SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
RECOMMENDED: Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles is 99c! AJ reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
Long story short, if you’re looking for a fun thriller and you don’t mind buckling up for the long-ish haul on the romance (or if you just miss used bookstores as much as I do), give it a try!
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
How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith is $2.99! This was mentioned either on Hide Your Wallet or Whatcha Reading. I believe this one is still in hardcover, so less than $3 for an ebook isn’t a bad option.
Hey all! It’s a very sleepy edition of Get Rec’d, as in I’m very sleepy while writing this list. For those who don’t know, I talk about books a lot in my daily life outside of SBTB. 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
RECOMMENDED: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is 99c at Amazon! Carrie recently reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This book was perfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA.
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
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
Love at First by Kate Clayborn is $2.99! Clayborn is an autobuy author for some of the Bitchery. Catherine gave this one a B:
Love at First is a beautiful book and worth the painful beginnings – but if you’re feeling fragile, too, maybe proceed with caution.
When I saw the half-naked men in promos for gay rom-com Fire Island, I erroneously assumed it was a reality dating show. That placed Fire Island in my mental queue just after finishing Love is Blind Brazil. Meaning moderately high, but not at the top of my To Watch list. But then Sarah told me it was actually a reinterpretation of Pride and Prejudice about a group of friends who vacation stay with their lesbian … Continue reading Movie Review: Fire Island
