Hey, everyone! Did you know it was Wednesday? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S. A week or so ago, I asked for some dessert suggestions. Thank you so much! I think I’m going with a chocolate mousse this year and pairing it with a cinnamon whipped cream. The mousse I’ll be making this afternoon, just so I have one less thing to do tomorrow. My partner and I also made fancy dinner reservations for the … Continue reading Links: Mascots, Artists, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links where I am definitely very sleepy! So far this week, every day has felt like a Monday. Between the heat and this pandemic, I’m just over it. Counties near me are going back to mask mandates and I’m all for doing whatever is best for the community, but it just makes me sad. Anyone else feeling the same way? Thank god I had therapy yesterday. … We all knew that … Continue reading Links: Tattoos, Plagiarism, & More

Settle in for some Wednesday Links! I feel like it’s a been a slow “cool things on the Internet” week, or maybe I’ve just been traveling too much to keep up. It could also been both! Both is a very real possibility. Thankfully, I get a break from traveling until the end of July for RWA. … Harlequin has established Harlequin Studios, which aims to adapt their titles for TV and film.

What a timely request! Thanks to Monique for sending this one in: In one of my Facebook readers groups, someone posted a picture of the ridiculously HOT team USA men’s bobsledding team. So my curiosity got the better of me and I deep dived into google to see if there were any bobsled romances. Sadly, I found nothing so I figured I should ask the pros of romance recommendations! Secondly I was just wondering if … Continue reading The Rec League: Winter Olympics
Before I get into this romance, I want to state that I don’t really follow much of the Olympics. I get my Olympic news from my roommate and from Twitter, which means I can’t really comment on the accuracy of how the events are portrayed in this book. However, I did feel like reading a romance between two veteran Olympians would help me contribute to the Olympic spirit currently permeating every one of my personal … Continue reading Shot on Gold by Jaci Burton
It’s Wednesday! And Boston’s weather is having a moment. The high is 69 today (nice), but we’re due for snow tomorrow. I just came back from a rather relaxing reading retreat and it’s a struggle to drag myself to the gym. What I’m trying to say is that my life is all over the place and I hope your Wednesday is faring better. … Reminder! Our Movie Matinee Broadcast News discussion will be occurring this … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Olympics, & Star Wars
Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Park is an erotic romance novella featuring two female professional athletes competing in the Snow & Ice Games which is definitely not the same thing as the Winter Olympics. Nope. Definitely not. It also has the honor of tying with Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series in the category: Most Sexually Explicit Scene Elyse Has Ever Read. So… If that makes you a little nervous (and that’s fair given I … Continue reading Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker
When Redheadedgirl sent me a link to You Will Know Me, a thriller featuring a young gymnast, I was like OMG GIVE IT TO ME NOW. We’ve both been watching a lot of Olympics gymnastics (although I’m a four-year-fan, she’s a die hard), so it fit in perfectly with our summer activities. Unfortunately it was a book that worked a lot better for me then her. You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott is a … Continue reading You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott
Though I haven’t been following the Olympics closely, I figured I should read something that aligns with current events. Besides, I really loved the cover of Blind Landing, and a romance between gymnasts opens up all sorts of possibilities for creative sexytimes. Natalia and Spencer both reside at the same training facility. Nat is hoping to qualify at the Olympic trials and go on to fulfill her dream of earning a medal. Spencer used to … Continue reading Blind Landing by Carrie Aarons
It’s Wednesday Links time! Is it lunch time? Are you eating and reading at your desk? Is it time to go home yet? … This following article was sent to my by one of my friends and I promptly shared it everywhere because it’s awesome – “In Defense of Villainesses” from the Tor.com blog: We love her and we hate her in equal measure. We feel that way because she revels in being all the things … Continue reading Links: Villainess, Badminton, & Fashion!
