RECOMMENDED: Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn is $1.99! This book and series has been mentioned quite a bit on the site. Elyse recommended it if you like historical mysteries. Reader StacieH4 mentioned it for those who prefer their romance light on sex, and Reader Tina Chaney said on a podcast that the book has one of her favorite opening lines. Have you read it?
It is deeply rare that all four of the humans who reside in my home enjoy the same piece of entertainment. I think the last time this happened, we were watching Good Omens. Thunder Force is nothing like Good Omens except that all four of us had a terrific time watching it, and I was as immensely pleased with myself for selecting it for our Friday night pizza and a movie. It is ideal “watch … Continue reading Netflix Rec: Thunder Force
Uzma Jalaluddin joins Amanda and me to talk about Hana Khan Carries On, which caused one of us some Bad Decisions Book Club membership. We discuss the book (no spoilers, don’t worry!) and the fabulous podcasting heroine, Hana, who’s got a You’ve Got Mail kind of relationship with the owner of a rival Halal restaurant. We cover representation, gorgeous cover art, and writing about characters finding and using their voices. It’s so much fun – … Continue reading 453.

RECOMMENDED: The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister is $1.99! Carrie gave this historical mystery a B+. It’s also a KDD!
I loved this book. It kept me in suspense and when it was over I wanted to read it again. It sent me down many Google rabbit holes, which is my favorite kind of book. I recommend this for people who aren’t averse to ambiguity, who like stories of adventure and exploration as well as intersectional examinations of women’s lives, and to people who like mystery/thrillers.
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! How have you all been? The last couple weeks have been an absolute blur. Not sure why. The weather has been stupidly nice here and, so far, not an allergy to be had. Fingers crossed they’ve flown the coop for good! Let’s get ready for links! … I know we’ve talked about The Nanny and fashion before in Wednesday Links, which is why I went nuts for this interview with the show’s … Continue reading Links: The Nanny, Britney Spears, & More
RECOMMENDED: Buns by Alice Clayton is $1.99! This is the third and final book in the Hudson Valley series. I love this trilogy so much and while this one isn’t my favorite of the three, they’re all quite good. It also works find on its own. I have my fingers crossed Clayton will come back to romance some day!
This request comes from Juhi, from the comments to my recent recommendation of Midnight Diner on Netflix: Would you please do an open thread asking for comforting shows on Netflix/Hulu? I would love to get more recs along GBBO, The Babysitter’a Club lines, shows that feel comforting and fill me with so many good feelings! We sure can! Strap in, because, whew, do we have recs for you. Sarah: Crass, funny, but good feelings all … Continue reading The Rec League: Comfort Shows on Netflix or Hulu?
The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox is $1.99! Elyse has been a huge fan of Fox’s Gothic fiction and this one was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. Be warned, though, as Fox’s books can get rather dark. I know the first one had some triggers, so be sure to use the search function for Goodreads reviews to find a list.
