It’s the most wonderful time of the year… for me anyway. The ‘bers (September, October, November, December) mean beautiful fall colors, cooler weather, and craft fairs. Next year I’m going back to Rhinebeck, but this year I stayed local and went to Wisconsin Sheep & Wool. I got the impression that it was larger–or at least more crowded–this year, possibly due to the weather. Last year was very hot which may have deterred some people … Continue reading Wisconsin Sheep & Wool 2024 →

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Pam G: There is a lot to see here, including wind machines in space. However, our hero has solved it with a plait! According to the Goog, this is called a Dutch braid–so, all business in the front, salon day in the back. Though, to be honest, I am more reminded of the Rat King in The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rats, as that is exactly how I … Continue reading Cover Snark: Pit Check →

I’ve decided to take a really good look at the Contemporary Romance Colors that are most prevalent on covers this year and attempt to identify what is the CR-COTY, the Contemporary Romance Color of the Year. Sidenote: did you know I’m not technically supposed to name things? I’m not good at it. If “CR-COTY” is making your eyelids twitch, I am also responsible for the name DABWAHA, the bracket tournament of romance we used to … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: Green? →
RECOMMENDED: A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! We read this for my book club and we all agreed there wasn’t enough blacksmithing and sword-making. Carrie enjoyed this one and gave it an A-:
This is such a solid book – it’s tear-jerking, it’s inspiring, it’s sexy and romantic, it’s interesting (sword history!) and it’s funny. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

This month is positively overrun with A+ choices, and these five are just the tip of the iceberg. As we usher in a new season, remember that nothing’s more delicious with a pumpkin spice latte or apple cider than a great queer romance!
We’re going back to September 2015, and I want to ease you into this knowledge, so take a breath, center yourself: that was nine years ago. I don’t get it either but apparently it’s true? JR Ward is on the cover, and there’s all kinds of good stuff inside! Come with us to visit some reviews that are word salad, and some that made me say, a few times, “Way harsh, Tai. Way harsh.” Don’t … Continue reading 631. RT Rewind: September 2015 Reviews →

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.
