Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
This Rec League came from our own Sarah! It was a tough one: What do you think about a Rec League of escape books: stories, esp romance, that are so absorbing, you disappear into the book for a long while. And the catch is, no one can rec a book they’ve rec’d before? Sarah: Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan, but this is not a cozy kind of fantasy. A young woman with cancer … Continue reading The Rec League: Pure Escapism
The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel is $2.99! Because this book was such a bestseller, I’m worried this could expire at any moment. I personally haven’t read it, but a fellow bookseller colleague listed this as their best book of 2020. Have you read it?

Welcome back to Links! Apologies for no Links last week. Like many, I was not doing too well Wednesday morning and promptly texted Sarah, “Oh shit. I forgot to schedule a Links post.” But I am back! Perhaps not too much better than I was a week ago, but baby steps. The unpacking has kept me distracted and I am eager for the Thanksgiving break to full cozy up in front of our fireplace with … Continue reading Links: Ghostwriters, Free eBooks, & More

This HaBO is from Krysty, who wants to find this romance: Hi, I stumbled upon your website yesterday hoping someone will help me find this book. It’s been in my head for over 10 years and I’m beginning to forget. So the book is about a heroine – Marianne or Mary – can’t quite remember, falls in love with a brooding, standoffish hero with a scarred face who stays in the dark in a big … Continue reading HaBO: Yet Another Scarred Hero, Virgin Heroine
The Deep End by Kristen Ashley is $1.99! This is the first book in the Honey series and features an alpha hero who happens to be a submissive in the bedroom. Hello! Some readers felt the writing was too “flowery” for a typical Kristen Ashley romance. If you’ve read this, tell me what you thought!
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Mabry: This guy is suffering from sliding bicep syndrome, plus his forearm seems to be stolen from a 7 foot tall basketball player. And then there’s the nipple that’s trying to leave the scene altogether. He also looks like one of the Property Brothers. Sarah: Ok the proportions and perspective here are really weird to the point I feel like I should give everyone a warning. Like, uncanny valley … Continue reading Cover Snark: Yet Another Terrible Wolf Placement

Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Half of today’s books were recommend to me by colleagues and friends, and I wanted to pass them along to you. I think that’s what I love so much about having a personal bookish community, especially one where everyone has their niches. What book recommendations have you received recently? Do you also have your own wonderful bookish circles in your personal life?
