Welcome back to Cover Snark! Elyse: I have zero idea what the title of this book means. Also his necklace looks like a giant paper clip. Sarah: Clippy was alive…until Bax. Elyse: Whoa that’s dark. Wearing the body of Clippy. Sarah: There was help with this document…until Bax. Elyse: In his defense, Word is the worst and the fact that it continues to be the standard is baffling. Sarah: Entirely. WordPerfect or GTFO. Sneezy: Is … Continue reading Cover Snark: Lice Check

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re closing out the month of April: Lara: I started BR Myers’ The Third Wife of Faraday House about a week ago, but I haven’t managed more than a few chapters so far. I adored a dreadful splendor so assumed I’d love this one too. I’m not quite ready to admit defeat though and will try get into it again tonight. Sarah: I have been listening to Chelsea … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2025, Part Two
A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher is $2.99! This is listed as a Kindle Daily Deal so definitely grab it today. This came out in August and we’re big fans of her books!
Alexandra Vasti is the author of Earl Crush, Ne’er Duke Well, and the Halifax sisters series, and she joins me to talk about activism in history and about haunted houses, historical lesbians, and historical erotica. A Housekeeping Note: I recorded this several months ago, and due to a bunch of file corruption and restoring backups, this episode fell out of my workflow. My apologies to Alexandra, and to you, for that mishap.

RECOMMENDED: The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister is $1.99! Carrie gave this historical mystery a B+:
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.
I’m very fond of cryptids that fall under the category of “You! Kids! Stay away from the water!” I’m talking about your La Llorenas and your kelpies, your kappas and your shellycoats. English folklore alone provides a treasure trove of water spirits that will teach your child a very important and possibly fatal lesson that he or she shall not soon forget! Think of the grindylows, or Nelly Longarms and Peggy Prowler, all of whom … Continue reading Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill
