Grab your TBRs and get ready for Summer Solstice on June 21!
Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco is $2.99! This is book two in the Prince of Sin series. I loved book one and excitedly preordered this one. These are erotic fantasy romances and I’ll say I liked this one slightly less than book one. Still a fun time though! Book three is out soon and I’ve preordered that one as well.
Welcome back to Cover Awe! How to Summon a Fairy Godmother by Laura J. Mayo Cover illustration by Zoë van Dijk Amanda: Oh I love that! Sarah: Very art nouveau! Like a sharper Maxfield Parrish image. Lara: That’s gorgeous! Elyse: I support this trend. This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska Cover illustration by Andie Lugtu Elyse: I love the art nouveau vibe. Tara: I just did a little gasp when I saw it. Sarah: I … Continue reading Cover Awe: Art Nouveau
In today’s Get Rec’d post, we featured Stars Die by Jenny Schwartz, which is part of a series that many readers, including folks in our community, enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, we were alerted in the comments that the cover is AI-generated. I downloaded the cover and ran it through several different scanners. The result: +98% likely it was AI-generated. The cover art is credited to Canva, which offers generative AI to users. I really dislike generative … Continue reading A Short Comment About Generative AI

The Deathless One by Emma Hamm is $1.99! This came out in August and I mentioned it in Hide Your Wallet. I think I preordered this one. Did any of you pick this one up?
Happy New Year! This week we are talking with Katie, Kate, and Adam – we’ve got book recs, wishes, spreadsheet discussions, dungeons, and some wishes that don’t violate the Hatch Act. There’s also rather appalling poo adventure immediately after my first interview. Pew pew! Thanks to your Patreon pledges, we have reached our goal with the F’ICE campaign, and all dynamic ads are now turned off permanently for everyone who listens. Thank you so much! … Continue reading 699. Holiday Wishes VII with Katie, Kate and Adam
Come Together by Emily Nagoski is $1.99 and is a KDD! I believe this is Nagoski’s latest non-fiction. Her books have been highly recommended on the site and she’s been on the podcast a couple times.
Happy New Year, Y’all! It’s sharing time! Over the past few years, we’ve shared different versions of this Reading Tracking Spreadsheet and each year it’s been improved upon – and is used by more readers around the world. That’s so cool. I’ve received so many email messages and requests for more options from readers who absolutely adore it. The great thing about this spreadsheet is that it’s so very easy to customize – especially now. … Continue reading Track Your 2026 TBR With Our Community-Built Reading Tracker Spreadsheet!

My friend introduced me to Vintage Dusties. The account revives … Continue reading Links: Fashion, Nail Polish, & More
