I really enjoyed Laziness Does Not Exist as a “grind/productivity culture is a big pile of garbage” manifesto, and I also really like Dr. Price’s writing. I didn’t think I was the audience for this book, which is about the masking Autistic people do to conform with neurotypical expectations, and is written by an Autistic person for fellow Autistic people. Whoodamn, I was wrong about that. This is a thoughtful, compelling, and detailed look at … Continue reading Unmasking Autism: The Power of Embracing Our Hidden Neurodiversity by Devon Price →

If you’re new to Hide Your Wallet, this is where we list new releases we’re pretty excited for in the coming month.

The second HYW will cover books released from the 15th to the end of the month. We also think this … Continue reading July 2022 New Releases, Part Two →
Danielle Jackson’s new book, The Accidental Pinup, is out now, and I bet you’ve seen the cover in many, many places. It’s terrific. Danielle and I chat about her book, what happened when she saw the cover, and about every professional role she’s had within publishing. She’s been a publicist – she was my publicist for one of my books! She’s also a bookseller, and now she’s an author. So her perspective on the book … Continue reading 519.

Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai is $2.99! Maya wrote a great review for this one and gave it a B-:
If you can handle some angst, some systemic oppression, and a distinct lack of totally justified vengeance, check out this slow burn romance between two damaged, but kind people of color who desire only each other and the safety of anonymity.

This season of The Bachelorette we have two Bachelorettes at the same time, Gabby and Rachel. I have no idea how the logistics of this work. Do they trade dudes from their respective pools? Do they fight them like Pokemon? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be ridiculous. Also we might be filming at a new McMansion. IDK. It’s possible that one building can only be saturated with so much of the Rose God’s dark … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E1: Two Bachelorettes →
This Rec League comes from frequent commenter DiscoDollyDeb: I’m looking for contemporary romances with what I call the “Ooops—we’re still married” situation. A couple marry spontaneously/impulsively, usually as a result of one of the following: a whirlwind courtship/knowing each other very briefly, as part of a fake relationship, and/or after a crazy night in Vegas. Very soon after the marriage, they think they’ve made a mistake, agree to a divorce/annulment, and go their separate ways. … Continue reading The Rec League: Oops…We’re Still Married →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I loved hearing about the video games you’re all playing! I beat the storyline of Super Mario Odyssey over the weekend. Now I’ll just be collecting hundreds upon hundreds of moons! I have plans to go to the Cape with my partner this weekend and I hope I can turn my brain off for a few days and just nap in the sun. The heat is a constant, though, I know it’ll … Continue reading Links: Library Stuff and Romance Events →
