Amanda, Carrie, Elyse, RedHeadedGirl and I talk about ghost tours, starting with the 1.5 ghost tours she went on in York recently. We discuss what makes a good ghost tour guide, and which stories were the best (and creepiest). Amanda shares her recommendation for ghostly, creepy television shows (don’t worry, of course we have links!). She also talks about a ghost tour she took in school (!) in fourth grade (!!) as part of her … Continue reading 270. Bitches Assemble: Ghost Tours, Ghost Stories, and Creepy Recommendations →
UPDATE: Deal no longer valid.
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This book is talked about constantly in my monthly book group and readers love the premise. Though it’s on the shorter side. I know I was surprised at that when I bought it in physical form.

Time for more podcast episode recommendations. I know many of you are like me and listen to an increasing number of podcasts, so here are a few episode recommendations I think you might like. Episode 7 of Queery with Cameron Esposito in an interview with Stephanie Beatriz, and it is one of those episodes that’s so good I listened to it twice, and asked my husband to listen to it, too. They talk about eating disorders, … Continue reading October 26, 2017 Podcast Recommendations →

RECOMMENDED: The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden is $1.99! This fantasy novel has elements of Russian mythology and I made a soothing cocktail for it. The book is whimsical and perfect for the winter, though it can drag at times.

This HaBO request is from Alyssa. She’s trying to track down a YA series she just can’t seem to remember. Trigger warning for the description below: My small town library had a dismal selection of good YA, but in the early 90s I fell in love with a series they had. It was a group of teens and the writing was smart, funny, and real. I don’t remember specific plot lines, but do remember a … Continue reading HaBO: 90s YA Series with Biracial Heroine →
RECOMMENDED: Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins is 99c! Redheadedgirl gave this book an A and reminded us all how lucky we are to have an author like Jenkins:
What Jenkins has been doing for decades upon decades is giving her readers strong three-dimensional Black women who are loved, desired, and cherished. I can’t tell you how important that is. Eddy gets to be strong, but also loved and supported by her community and her man, and that is the thing I loved most about her. I’m so glad Jenkins is writing these stories and giving voice to these times and places and people. We’re really lucky to have her in our community.

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Ashlee, who’s searching for an important romance novel: My mother read a romance novel while she was pregnant with me where the main character’s name was “Ashlee Rose”. This was during the year 1987, but it could be a book published before then (which I think it is). All I know (from my mother) was that she was a tough woman, incredibly intelligent, and had men dying to be with her. … Continue reading HaBO: Her Name Was Ashlee Rose →
I recently shared on a podcast with Sarah that my mom would be undergoing a pretty major surgery, and I was stocking up on books to keep me out of my head (where my anxiety lives) while I waited during the procedure. Due to some complications (Mom is fine) I found myself once again camped out in the ICU waiting room. Turns out ICU waiting rooms are absolute shit for sleep but great for whittling … Continue reading Touch of Red by Laura Griffin →
