The Heated Rivalry Hardcover is…Something

It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book

Cover Snark: Tara’s Got Zingers

Illegal Touching by Tawdra Kandle. A shirtless man is crossing his arms. The title font is in red neon, followed by an EKG register and a football helmet in a heart. What.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Carole: My immediate impression was that this was a Dental Office stock photo – snort, it did not immediately say: cowboy romance… Sarah: “Ask Dr. Decker about payment plans for your Invisalign!” Susan: Pretty sure that Decker cover wants to sell me life insurance Maya: Or like some poster at a planned parenthood encouraging couples to get std tests Amanda: Or it could be one of those photos that … Continue reading Cover Snark: Tara’s Got Zingers

Get Rec’d With Amanda! – Volume 3

Welcome back to Get Rec’d, with me, your lovely host, Amanda! I give a lot of book recommendations outside of SBTB, as I have a couple other book-related jobs.

The Rec League: Heroine Wins in Rivalry Romances

The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old book

Links: Blue, Barbies, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m currently in Austin, Texas for the next week. State government aside and everything that comes with it, I really love this place and briefly considered moving here. That may still be on the table and I believe this is my fourth time visiting. Oddly, a lot of my friends throughout life have ended up here – childhood neighbors, high school friends, grad school BFFs, and I’m reuniting with a … Continue reading Links: Blue, Barbies, & More
