The Heated Rivalry Hardcover is…Something

It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book

Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 6!

I am already rec’d in preparation for today! By that, I mean I’m recovering from getting both my booster and flu shots yesterday. But the book recommendations shall still continue! It’s holiday season and at work, I’m getting a lot of requests like “My dad likes X, what would you suggest?” or “My teen reads Y, but I have no idea what’s new!” All of these books fall into comparison titles for genres or other … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 6!

Whatcha Reading? November 2021, Part Two

The woman in yellow coat jeans and boots sitting under the maple tree with a red book and cup of coffee or tea in fall city park on a warm day. Autumn golden leaves. Reading concept. Close up.

It’s that time again! Settle in to talk about what you’ve been reading! Lara: I just DEVOURED Cait Nary’s Season’s Change.

Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S18 E6: A Night at the Museum

Elyse Watches The Bachelorette with Kraken Rum and Coke with a big rose at the bottom

This week, we’re down to eight dudes. Whoever gets a rose this week goes on to Hometowns where Michelle meets the guy’s family. Before we get to that, Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark broke up because this show’s premise is bullshit and doesn’t work 2. Tayshia is now hosting The Bachelorette and probably doesn’t need Zac in her life for sponsorship opportunities.   Four of Michelle’s fifth grade students are joining her this week to … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S18 E6: A Night at the Museum

486. Sweet Dreams Recap: Princess Amy by Melinda Pollowitz

This is a weird one, y’all. We’re taking a trip back to the early 80s where fiction for teens and pre-teens came with some awful, upsetting messaging, but also some fantastic clothing choices, some excellent descriptions of weird children’s birthday parties, a cute boy and a very good dog. It’s Princess Amy by Melinda Pollowitz! I figured I’d probably have to issue some warnings at some point, re-reading vintage YA, so here we are. TW/CW: assault, jerkward rich … Continue reading 486.

A Match Made For Thanksgiving by Jackie Lau

A Match Made for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a bit shorted in the romance world. I suppose this is because some people think that fighting with your family, consuming your body weight in pie, and entering a food coma are not romantic activities. To them I say…what kind of pie are we talking about here? After all, one of the most romantic lines in all of literary history refers to Thanksgiving – I refer of course to Rose saying “He ate … Continue reading A Match Made For Thanksgiving by Jackie Lau
