Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible is a great gift book for a very specific reader. They must be sufficiently interested in Jane Austen’s work to want a book which combines excerpts from Austen with Regency era fashion plates from La Belle Assemblee, a periodical that published its first issue in 1806. But they also have just the right level of interest – too much, and this book will leave them feeling cheated of more information. This … Continue reading Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible by Ros Ballaster →
Hello and happy Wednesday! What a week! I’ll be bopping around Disney next week to attend a giant pin trading event and partake in the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. I’m so stoked.

Any exciting plans on the horizon for … Continue reading Links: Crochet Patterns, Soap Operas, & More →

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Sarah from our podcast patreon discord: I’m looking for an erotica novella I read circa 2020/2021. It was probably a Kindle Unlimited title, although I can’t find it on my KU history. Age gap I think. The heroine was a cam girl who rented a room in hero’s home. She dressed in lingerie and read erotica on cam. The hero was supportive of her desire to do this kind of work, … Continue reading HaBO: She Reads Erotica on Cam →

RECOMMENDED: All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens is $1.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale. We ran a positive guest review of this one recently:
