If you’ve noticed CloudFlare verifying that you’re human, that’s because I had to enable extra security because of a DDOS attack. I also woke up to 1500+ spam email messages sent through contact forms on the site, too. The poor server is having A Time of it. At least it’s not Tuesday, I guess? Then I’d have all those dildos to contend with. (Also: every time I see that cover, my brain wants to read … Continue reading Just a Little DDOS Fun, Dildos, and Finding the Mystery Cowboy →

Hello, everyone! We have a slightly different Rec League this week. On a bonus episode of the podcast, which we release for SBTB Podcast Patreon members, Sarah asked me to come up with some fall gaming recs. Well, I definitely overdid it and had twenty in a matter of ten minutes. Most of these are cozy games, with a couple of exceptions. If you are a fellow cozy gamer, allow me to plug Wholesome Games. … Continue reading The Rec League: Video Games for Fall →
Welcome, everyone! My partner and I are officially homeowners and we got to sign our paperwork in a haunted law office. Absolute perfection. We won’t move in for a bit because there’s painting to do and flooring to replace, but I’m feeling very emotional (in a good way) about the whole thing. The notion of not renting anymore and being able to customize whatever I want feels so freeing! The possibilities are endless! I’m also … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Cheese, & More →

This HaBO is from Smiley, who is hoping to find this romance: I am desperately looking for a book that had these scenes. 1. The book is part of a series and contains characters from prior series. 2. The protagonist is a war veteran who returns home. 3. He becomes involved romantically with the sister of one of his friends. 4. There is a scene where the protagonist gets into a fight at a bar … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Gets into Bar Fight with Best Friend →
Welcome back, everyone! A petite, little release week for us. The rest of the month is also on par, with roughly 5-6 books we’re excited for each week until we close out October. I haven’t even started looking at my November releases yet! Which books are on your TBR pile? Let us know in the comments!
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! Sarah and I mentioned this in Hide Your Wallet last October. I think I wound up grabbing it in audio, but am notoriously bad at whittling down my audiobook library.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Shirley: At first glance the proportions of the cover warrior looked all wrong, shoulders too much and abs to waist too little. Sarah: That looks like a barber’s drape cut into a wee caplet. Did he rip off the barber shop? Amanda: It’s a Peter Pan collar for exotic dancers. Sarah: Also, another abdomen is looking at me. This one seems rather unimpressed. Elyse: I can’t make visual sense … Continue reading Cover Snark: Glowing Boots – What Do They Mean? →
