I’ve been working on new shirts, stickers, mugs and swag for the Bitchery, and since coupons are flurrying fast and furious, I’ve made sure there are items available at different vendors, such as Zazzle, StickerMule, and Teepublic. We have some new stickers: Buy this sticker And matching shirts: But right now, I’m working on bringing back an old design from 2007, and I’d like to ask for your help! Behold, the updated Smart Bitches Advisory stickers! My … Continue reading Smart Bitches Advisory Stickers for You!→
Happy Hump Day! This is going to be my last batch of links before I fly home for the holiday! (Please pray for me.) So if next week’s links seem a little strange, it might be a call for help. … A group of awesome women were brought together by a love of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries to create The Adventuresses’ Club of the Americas. Reader Susan Thompson reached out to let us know they’re having … Continue reading Links: Cross Stitch, Magical Mice Shops, & Swag→
Burning Up by Susan Andersen is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance set in a small town with a “bad girl” heroine and a fire chief hero. Some readers recommend this for fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillips, while others though the main conflict was a bit silly. Have you read this one?
I DEEPLY regret that I can’t remember which of you wonderful Bitches recommended Cinnamon and Gunpowder, but I owe you one because this book was AMAZEBALLS. I do have to warn readers in the strongest terms that the book has a bittersweet ending. There is a love story, but this is NOT a romance novel and you will want copious amounts of tissues towards the end. But boy howdy, is it amazing! Cinnamon and Gunpowder … Continue reading Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown→
This HaBO comes from Shannah: I read a paperback story in the 90’s that I would love to re-read. I think the cover was dark blue with a woman and a house on it? I can remember that the main character is a woman named Crystal. I believe it took place on the West Coast during the mining boom. I don’t know if it was gold rush era or just when mining became popular. The … Continue reading HaBO: Lovesick Hero Builds Heroine a House in a Valley→
RECOMMENDED: Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched!. Carrie read it and gave it a B. Overall, she enjoyed it, but thought it suffered from too much plot:
Dukes Prefer Blondes is a book with irresistible characters, a great plot, and tons of witty banter. Y’all know how dearly I love a battle of wits, and this couple just never slows down on the battlefront. It would be A+ material if not for the extremely odd construction. It feels like this book is one draft short of finished, and also like it’s two books crammed into one.
This HaBO request is from Emma S., who is looking for a time travel historical romance. Trigger warning for mentions of animal abuse: The heroine is a historian from the near future working on a project with a machine that can let people look back into the past on the screen. One night, she doesn’t go to an office party and works instead. But after a lightning strike, the machine actually shows future events. She tells her … Continue reading HaBO: Time Traveling Heroine Poses as a Crusade Widow→
I barely recognize myself anymore. For years I’ve sneered at holiday romance and this year I’m devouring everything red, green, and glittered. Christmas has never been my favorite holiday, but in light of Dumpster Fire 2016 I’m grasping for anything happy and joyful –even if the holidays previously felt over commercialized and fake. I put up every holiday decoration I could find in the back corners of my basement. I racked up my MasterCard bill over-indulging … Continue reading Glass Tidings by Amy Jo Cousins→
RECOMMENDED: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant is 99c! This book is often recommended in terms a sex-positive heroine and was mentioned on a previous podcast where Sarah and I discussed Tinder. However, other readers found the heroine’s view of sex to be rather unromantic. Have you read this one?
