I’ve been delayed in my recaps because I’ve been traveling for work and haven’t been home in a week and a half. Pudding: You were gone? Oh. I didn’t notice. I did get Pudding a stuffed seal on my adventures though. Last time, two new suitors were introduced, Dr. Hatem and Mr. Judge. Dr. Hatem is an emergency room doctor from Ireland, and Mr. Judge is a wrestling coach from Michigan. Everyone heads to … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E4: New Suitors →
CW/TW: This is a horror movie about cannibalism and terrible dates. So be ye warned. We are recapping The Whole Meal Film here so get ready. Maya and I share an interest in horror, and goodness knows the Pink Palace of Bitches is full of people with an interest in Sebastian Stan. Accordingly, we took a break from romance (this movie is NOT A ROMANCE!) and watched a movie that says that dating is Hell, … Continue reading Movie Review: Fresh →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This could expire ASAP. Simply put, GET THIS BOOK. Sarah completely loved it:
First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a reader (and why else would you be here, right?) this book is a marvelous, intelligent, respectful, breathtaking treat for your brain.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Kristin, who is hoping to find this historical romance: This book was a historical romance/romantic comedy. The hero helps the heroine escape from her own wedding. At the beginning he is running after her in a field or a garden; I think maybe he wants to bring her back to the wedding but she convinces him otherwise. They go on a journey by carriage and boat, etc. At one point they … Continue reading HaBO: Road Trip Historical with Dog Rescue →
I picked up The No-Show because based on the blurb, I thought this would be some sort of feminist revenge fantasy. Said blurb: Three women who seemingly have nothing in common find that they’re involved with the same man in this smart new rom-com by Beth O’Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare. Sadly this does not end in a sisterhood pact over this man’s grave. Despite my wrong assumptions, I hoovered up this book in … Continue reading The No-Show by Beth O’Leary →
RECOMMENDED: Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. Elyse & I really enjoyed this horror/sci-fi novel. We jointly reviewed the book and ultimately decided on a B. We loved the cast of characters, but found the ending anticlimactic.

It’s that time again! Cover Snark time! Amanda: Everyone, I have some great personal news! Tara: That little voice in my head just shouted “NO. WHAT?! NO.” Maya: Girl, get it!! Look at that plumage!!!! Elyse: He better do a special dance when he wants to bone. Lots of head bobbing Amanda: Why can’t you be happy for us, Tara? Tara: I will only accept it if it meets Elyse’s conditions. Amanda: No, the only … Continue reading Cover Snark: We’re Registered at Crate & Barrel →
RECOMMENDED: The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Carrie gave this historical mystery a B+.
I loved this book. It kept me in suspense and when it was over I wanted to read it again. It sent me down many Google rabbit holes, which is my favorite kind of book. I recommend this for people who aren’t averse to ambiguity, who like stories of adventure and exploration as well as intersectional examinations of women’s lives, and to people who like mystery/thrillers.

Get Rec’d sneaks up on me sometimes! Welcome back! If you’re new to this feature, hi! Hello! This is where I pull from several recommendations I’ve made at my other book-related jobs for particular readers. Some are previous staff picks or books that I’ve hand-sold at the bookstore. Get any good recommendations lately? Let me know below!
It’s that time again! We want to hear all about what you’re reading! Susan: I’m reading Roslyn Sinclair’s Truth and Measure and I am incredibly resentful of every commitment I have that keeps me from reading more. The ice queen just woke her assistant up at 5am to talk about their (totally hidden, super platonic) feelings, and my bosses expect to do my job instead of screeching about that?! Tara: Susan, it’s soooooo freaking good … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2022, Part One →
