HaBO: Anthology with Antique Bed Theme

This HaBO is from Brittani, who wants to find this collection of short stories: I read this when I was in high school (like 2004-2008). It’s a spicy series of short stories by female authors that all included an antique bed. They all took place in different eras. I remember one story involved a knight coming home after war to his “wife” who planned to kill him. Instead. they fell in love. The last one … Continue reading HaBO: Anthology with Antique Bed Theme

Hide Your Wallet: November 26th Release Week!

Welcome back! A super light week for releases we’re excited for, as we kick off Thanksgiving in the United States. December is also looking just as quiet.

Cover Snark: A Possible Bathroom Emergency

One is Never Enough by Kali Noir. A very red cover. There's just a headless and shirtless man, but he's positioned upside down, as if he's lying on his back and lifting his hips up at an angle. He appears to be struggling to pull his pants off.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Jen: Maybe it’s me but this head does not look natural on this body. Sarah: Definitely not the head that body came with. Also, is that the dude from Downton Abbey? Elyse: Looks like Sebastian Stan to me. Maya: It looks like BBL Spaceman had one too many surgeries. … I think we need some input from all of you!     Sneezy: Why is his left hand in … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Possible Bathroom Emergency

Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 78

Hello hello! We’re in the holiday season and as a bookseller, my brain always goes to titles that would make for a great gift. I do miss playing matchmaker in a more face to face setting, but the holiday season in retail is also VERY STRESSFUL. I have two fun non-fiction titles (that have gift book potential), plus a collection of essays and a romantasy release that I think missed its window. What great recommendations … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 78

Whatcha Reading? November 2024, Part Two

The woman in yellow coat jeans and boots sitting under the maple tree with a red book and cup of coffee or tea in fall city park on a warm day. Autumn golden leaves. Reading concept. Close up.

Here’s how we’re wrapping up our reading this November: Elyse: I’m reading Christmas Eve Love Story by Ginny Baird. It’s a holiday romance where the heroine keeps reliving Christmas Eve over again ala Groundhog’s Day. She also has a senior cat she’s fostering so I love her character Sarah: I am re-reading Call of Crows, and I’m very happy about it. I also started with my favorite, book 2. Yes I am a monster. Shana: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2024, Part Two
