Welcome back to Links! Apologies for no Links last week. Like many, I was not doing too well Wednesday morning and promptly texted Sarah, “Oh shit. I forgot to schedule a Links post.” But I am back! Perhaps not too much better than I was a week ago, but baby steps. The unpacking has kept me distracted and I am eager for the Thanksgiving break to full cozy up in front of our fireplace with … Continue reading Links: Ghostwriters, Free eBooks, & More→
Bridgerton Collection: Volume 1 by Julia Quinn is $1.99! You get three full-length historical romances and these collections, when not on sale, are priced at $19.99. Not a bad deal!
This HaBO is from Krysty, who wants to find this romance: Hi, I stumbled upon your website yesterday hoping someone will help me find this book. It’s been in my head for over 10 years and I’m beginning to forget. So the book is about a heroine – Marianne or Mary – can’t quite remember, falls in love with a brooding, standoffish hero with a scarred face who stays in the dark in a big … Continue reading HaBO: Yet Another Scarred Hero, Virgin Heroine→
The Deep End by Kristen Ashley is $1.99! This is the first book in the Honey series and features an alpha hero who happens to be a submissive in the bedroom. Hello! Some readers felt the writing was too “flowery” for a typical Kristen Ashley romance. If you’ve read this, tell me what you thought!
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Mabry: This guy is suffering from sliding bicep syndrome, plus his forearm seems to be stolen from a 7 foot tall basketball player. And then there’s the nipple that’s trying to leave the scene altogether. He also looks like one of the Property Brothers. Sarah: Ok the proportions and perspective here are really weird to the point I feel like I should give everyone a warning. Like, uncanny valley … Continue reading Cover Snark: Yet Another Terrible Wolf Placement→

Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Half of today’s books were recommend to me by colleagues and friends, and I wanted to pass them along to you. I think that’s what I love so much about having a personal bookish community, especially one where everyone has their niches. What book recommendations have you received recently? Do you also have your own wonderful bookish circles in your personal life?
Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! This is where we talk about what we’ve been reading, if you couldn’t have guessed. Lara: Still Murderbot and I could not be more happy about it! May it last forever! Sarah: I mentioned this in the post for Election Day but I saved three Richard Osman books and didn’t know what I was saving them for. Now I know! I think I’m starting with the new one We Solve … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2024, Part One→
Always Remember by Mary Balogh is $2.99! This is book three in the Ravenswood historical romance series. Balogh’s romances are usually highly recommended and I feel on the gentler side.
I believe that reading books and collecting books are two separate yet equally worthy hobbies, just like buying yarn and knitting. Due to social media, and people’s desire to share their love of books (read or unread) there have been several subscription services lately that offer beautiful editions of popular books. I subscribe to Illumicrate, and I really enjoy it. There is a UK and US version of Illumicrate, and also two subscription options. The … Continue reading Illumicrate Book Subscription→
