A Taste of Stuff We Like…
Stuff We Like: Crafting and Reading in the Dark
This month’s Stuff We like comes from LittyN, who has a request: So you did a gift guide for crafty folks in 2021, but some of the links are dead and it didn’t address a question that was raised as I was a passenger in a long drive back over the holidays — what’s the best neck light for knitting (or crocheting) in twilight or encroaching darkness? Needs to be not distracting to the driver … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Crafting and Reading in the Dark

HaBO: Medical Romance Set in South India
This HaBO is from Annie, who wants to find this Harlequin/Mills & Boon title: I read this medical romance as a young and sheltered teenager in the 1980s(!), but can’t for the life of me recall the title or the author. It was a Harlequin or Mills & Boon romance set in south India, which was different enough that it stuck with me over the years. The nurse (can’t remember her name) was of Indian … Continue reading HaBO: Medical Romance Set in South India
Kickass Women in History: Queen Himiko
For this month’s kickass woman, we turn our attention to Japan and the legendary life of Queen Himiko, the first recorded ruler of ancient Japan – not only the first female ruler, but the first ruler, period. I’m going to do a little summarizing here, but I’m also going to be very link-heavy. So much legend surrounds Queen Himiko that I am waaay over my head in terms of describing her life, but I do … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Queen Himiko

HaBO: She Transfer to a European University
This HaBO is from Anna, who wants to find this romance: I recently came across this scene from a new book an author was self promoting on Instagram and looked it up on Goodreads but I guess I forgot to add it. She’s probably not as well known or maybe an indie author. It was one of those pictures of the excerpts. The heroine is a transfer student to Eastern or Central Europe, most likely … Continue reading HaBO: She Transfer to a European University

HaBO: He Tries to Kidnap Her After a House Party
This HaBO request was submitted by Dionne, who wants to find this historical romance: A bit of a long shot I’m trying to find the title and author of a book. I’ve gone through all my books and fear it may have been lost in a house move. It’s a regency historical that was steamy/open door. I only have a sketchy memory of it being about a book worm heroine who doesn’t need to look … Continue reading HaBO: He Tries to Kidnap Her After a House Party
