SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
To Woo a Wicked Widow by Jenna Jaxon is 99c! This is the first book in The Widows’ Club and some of the subsequent books are also 99c. This has a heroine who is trying to avoid getting married again. Readers seemed divided on the heroine. Some enjoyed her independence, while others couldn’t really connect with her.
It’s Monday! You deserve some Cover Snark! From Carole: Not sure if someone else caught this one – just sooo bad. Sarah: Also the gentleman delivering gifts needs to (a) CLOTHE the NEWBORNS and (b) possibly put on his own pants. Tara: What was he holding in the original photo? Kiki: if a man gives me twins as a Christmas gift I’m going to be GREATLY displeased. Catherine: He’s going to drop that baby right … Continue reading Cover Snark: Tiger & Chad’s First Date
Knitting has brought me a lot of peace and relaxation over the past year, and even when I’ve been too sore with fibro to knit, I’ve enjoyed adding to my ever expanding pattern collection. One of my favorite things is to combine interests, which for me, often means knitting and nerdery (or fandom patterns). In this post I’m going to share some of my favorite fandom related knitting patterns. Please share yours in the comments … Continue reading Knitting the Fandom
RECOMMENDED: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is $4.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and a little pricier than what we feature, but it’s worth the $5! Carrie gave it a B+:
I’m glad to have a book like this to read when it’s just all too much. Like Linus, who was slowly charmed by the world he entered, I loved this story so much that I did not want to leave when it ended.
By request, it’s another “Hayadoin” post! First, back when I lived in New Jersey, there were many novelty songs about the 1999/2000 Yankees, including “Haya Doin,” composed and performed by Joseph “Joey Balls” Summa and Carmine “Carmanooch” Famiglietti. As I’m typing this, on repeat in my silly, tired brain is, “Bitches, hayadoin? Ha-ha-ya doin?” If this earworm is at all familiar to you, I apologize for resurrecting it. So, anyways, hayadoin? What are you looking … Continue reading What Are You Looking Forward To This Month?
Second Chance on Cypress Lane by Reese Ryan is $1.99! Sarah had Reese on the podcast recently and notes that this book contains lots of food porn and jazz porn. Have you read this one?
I’m joined by Morgan and Isabeau from the Whoa!Mance podcast! They are celebrating three years of podcasting, and their latest exploration of romance has been to look at category romances. I thought it would be fun to take a deep dive into a brand new contemporary romance, so we all read Awakened by the CEO’s Kiss by Therese Baharrie. This episode is a low-spoiler discussion of the book, and of all the interesting and subversive … Continue reading 469. Awakened by the CEO’s Kiss, with Morgan and Isabeau from Whoa!Mance
A Good Duke is Hard to Find by Christina Britton is $1.99! This is the first book in the Isle of Synne series and I’m sure it’s pronounced “sin” but my mind went to “sine” and I, for one, will avoid an island of calculus. No thank you!

I’m usually pretty neutral about it, but my roommate has been staying up or waking up at ungodly hours to watch certain events. Do you have a favorite? … Want to know what’s next for Bridgertons‘ Regé-Jean Page?
