Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
I love action movies with female leads. Turns out, women doing the killing and saving really works for me and this series scratches that itch. I know the Bitchery are probably sick of me climbing onto my high horse about blurbs, but I found this one misleading. I don’t think the person that wrote that blurb read the book carefully enough.

Unromance by Erin Connor is $3.99! This is a recent release, coming out in January. I believe this is in the queue for Cover Awe and it was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet.
I settled in to knit this morning, but Muzzy said “No, Mama” and draped herself across my arms. So we’re doing The Bachelor instead because she’s so little she can lay across me while I still type. Muzzy: I am huge! Fierce! Ma’am you are six and a half pounds. Next up on the travel portion of the show is Edinburgh, Scotland. Next week is apparently Hometowns and man they are fast-tracking this season. Muzzy: I … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S29 E5: Carolina Drama

My friend Trisha (Hi, Trisha! Miss you!) shared this to her IG stories, of people talking about what silly, whimsical thing they’re doing to bring a small joy to their life. The original ask started on TikTok. Here are some of the responses: I’ve asked my fellow SBTB teammates to share their whimsies with the world. Sarah: I keep a candle on the windowsill in my kitchen, and when I’m cooking dinner, I start with … Continue reading What’s Your Whimsy?

Some readers advise reading the series in order for a richer experience, while others say you could jump into this as a standalone. What did you think of the Netflix adaption of this one? Is it the best one so far?
