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

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Time for a little check-in. How are we doing? I’m certainly spending more time with my partner. We had a lovely afternoon of gaming last weekend. We took turns doing runs of Slay the Spire; whoever wasn’t playing would be working on their laptop or reading. I’m eying the new Split Fiction game, because I really liked It Takes Two. Have any of you picked it up yet? I’m also in a cozy game … Continue reading Links: Faerie Smut, Cats, & More

Books on Sale: At First Spite by Olivia Dade & More

RECOMMENDED: At First Spite by Olivia Dade is $1.99! Lara gave this a B+:

If you’re looking for a book of sparkle and light, then this is not the book for you. It’s heavy going emotionally, but so well-written that I could not put it down. My normal routine went out the window because I NEEDED to know how things would unfold. The cast of supporting characters are sincerely charming and I do look forward to the next book in the series.

Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S29 E6: It’s Woosta

Elyse Watches The Bachelor with Kraken Rum and Coke

My husband, Rich, is rightfully annoyed with me. He just got done watching the opening of Daredevil: Born Again, which is this insane one-cut fight scene and I had to tell him we were switching over to The Bachelor. I am a cruel woman indeed. Also, Muzzy says “How YOU doin’?” We start in Newton, MA with a ubiquitous Dropkick Murphys song playing over some arial shots. Juliana is waiting for him and tells him … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S29 E6: It’s Woosta

HaBO: Mating Bond Lets Her Sense Auras

This HaBO is from Kimberly, who wants to find this paranormal romance: The book was a romance where the heroine was blind and the hero was a werewolf. The meet cute involved a car crash or an almost car crash. I think maybe she had a service dog and he saved her or saved the service dog. I think she was also a teacher. There was definitely a subplot involving a troubled male student that … Continue reading HaBO: Mating Bond Lets Her Sense Auras

Cover Snark: Oh Hey, Katy Perry!

The Cat Lady's Secret by Linda W. Yezak. Half of a woman from the shoulders up takes up most of the cover. She has dark hair pulled up with pink, think-rimmed glasses and pink lips. Her finger is at her mouth and she's looking up in a thinking motion. Over her right shoulder is a smaller image of a older woman in a big red sunhat carrying a cat in a big red purse.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! Sarah: This is both neat and also awkwardly posed? Kiki: I love the idea of this cover, but it is just so obvious that these two people are not organically in the same photo They’re looking beyond each other? Sarah: They’re touching but don’t seem to be connected. Tara: It’s giving more “Okay, okay. Don’t look, but did you see that person? I said don’t look! Her dress is TERRIBLE.” … Continue reading Cover Snark: Oh Hey, Katy Perry!
