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
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! Last time, I featured mostly fiction and one true crime book. This time, it’s half and half, but I’ll be honest that none of these are uplifting. For the fiction, get your tissues ready. The non-fiction titles skew more toward activism and systemic racism. What recommendations have you received lately? Are they on any particular theme?
This Rec League request comes from Arden. Thanks, Arden! Bitchery, I want to get into monster romance and I don’t know where to start! I want quality writing along with blush-inducing smut. Non-con is a no-go for me. What do you suggest? Sarah: Railed by the Krampus A Lady of Rooksgrave Hall 1000000%. And the sequel, The Company of Fiends All of CM Nacosta for sure: Morning Glory Milking Farm The Dragon’s Bride and sequels … Continue reading The Rec League: Monsters for Beginners
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! As a refresher, this is where I talk about book recommendations I’ve either given or received. We have an eclectic mix this time with sci-fi Shakespearean retellings to short story collections to art theft! Have you received any great book recs lately? Any books you want to put on our radar? Tell us in the comments!
This Rec League request comes from Varian in the SBTB PatreonDiscord. Their request: I’d like some romances without an act 3 breakup. Amanda: Note that I guess this could mean spoilers for certain books, so FYI before reading further. Sarah: Courtney Milan doesn’t like 3rd act breakups. Shana: I love those books so I can’t wait to see what the Bitchery comes up with for this one. Ana Maria and the Fox doesn’t have a … Continue reading The Rec League: No Third Act Breakups
