Holiday Gift Guide 2025: White Elephant, Secret Santa, and Yankee Trader Gifts
It’s time! It’s time! Smart Bitches Gift Guides are here! This started long ago (2007!!) as a way for me to shop holiday catalogs for the whole website readership and pick out gifts y’all might like to receive or give. Remember catalogs? Nordstrom is allegedly bringing them back, according to The Fug Girls, and I love this decision. I think catalogs are due for a comeback. Until they return, I will continue with weekly gift … Continue reading Holiday Gift Guide 2025: White Elephant, Secret Santa, and Yankee Trader Gifts

HaBO: Not a Mary Balogh
This HaBO request is from SL, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a regency romance. I thought it was a Mary Balogh book, but can’t find it, so it might be an author similar to Balogh. What I know for certain: Hero either kills or wounds brother in a duel. Hero had meant to delope, but was young and a terrible shot… Hero is either exiled by family or is self-exiled. He … Continue reading HaBO: Not a Mary Balogh
2025 Rhinebeck Recap

HaBO: Rancher & Brit Reunite in a Big City
This HaBO request is from Chelsea, who wants to find this romance: Thanks in advance for helping find this book, I am at a loss: The book would be new, within the past few years. I had thought it was by Elliott Rose, but it might have just had a similar cover to her Crimson Ridge series. The heroine is British, grew up in foster care, comes to the U.S. on holiday with an American … Continue reading HaBO: Rancher & Brit Reunite in a Big City
