Welcome back, everyone! This edition of Get Rec’d has mostly recommendations that I’ve received elsewhere and not ones that I’ve given. I love when my interests align and the book communities I’m part give me new titles to add to my out of control TBR pile. There’s manga, fae, sci-fi, and an Alice in Wonderland retelling. Get any good recommendations you want to share? Let us know!
This request comes from Grace. Thanks, Grace! I have a weirdly specific rec request. I guess you could just call it mail order brides, but more specifically: Sarah Plain & Tall vibes? I’ve been re-watching the Sarah Plain & Tall movies with my grandma lately. I’ve loved the book & movies all my life and they were VERY formative in becoming a romance addict, but being from the kids’ POV, we only see an outside … Continue reading The Rec League: Sarah, Plain & Tall
Hello and welcome back to Get Rec’d! This is where I impart some book recs, usually pulling from recommendations I’ve given or received. We have a community recommendation this time, and if there are ever books you want to shout about or think would be of interest to the site, feel free to send an email. I also have some upcoming nonfiction, a horror anthology, and a sci-fi novella. Have you received any great recommendations … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 64
Hello, everyone! I’m back and big thanks to Sarah for driving the Whatcha Reading party bus in my absence. I loaded up my ereader and my Libro.fm app for my long flights and of course, barely did any reading. Ain’t that just the way. … Shana: I’ve been reading Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina Kumar on audiobook. I’m halfway in and loving it so far! It’s got two of my favorite tropes: a fake … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? April 2024, Part Two
This Rec League is from Elizabeth. Thanks so much! After reading this one and The Worst Guy (also reviewed on the site, also hilarious!), I discovered I have a thing for romance novels about villains, or at least jerks who find happiness with other jerks. I wonder if there is a whole genre of those. Amanda: We have a Villains Redeemed Rec League, but I definitely want to focus on the jerks 4 jerks part … Continue reading The Rec League: Jerks in Love
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! This one has more romance than I typically include because we already recommend so many romances on the site! Of course, romance is also what we’re here for. On top of two romance recommendations, I’ve included a YA graphic novel and a super cute picture book. Have you received any good recommendations? Drop them in the comments below!
This Rec League request is from Kir in our SBTB Patreon Discord: Can anyone recommend any books where the main characters solve a theft please? As opposed to solving a murder, or books that follow the thieves doing the heist. Can be mystery/romance/any genre, but bonus points if it’s in a secondary world. Lara: I haven’t finished it yet but The Three Dahlias by Katy Watson seems to focus on a theft only. Sarah: There … Continue reading The Rec Leagues: Thefts
Hey, everyone! How’s it going? I’m back with another round of recommendations for all types of readers. I even selfishly included one I keep getting that I want some second opinions on. This time, we have a Medusa story, a love story anthology, and non-fiction. Get any good recommendations lately? I would love to hear about them in the comments!
This Rec League comes from Anna. Thanks, Anna! This might be a long shot, but I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts the other day and enjoying the banter between one of the hosts and the producer, and it made me think of how many fun dynamics there are in that scene. Are there any romance novels set in the podcasting industry? The closest thing I can think of is The Ex Talk, … Continue reading The Rec League: Podcasting
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! I’m really excited about this edition because there’s so much great stuff in here. There’s a great recommendation from the community, a historical romance that I’m loving that had such a quiet release, a non-fiction title, and more! Are there any recommendations you’d like to pass along? Let us know in the comments!
This Rec League comes from Cyndy. Thanks, Cyndy! I love suspense/thriller romances but have gotten pretty disillusioned with the military and police for all the reasons you’d might expect. I’ve gotten by with some books about ex military groups or non government entities and I can apparently suspend my disbelief enough in those circumstances to have a good time (think Adriana Anders’s Survival Instincts series, which I LOVE). I’d appreciate if there are recs along … Continue reading The Rec League: Romantic Suspense without Military or Law Enforcement
