and I’m doing an interview with her for the podcast, too! Shana: I’m reading The Servant and the Gentleman by Annabelle Greene. It’s a good reminder of why I like to give new-to-me authors a second chance. Because I hated the first book in the series and I love this one. Claudia: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2022, Part One
