RECOMMENDED: The Lion’s Den by Katherine St. John is $4.99! Elyse wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A. Definitely check out her review for a list of triggers to be aware of.
This book is really two mysteries in one, and when they collide it’s a wonderful “ah-ha” moment. I wish I could say more than that, but I don’t want to ruin a single thing for another reader.

RECOMMENDED: Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson is $2.99! Shana and Carrie jointly reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This is a character-focused book and is all about the romance between Jesse and Kerry, as well as the importance of family, friendship, and community. Also there’s a lot of knitting.
Testing Some Image Weirdness in our Feed
Howdy y’all! I’ve noticed that images in posts are showing up in the RSS feed email as duplicates, which is weird. And often the most effective way for me to test a potential bug is to attempt to create it on purpose. I’m not sure what’s going on, so I’m writing up some words (like these!) and then dropping in random images. Still and animated! Big Fun! Here’s Wilbur sitting on my latest quilt project, … Continue reading Testing Some Image Weirdness in our Feed

512. Secret Clubs and Exclusive Spaces with Laura Hankin
Laura Hankin is the author of Happy And You Know It, A Special Place for Women, and the upcoming book The Daydreams. The paperback of A Special Place for Women is out on May 24th, and as I learned is being adapted for film, too! We talk about the book-to-film adaptation process, and then we take a deep dive into secret societies, exclusive clubs, and how they work (or don’t). We also take a side … Continue reading 512.

Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen is $1.99! This is the first book in the Steampunk Proper Romance series and, as the name suggests, it has Beauty and the Beast vibes. Some readers felt there were 10 pounds of extra stuff shoved into a 5 pound book. However, there’s one review on Goodreads where the reader admits sitting in her car in a parking lot just so she can finish the book.
Vacation Knitting
Summer is almost upon us (well, it is where I live), which is when a lot of people around here take vacations. I love spending summer hanging with my sister and her family at her campsite, taking day trips to Door County (the “thumb” of WI–think orchards, wineries, state parks, beaches, and cozy little main streets with boutique shops), and this year my husband and I are going to FL for a week to sit … Continue reading Vacation Knitting
Links: Horses, Self-Care, & More
It’s Wednesday! The week is half over! Firstly, let me thank everyone for the “staying cool” suggestions in the last links. Super helpful and it seems like you all enjoyed the tips and tricks as well. I had a lovely day walking around a vintage market and then quickly relaxing in some shade with a beer and empanadas. It’s also Memorial Day weekend in the States. Do any of you have plans for the long … Continue reading Links: Horses, Self-Care, & More

RECOMMENDED: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99! This is book two of the Gamblers of Craven’s series and is a lot of readers’ favorites on account of the hero, Derek Craven. However, some felt the heroine lacked the depth that the hero received. After seeing all the love for this book on Twitter, I read it and I totally understand.
