It’s time to journey back to the October 1988 issue of Romantic Times! That’s right, we’re going all the way back to 1988, a time when one of us on the show wasn’t born yet. We’ve got absolutely appalling plots, some extremely luscious covers, and more – like Amanda’s engagement! Congrats Amanda and Brian!

Welcome back to Wednesday Links, everybody! I love hearing about all of your yummy fall foods. I do have to make a point to pick up some candy corn soon. I am an unabashed candy corn and candy pumpkin lover. How do you feel about Halloween candy? Any distinct favorites? For me, fall means lots of dips and soups.

RECOMMENDED: The Stand-In by Lily Chu is $2.51! This is a debut contemporary romance. Elyse gave this one an A:
So we have a celebrity romance, women being friends and helping each other with their mental health, and reflections on identity and community. That’s a lot to pack into a book, but it all works and delivered by Philippa Soo’s incredibly soothing voice, it was totally my jam.
