Happy Wednesday! I’m hungry! We’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately, but our yummy leftovers never seem to last long. My partner works from home, so they are usually his lunches. I think we have to start doubling up on recipes. We recently made this white chili and it was so good. My partner couldn’t find green chiles and we used chipotle chiles in adobo instead.

I know there’s the recurring joke that Christmas decor is getting put out earlier and earlier and I think that’s pretty accurate. This year, I’m pretty meh … Continue reading Links: Romance Coverage, Adaptation News, & More

Molly Molloy & the Angel of Death by Maria Vale is 99c! I highly suggest listening to the podcast we did with Maria on this book. She explains it well that this isn’t a romance per se

The Truth According to Ember by Danica Nava is $2.99! Carrie read this one and gave it a B-:
Overall, this is a fun screwball comedy. I really enjoyed the representation of a Chickasaw woman and the barriers she faces to improving her life. As exasperated as I constantly was with Ember, I wanted her to thrive as the smart, hard-working woman that she clearly is, and for the most part I was happy with how her story was resolved.
