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 →

It’s one of my favorite weekends of the year– the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival–but this year it felt a little bit like a letdown. There seemed to be fewer vendors and less stock, meaning that even though I went early on the first day a lot of the specialty colorways I was looking for were already sold out. First of all, I attend the event every year with friends and I wasn’t the only … Continue reading Wisconsin Sheep and Wool 2025 Recap →
