RECOMMENDED: Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. Catherine wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it a B+:
I enjoyed this story a lot. It contains many of the elements that feel like a traditional Western to me – scenes of blizzards and horse-breaking, confrontations in the local saloon, slick shysters from out East come to take advantage of the locals – but the central characters buck the stereotypes in numerous ways.

It’s time for the finale of this season of The Bachelorette, and the next season of The Bachelor starts 1/3. ABC is not giving me a break this year. I’ve slammed a cold brew, taken two Ibuprofen, and Pudding and I are cuddled under our softest blankies and ready to do this. Pudding is the only cat I’ve had who wants to be tucked in and it’s adorable. So we open with Michelle’s parents and sister arriving … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S18 E10: Finale and After the Final Rose
Christmas is over and let’s all take a restful week before the new year. Is it just me or does this weird post-Christmas, pre-New Year time always feel a little bizarre? Here are a few titles I’ve recommended quite a bit in the lead up to the holidays. I honestly love it when people come into the bookstore and need recommendations for their loved ones. It’s a mix of matchmaking and a scavenger hunt. Which … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 8!
