And how did I injure myself that badly in my sleep?! We have a number of … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Managing Chronic Illness
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: Her Parents Were Activists in the 70s
This HaBO comes from Chioma, who wants to find this romance: I read this African-American romance novel as a kid, and I am trying to find the title and author. It was likely published between 1995 and 2005. It is a standalone book set in the USA, and the cover was definitely an illustrated style—not a real photo.

This HaBO is from Farah, who wants to find this historical romance: I have been scratching my mind for years and can’t seem to be able to find this one book I read ages ago.

HaBO: Never Been Kissed Romance from the 80s or 90s
This HaBO is from Amelia in the podcast Patreon discord: This was a 1980s/90s vintage romance with a heroine undercover as a high school student a la Never Been Kissed??? The hero is a teacher who thinks she’s 17 for most of the book. It’s a yikes but I’m in a Fast Times at Ridgemont High cultural deep dive and it’s driving me insane trying to find when this came out.
