657. RT Rewind: May 2015 Reviews!
Amanda and I have loaded the time travel machine with snacks and bubbly beverages. We’re headed back to May 2015. Some major books were released this month along with some we’re very happy to revisit. We’ve got answers to the following questions: Are there Amish Inspirational romances that have too much sex in them? How many garage freezers would a crime family need? How many stars did A Court of Thorns and Roses get? Don’t … Continue reading 657. RT Rewind: May 2015 Reviews!

The Rec League: Self-Aware Fantasy Main Characters
This Rec League came in from Liz. Thanks, Liz! I’ve been on a romantic fantasy and sci-fi marathon lately and I’m looking for some recs, please. So, you know how in many fantasy novels, particularly urban/modern fantasy, there’s a lot of MC’s that go through a culture shock, fish out of water, “ZOMG! Vampires and shifters and magic!?!” phase that’s often at the start of a series? I would like the opposite of that. I’m … Continue reading The Rec League: Self-Aware Fantasy Main Characters
Links: Cozy Fantasy Fundraising, Dancing, & More
Hey all! Are we all trying to keep our heads above water? I’m tossing out metaphorical floaties where I can! The start of the year has been unpleasant, at best. My partner and I have started doing early bedtimes so we can hang out in bed and watch a movie or catch up on a few shows. It’s been really cozy and lovely. Sometimes we make popcorn! (I usually do a cheesy batch and a … Continue reading Links: Cozy Fantasy Fundraising, Dancing, & More

Dish Course: The HEA is Really Freaking Powerful, Huh?
A version of this post was released in February for members of Smart Bitches After Dark. I received a few email messages thanking me and one suggested releasing it for everyone – a fine idea! Especially considering that I am still thinking about the HEA and what it does, and I’m curious what you think as well. So think of this as a preview of what we’re up to, and an invitation: if you’d like … Continue reading Dish Course: The HEA is Really Freaking Powerful, Huh?

Joanna Shupe, Recommended YA, & More
RECOMMENDED: Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert is $1.99 and a KDD! This is book two in the Crimson Sails series and Lara gave it a B+:
When I review books, I stop intermittently to jot down notes. With Katee Robert books, I get so immersed so quickly that I forget to take notes. The story sucks me in comprehensively and this book is no exception to that rule. If you’re interested in this series, definitely start with book one as the two are closely linked. I can heartily recommend both.

HaBO: Clogged Duct in a Motorcycle Club
This HaBO is from Courtnee, who wants to find this romance. Content warning for the description below: I am looking for a Motorcycle Club Romance. It’s not the first book in the series but I’m not sure where it falls after that. The heroine is pregnant and is being stalked and needs protection. She is friends with the club president’s wife/girlfriend and I believe they have kids. She ends up staying on their compound for … Continue reading HaBO: Clogged Duct in a Motorcycle Club
