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: Steamy Steam Room Action
This HaBO comes from Andrea, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a book from Kindle, but I can’t remember the cover, title, or any of the character names.
