The second HYW will cover books released from the 15th to the end of the month. We also think this … Continue reading October 2021 New Releases, Part Two→
It’s time! It’s time! This is the first of the Sweet Dreams Romance Recap Project, wherein I am recapping the first twenty Sweet Dreams YA romances, starting with Sweet Dreams #1, P.S. I Love You by Barbara Conklin. This book is a lot. It’s angsty and tragic, but there are some moments I remember so very clearly, and I probably read this more than 30 years ago. This was definitely one of my gateway books. What … Continue reading 479. Sweet Dreams Recap: PS I Love You by Barbara Conklin→
Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder is $1.99! This is book one in Third Shift series, which is a paranormal romance. Super curious about this one. I thought we had featured this previously on sale, but maybe it was all a fever dream.
I know many of you have subscriptions to services like Scribd, Kindle Unlimited, or the super-sexy Canadians Only Kobo Plus. Library folks may also be using Hoopla Digital to access ebooks and audiobooks – and the Library Extension browser add-on allows folks browsing Amazon to see what books are available at their library, or via library subscriptions like Hoopla. (I use this extension constantly and I love it.) That unlimited reading option is delightful, isn’t … Continue reading What are Your Favorite Recent Discoveries in Subscription Services?→
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→
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?
