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 →

Happy Tuesday! A petite release week for SBTB HQ. It’s mostly contemporary romances, plus a little horror to help kick off the fall season. Which releases are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!

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 →
