SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
Hello, friends! I am back in New England! Definitely missed the fall weather and my own damn bed. Linus, my precious monster cat, acknowledged my return for all of 20 seconds. I’ll take it! I so love the food in Austin and had some of the most delicious breakfast tacos. Their food truck “courts” down there are just my kind of jam. Every time I visit, I feel like I get closer and closer to … Continue reading Links: Horror, Squid Game, & More
The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes by Xio Axelrod is $1.99! This came out in the spring and has second chance romance elements and characters involved in the music industry. This one had a lot of buzz. Did you read it?
After I finished reading The Seat Filler I had two important questions: 1. WTF did I just read and 2. Is Adam Driver ok? The Seat Filler turned out to be a self-insert RPF (real people fiction) about actor Adam Driver and it had the most ridiculous conflict ever. It had moments where it was genuinely cute, but I couldn’t get over the squickiness of the RPF angle or the fact that the conflict could easily … Continue reading The Seat Filler by Sariah Wilson
RECOMMENDED: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall is $1.99! Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
I thought this book was lovely. It had real depth. There were characters who made me angry. Sometimes those characters were truly awful people and sometimes they were good people who made mistakes (hello, Luc, you mess). Sometimes the book made me sad. Mostly, it made me swoon and laugh in equal measure – a great stress read!
This HaBO comes from Mary, who is hoping to find this historical romance: This is similar to a medieval romance or maybe later historical. Here’s what I remember: I read it earlier than 2016. I think that is about a governess, a nanny or maybe a arranged marriage, (something alone in the lines). I remember that the man is very wealthy, maybe a gentleman, or something like that. He has many children. I don’t remember … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Takes in Unwanted Children
Somedays I feel all witchy so I reach for a tarot deck. If I feel witchy and feminist, I grab Our Tarot. If I feel like burning it all down, I go to The Next World Tarot. If I want the classics, the Rider Waite Smith deck is always reliable. But if I’m having a no good, terrible, very bad day, then nothing will do but my beautiful, silly, profane and confusing deck from Arcane … Continue reading Arcane Bullshit Tarot
Awaken the Dragon by A.C. Arthur is $1.99! This is the first book in a paranormal romance that features dragons. It was also mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet. Do fall and Halloween get you in a PNR mood?
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Carole: My immediate impression was that this was a Dental Office stock photo – snort, it did not immediately say: cowboy romance… Sarah: “Ask Dr. Decker about payment plans for your Invisalign!” Susan: Pretty sure that Decker cover wants to sell me life insurance Maya: Or like some poster at a planned parenthood encouraging couples to get std tests Amanda: Or it could be one of those photos that … Continue reading Cover Snark: Tara’s Got Zingers
Tinsel and Tatas is 99c! This is a holiday rom com anthology and all of its proceeds will benefit the Young Survivor Coalition. This anthology features eighteen authors and I believe the sale was only good for this week, so it could change pretty soon!
Welcome back to Get Rec’d, with me, your lovely host, Amanda! I give a lot of book recommendations outside of SBTB, as I have a couple other book-related jobs. While I often give suggestions to readers on romance, I frequently recommend books in other genres too! Here are a few things I’ve recommended since last time! And, if you’d like to share your own recommendations that you’ve given to people in your life, or even … Continue reading Get Rec’d With Amanda! – Volume 3
Born in Fire by Nora Roberts is $2.99! This is the first book in the Irish Born series and I remember this series being a huge favorite amongst reads. Do you have a favorite Roberts series?
