So…didja watch it? What did you think? Tell me everything! Amanda: I’m putting my thoughts in a spoiler, just in case you may have started it and not finished it. Or if you haven’t read the book yet, as most of my issues came from the differences between the movie and the book. Okay, I’ve done a lot of complaining! I think if you’re going into this movie without prior knowledge of the book’s events, … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club!
The Palace of Illusions by Rowenna Miller is $2.99! This came out over the summer and I mentioned it on Hide Your Wallet because of the interesting setting. I’m not sure if there’s any romance.
We’re going back to August 1996 – that’s a bit of distance – to take a peek at the new releases and the book reviews in Romantic Times magazine. We’re back in the era of time travel, a scifi imprint named Avonova, and probable worms. NSFW worms. As usual, we learn astonishing amounts of unexpected information from this magazine. For example: we’re both obsessed with the 1996 movie Twister and we have many thoughts on … Continue reading 683. RT Rewind: August 1996 Reviews
A Legend in the Baking by Jamie Wesley is $2.99! This is book two in the Sugar Blitz series and came out last November. Maybe grab a sweet treat if you’re reading this one.

The excerpt grabbed me, but I was not about to pay per chapter for a serial that, while thankfully completed, was over 150 chapters. Lucky for … Continue reading The Wrong Obsession by E.L. Sparrow
This Rec League is from Rebecca from our podcast Patreon Discord: So I’m really enjoying the Below Stairs mysteries and wondered if anyone has any recs for other historical cosy mystery series. What I like about them is they generally resolve well and have that cosy mystery feel, but they also acknowledge some of the social justice issues of the time. I don’t really like high society stuff, so I like that they’re about working … Continue reading The Rec League: Cozy Historical Mysteries
Welcome back to Links! Apologies if there are any errors. There is a cat in my lap who does not approve of me reaching over her head to type. No matter how many pet breaks or forehead kisses I give her. A friend and I watched The Thursday Murder Club Netflix adaptation this weekend. I thought it was okay if you hadn’t read the book. Otherwise, I’m a little eh on some of the changes they … Continue reading Links: Kickstarters, Sailor Moon, & More
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is over 800 pages, so a digital copy might be beneficial, though many readers felt a couple hundred pages could have been chopped. I’ve seen reviews call this one an “epic feminist fantasy” novel.
