Books on Sale: Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston & More

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston is $1.99! This is the first book in the Honey Badger ChroniclesSarah read this one and gave it a B grade:

Among my favorite things about Laurenston’s writing is how very affirming and inspiring and a whole lot of fun it is, because angry, fearless women make room for themselves, they get shit done, and they’re the heroines. More honey badgers, please.

447. Hanging Out with Sarah J. Maas

Sometimes I’m fortunate enough to do an interview with an author I’ve never met, but with whom there’s an instant connection. That happened for Amanda and me last year when we interviewed Sarah J. Maas in Episode 395.. And now, Sarah J. Mass is back, nearly one year later to the date, to talk about her new book, A Court of Silver Flames, and about sexytimes, the magic romance house, rage, mental health, and re-reading … Continue reading 447.

The Rec League: Role Play

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

This Rec League well and truly stumped us, which doesn’t happen often. Thank you to Rosemary for sending this one in: What I am looking for are recommendations for books with sexy role play. When I look it up on Goodreads, it’s all Dom/Sub. What I’m looking for are couples pretending to be something they are not (cop, nurse, cheerleader, goth girl etc.). I’ve read modern novels where they play professor and student, historical novels … Continue reading The Rec League: Role Play

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

It’s March! In New England, it’s been very cold and very windy. Not a fan. However, I’m also not the biggest fan of spring given my terribly allergies. But after March comes April, and you know what that means. The SBTB April Fool’s Day surprise! We’re working on something great. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do! … I am obsessed with this “fairy tale” village in the Bay Area. Does anyone … Continue reading Links: Animal Interviews, Romance Merch, & More

Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S25 E9: Unecessary Drama

Elyse Watches The Bachelor with Kraken Rum and Coke

It’s “Women Tell All” week on The Bachelor which is basically a two hour clip show and then the women yelling over each other all while Chris Harrison absorbs the toxic energy. If you’re here for a Pudding update, Lady P is doing great and getting friendlier every day. She would still eat Chris Harrison’s face off though. We open with a montage of all the shitty stuff Queen Victoria has said which is …a lot. … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S25 E9: Unecessary Drama

Songteller: My Life in Lyrics by Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton, Songteller

When I was seven or eight years old, one of the highlights of my week was laying on the floor in my living room and watching Dolly Parton’s variety show, Dolly. I was absolutely rapt and thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, with the very best, biggest hair ever. So you can understand why the hair was such a big deal to me, here’s a promo shot of Dolly from the … Continue reading Songteller: My Life in Lyrics by Dolly Parton

Books on Sale: Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas & More

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is the third book in The Wallflowers series, though it can be read on its own. I feel like this one is a huge reader favorite. (It’s personally my second favorite in the series, but I know I’m the minority.) It has a shy heroine and a rakish hero. They obviously get an HEA and their son shows up as the hero in Devil in Spring

HaBO: Heroine Watches Hero Bathe in a River

This HaBO is from Ellie, who was inspired by a previous request to submit theirs: I’ve been thinking about submitting this book as an HABO forever, but was a little hesitant until seeing Jennifer’s Little Jizz on the Prairie request. But now that I know I’m not the only freakish person with little memory of a book other than a masturbation scene that nearly made my thirteen-year-old head explode, here goes. I would have read … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Watches Hero Bathe in a River
