If You Desire by Kresley Cole is $1.99! This is the second book in the MacCarrick Brothers trilogy about a group of Scottish brothers who think they’re cursed. This isn’t a paranormal romance like Cole’s current books.
Every now and again I’ve had to test different database settings by requesting comment threads, and in my last one, a few of you asked if these “Hayadoin” posts could be regular features. I love this idea, especially since you help form one of the most welcoming and thoughtful communities online, and I love reading what you have to say. So, hayadoin? What are you looking forward to this weekend, or this month? As for … Continue reading What Are You Looking Forward To?
Just Like That by Cole McCade is $1.99! I thought we’ve featured this on sale previously, but I have no concept of time anymore. This was a previous Hide Your Wallet pick and was Aarya’s selection. She was interested on this take of a taboo relationship. Have you read it?
Author and actor Preslaysa Williams joins me to talk about her new book, A Lowcountry Bride, which she calls “a love letter to Charleston.” We discuss the beauty and pain of complicated history, the process of writing this book over ten years, and the weirdness of seeing your younger self in animated gifs. … Music: Purple-planet.com
Fool Me Twice by Meredith Duran is $1.99! This historical romance is book two in the Rules for the Reckless series. We featured another Duran title on sale recently and the comments were filled with praise and hopes that Duran will return to writing. For fans of Duran, how did you feel about this one?
Bitchery, I struggled with this book. Not with the reading of it, so much, but with trying to parse my feelings and opinions on it, which are complicated. I was very excited about this #OwnVoices book about a trans witch bound in a magical engagement with his childhood best friend, a fae prince. And the initial chapters really drew me in. I wanted to like this so badly!!! But I ultimately kind of did not. … Continue reading The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon
We’re back with another Rec League. This request was sent in by Lisa through our Patreon, I believe: This may be more difficult but do you have any recommendations for romances with a dominant night setting? I can barely find any, but bonus points if they aren’t paranormal or ghost as I’m looking more for people who just live most of their lives at night due to their work, or naturally being night owls. A … Continue reading The Rec League: Night Owls
Welcome back! If you’re in the states, I hope you had a lovely long weekend. I went to my friend’s childhood beach. It wasn’t exactly beach weather in New England, but we still had a fun time! Windy beach walks, kite flying, and a couple rounds of a Bananagrams with Whiteclaws. Also, it’s June! … Sarah and I play Jackbox games on Twitch (though we’re taking June off!) and in a game of Fibbage, we … Continue reading Links: Cats, Movie News, & More
Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo is $2.99! This was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet and is a lovely YA historical fiction with a F/F romance. It was also a staff pick at the bookstore where I work!
Shana: When Tara showed me the blurb for an opposites-attract rom-com set in a sex toy store, I jumped on the chance to read it together. I’m glad I did, because Satisfaction Guaranteed is my first official Squee of 2021. Tara: Isn’t it the freaking cutest? This book made me laugh out loud and gave me so many happy sighs. But let’s start by telling everyone what it’s about. When Cade’s aunt Ruth dies, she … Continue reading Satisfaction Guaranteed by Karelia Stetz-Waters
