Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
Forget Met Not by Julie Soto is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This was Soto’s contemporary romance debut and I mentioned it on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I liked this one! The book does switch between past and current events to show more of the main couple’s previous history, but I understand it could be a jarring format for the reader.
This Rec League came from Babelfish. Thank you so much! Hi y’all – you did a wonderful post a while back on fat-positive historical romances, and generally y’all are super cool about calling out fatphobia where you see it. The book I’m looking for may not exist, but if it does, I thought you’d know. (I’m a librarian and I’m coming up empty, so I’m turning to the experts!) I’m looking for books for *partners* … Continue reading The Rec League: Supportive Through Body Dysmorphia
Welcome back to Links! I very much enjoyed the collective snarking in the comments last week. I love it when a community comes together! For those in the States, I hope you had a pleasant Labor Day weekend. For us, it was mostly a weekend of rotting, jut hanging and vegging out at home. How did you spend your weekend? We’re starting to feel a hint of fall in New England and I am so … Continue reading Links: Cover Songs, Cover Models, & More
Triple Sec by TJ Alexander is $1.99! This was mentioned in Dahlia’s Queer Romance Round-Up for June. I also remember a few other reviewers on staff being excited about it due to the poly romance.
I know summer doesn’t technically end until September 22, but for me, the few days after Labor Day are the finale. It’s still plenty warm, but Joann’s* has Halloween out the wazoo and down the hall, and Costco is already starting to get decorative if you know what I mean, and I think that you do. Alongside the 10 pound bags of Halloween candy (100 Grand or bust!) there’s…signs of sparkle. But while I think … Continue reading What was YOUR Book of the Summer?
Rich and I are both going into The Bachelorette tonight sick. We have some kind of virus (luckily not Covid) and have taken all the cold medicines. Hard to say if that’s going to make this better or worse. As usual, Picasso says “How you doin’?” It’s Fantasy Suites week and we’re in Hawaii. The first date goes to Devin who has already told Jenn he loves her. Jenn has not reciprocated yet. They start out … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S21 E8: So Boring
RECOMMENDED: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is $2.99! I love the new covers! Carrie recently reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This book was perfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA.
This HaBO is from Chelsea, who wants to find this book. Content warning for the death of a family: So I read a romance novel a while ago on a laptop that I no longer have. In the book, a young woman’s family all died in a car accident on the way to like a waterpark or something like that, and she stays in the house but never touches their things. Then a man moves … Continue reading HaBO: Car Accident on the Way to a Waterpark
RECOMMENDED: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske is $2.99! Carrie wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it a B:
Readers who love thoughtful, specific worldbuilding and very thoughtful characters who slowly fall for one another will likely enjoy this book, though be warned that the tension and pace felt uneven and may require some reader perseverance.
