Welcome everyone! It’s time for Links! I’ll be attending my fourth cheese class of the year on Friday. This one has a focus on “snacking cheese.” I’m very much a grazer and snacker, so I’m pretty excited. My class last time was recreating a five-course meal but with cheese! The winner was the “banana split” course, featuring a softened Fior di Langa cheese from Caseificio Altalanga paired with banana jam and a maraschino cherry. It … Continue reading Links: Barbie, Cats, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How the heck are all of you? It’s the last Wednesday of July and then some of us will be moving onto the dog days of summer, which is honestly my least favorite time of year where the boob sweat is at its highest. My brother is returning to his base after his deployment and I’m hoping I’ll get to visit him in Germany soonish, travel restrictions permitting. … If … Continue reading Links: Marginalia, Emma, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Over the weekend, I went down a rabbit hole of music, revisiting some of my absolute favorite videos and finding some new ones. That means, this edition of links is all about singing and dancing. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy! 2021 isn’t off to the greatest of starts, but hopefully thinks will begin to turn around in about a week. SBTB is here for you when … Continue reading Links: Song & Dance →

There will be an author chat, a cookie swap, and romance bingo. … Christine Blasey Ford received the ACLU Courage Award recently. Jezebel has a … Continue reading Links: American Girl Dolls, Dancing, & More →
This is described in the cover copy as an “Elizabethan romp” which…is sort of true. It’s a little less rompy than the blurb implies, but it’s full of delightful research tidbits. It’s also a second chance romance (sort of) of two people who figure out that life together is better than life apart, and that sex can be fun. Frances and Henry have been married for ten years, and they have several children together, but … Continue reading Courtly Pleasures by Erin Kane Spock →
Admittedly, I’m one of those people who will click on anything in their Facebook timeline. But this time, my impulsive curiosity did not disappoint. I follow Logo on Facebook, mainly to say up to date on all RuPaul’s Drag Race news and they posted this awe-inspiring video from a French choreographer. Seriously. It made me jealous, pumped, and starstruck all at the same time. I showed it to the rest of the SBTB posse and Sarah described it … Continue reading Friday Videos Are Fierce →
I try to resist the impulse to review every book in a series. I really do. After a few reviews, the reader should have all the information they need to know whether or not a series is of interest to them, and I should give some new authors a chance. But I was so happy with Chaos Choreography, the latest InCryptid novel by Seanan McGuire, that I can’t resist giving the series one more hurrah. I … Continue reading Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire →
