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-:

We cover how HelenKay discovered romance, and how her career has evolved … Continue reading 665. RT Rewind – February 2015 Reviews

Book Review
Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
I absolutely devoured the first two books in this trilogy. I loved the highly original premise and found both stories beyond charming. The third is more of the same, but not quite to the same heights as the first two. 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
