Many of us in SBTB HQ deal with chronic illnesses that make every day a new and different adventure: what part hurts today? When will my energy run out? 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: Harlequin Where the Hero is Being Hunted
This HaBO is from Eddie, who is hoping to find this romance: I am losing my mind trying to remember the title of a romantic suspense book I read sometime in the 2010s.

The Physical Book & Publisher Clues: I am almost positive it was a category romance maybe Silhouette/Harlequin. It … Continue reading HaBO: Harlequin Where the Hero is Being Hunted
