CW/TW: abortion consideration and discussion, toxic family, discussion of miscarriage, pre-eclampsia Tara: I mentioned this book in a recent Whatcha Reading post with the comment “I’m only a third of the way through, but if you like the idea of an f/f romance with fat rep, knitting, friends with benefits, and a truly nonjudgemental dive into abortion vs opting to complete a pregnancy, this is the book for you!” And guess what?! Carrie was into … Continue reading Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl by Hettie Bell →
RECOMMENDED: The Lord I Left by Scarlett Peckham is 99c! Thanks for everyone who let us know about this sale. I believe it’s best to read this series in order, rather than as standalones. Claudia gave this one a B+:
There was a lot to like and enjoy: plenty of funny and tender moments, thoughtful discussions, and some of my favorite setups in romance, including an “one room at the inn” scenario.

RECOMMENDED: Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid is $2.99! Catherine gave this a Squee review, though the comments definitely brought up some ethics issues.
Really, if you like sweet, sexy heroes who are completely supportive of their heroines, and if you like smart, ambitious heroines who are really good at what they do, and if you love libraries and teasing and friends and kindness, not to mention innuendo that manages to be both silly and seductive at the same time, then you will love this.

This week I am joined by Shani and Bridget from the Romance at a Glance podcast! We talk about their current season, where they’re focusing on dark romances, and about podcasting. Then, we talk about a book. For this episode, we all read Draekon Mate: Exiled to the Prison Planet. Check this blurb: “Crashed spaceship. Prison planet. Snarling, lethal predators. Two big, hulking, bronzed aliens who turn into dragons. The best part? The dragons insist … Continue reading 450. Dragons on the Sex Planet with Shani and Bridget from Romance at a Glance →

As you may have heard when I mentioned it forty-zillion times, 2020 was My Year of Murderbot. I read and re-read the series, I listened to the audiobooks, and I noodled around fanart and fanfic collections. As I said to Martha Wells in our podcast conversation, Murderbot was my Sanctuary Moon. In pursuit of That Murderbot Feeling (e.g. This character gets it. Let’s hang out some more as I escape into this world alongside this … Continue reading If You Liked Murderbot, You Might Like the Raksura, Too →
It’s Wednesday again! Who let that happen? My first dose happened last Thursday and my side effects were minimal, though I heard the second shot is where the side effects get you. I hope this is a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel. March is ending and April is upon us and that means a few holidays, namely Easter and Passover. We hope you all find ways to celebrate safely! … … Continue reading Links: Skype, Cereal Drama, & More →
