Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
We talk about a lot of things here at the Pink Palace, but have we talked in-depth about stamps? That noise you just heard was Amanda sitting up to text me exactly what dates and times we have discussed stamps. I know we’ve mentioned them, but I got a USPS Philatelic catalog in the mail (is this something that just happens as you age? You get AARP invitations and philatelic catalogs? Not a complaint, btw) … Continue reading Smart Bitches Love Stamps
RECOMMENDED: A Week to Be Wicked by Tessa Dare is 99c! This is the second book in the Spindle Cove series and I absolutely love it. It might be my favorite Dare, but I think I need to read this one and When a Scot Ties the Knot back to back to make a full assessment. Carrie gave this book an A-:
If you are also a person who perks up at the sound of the word “Tessellation” or who longs to travel through Britain with a viscount and a dinosaur foot, then check this book out right away.
We are traveling back to February 2015 to take a look at the new releases in RT magazine, and my guest is the cover author, HelenKay Dimon, who also writes thrillers as Darby Kane. This was VERY fun because HelenKay is an author, so she has a different perspective on the magazine, the convention, the reviews, and the way different genres have changed. We cover how HelenKay discovered romance, and how her career has evolved … Continue reading 665. RT Rewind – February 2015 Reviews
Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke is $2.99! This is book one in a series that started in Summer 2023. Book two in the series came out last summer. The heroine is a bookshop owner and this has some Pygmalion vibes.

I would recommend avoiding this review if you haven’t read the prior two in the trilogy because it’ll be filled with spoilers. For more about Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, you can read this guest … Continue reading Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
This Rec League was sent in from Cassidy: I’m looking for a book recommendation (recommendations if I’m being honest) for a book with a reverse grumpy x sunshine relationship. As much as I appreciate the brooding, cold, grumpy hero, I prefer romance where it’s the woman who is the grumpy or closed off one while the guy is social, pleasant to be around, funny, and an overall ball of sunshine/ a golden retriever—but books with … Continue reading The Rec League: Grumpy/Sunshine with Grumpy Heroines
Welcome back! I’m sad to announce that the allergies have started! My partner had the bedroom windows open all day yesterday and my sinuses pretty much exploded when I got home. I empathize with everyone else in the same boat. May your tissues be soft and your Benadryl naps be pleasant. We’ve also started vacation planning for the end of the year. It’ll be really nice having something to look forward to! Do you have … Continue reading Links: Quails, Reality TV, & More
