It’s October! My favorite month! I love the cooler temperatures in New England, the changing leaves, and breaking out my fall wardrobe, which I look much cuter in than my summer attire. It’s hard to make boob sweat fashionable. We hope your reading selections have been bountiful and squee-worthy! If not, you’re always welcome to kvetch in the comments. Shana: I’m reading Office Hours by Katrina Jackson and it is fulfilling all my Hot Professor … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2021, Part One →
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones is $5.99! This is a little more expensive than our deals but seeing as how this book released slightly over a month ago and the library holds are probably pretty long, this could fit within a reader’s budget.

This Rec League comes from the comments in our latest Hide Your Wallet. Thanks to Merle for inspiring this one: I’m very wary of “man & woman compete for something and also fall in love” plots, because all the ones I’ve read end up with the man getting the prize and the woman getting the man. Because apparently only a man needs a job, a promotion, etcetera– a woman needs nothing but Mr. Right. If … Continue reading The Rec League: Heroine Wins in Rivalry Romances →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m currently in Austin, Texas for the next week. State government aside and everything that comes with it, I really love this place and briefly considered moving here. That may still be on the table and I believe this is my fourth time visiting. Oddly, a lot of my friends throughout life have ended up here – childhood neighbors, high school friends, grad school BFFs, and I’m reuniting with a … Continue reading Links: Blue, Barbies, & More →

When I read A Spindle Splintered, I had completely forgotten what it was about. I tore through the whole novella in one night and was blown away. And while I know you’re here to hear all about it, this is one of those few times when I want you to trust me and read this book without knowing anything else because that was a big part of the magic for me. In case I’ve persuaded … Continue reading A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow →
Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow is $1.99! This one was published by Amazon, so it’s only available there. On Goodreads, there does seem to be some confusion on whether this falls into adult romance or young adult. Others say it splits the different at new adult.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO request is from Susan, who wants to find this historical romance: I’m looking for a historical romance I read in the last four years. I’m guessing it was written in the early 2000’s. The book begins with the heroine at the church waiting to get married. The groom doesn’t show. The twist is the bride knows the groom won’t show up. Because he’s run off to Scotland or someplace with his true love … Continue reading HaBO: Bride Already Knows Groom Won’t Show Up →
