Welcome back! I’m sad to announce that the allergies have started! My partner had the bedroom windows open all day yesterday and my sinuses pretty much exploded when I got home. I empathize with everyone else in the same boat. May your tissues be soft and your Benadryl naps be pleasant. We’ve also started vacation planning for the end of the year. It’ll be really nice having something to look forward to! Do you have … Continue reading Links: Quails, Reality TV, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! It doesn’t feel like a Wednesday and time seems to be going painfully slow this week. Last night, I had a bridal dress consultation with Alysia Cole, a bridal stylist I found on Instagram. It was a wonderful half hour call and I’m eager to see her suggestions on where to shop locally and what designers might work for the style I envision. I’m especially prioritizing dresses that allow me to … Continue reading Links: Cozy Fiction, Trading Cards, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Time for a little check-in. How are we doing? I’m certainly spending more time with my partner. We had a lovely afternoon of gaming last weekend. We took turns doing runs of Slay the Spire; whoever wasn’t playing would be working on their laptop or reading. I’m eying the new Split Fiction game, because I really liked It Takes Two. Have any of you picked it up yet? I’m also in a cozy game … Continue reading Links: Faerie Smut, Cats, & More→

Hi Smart Bitches! Debut sci-fi romance author Amy Zed here! I’m still all starry-eyed from interviewing sci fi romance icon Jennifer Estep for Smart Bitches last month, so it’s hard to believe I’m here again to introduce you all to another amazing author! And, Bitches, this is gonna be a good one. Meg Smitherman and her work are truly unique. Meg first staked her claim in indie publishing back in 2022 with her dark romantasy … Continue reading Q&A: Amy Zed and Meg Smitherman→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are we all feeling? I just received news that the event I’m moderating for Lovestruck Books is sold out and they’re taking only waitlist names now. I’m ecstatic but also want to vomit from nerves. But no, I know it’ll be great. Seriously, if you haven’t visited the space, I highly recommend it. Aside from that, my peachy pinky home office is coming together. Painting is done, my desk … Continue reading Links: Welsh Mythology, Sound of Music, & More→
Welcome back to links! How are we all doing? My brother and his wife finally landed back in the States for his new assignment and his wife is speedrunning American franchises. She loves trying out American chains. The biggest hit for her so far has been In-N-Out Burger and she’s discovered she’s not a fan of refried beans. As a reminder, she is Korean and my brother was stationed there for a while. She also … Continue reading Links: Slime, Meet Cute Bookshop, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How is everyone doing? If you need some super cute news, I’ve managed to get Fig into a baby sling wrap so I can play video games or do work and still “hold” her. Before, she would yell at me and try to climb up my body until I held her like a baby. Does anyone have similar needy pets that you’ve designed clever little work arounds? I also appreciate … Continue reading Links: Exhibitions, Cat Games, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I am dragging today, so as you’re reading this, I’m probably brewing an afternoon cup of coffee on this somewhat dreary New England day. My house is also staggeringly devoid of a little biscuit or treat to munch on while drinking. A shame! Do you have a favorite coffee or tea paring? I love hearing about people’s food rituals, especially for more soothing meals or snacks. … Bree Bridges of … Continue reading Links: Embroidery, Dragons, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are you all doing? I’ve been working remotely to keep an eye on Fig this week and much to my colleagues’ delight, they got to watch her scale the back of my gaming chair while in a meeting. I’m so excited that we are creeping closer to fall and I hope the heat is mostly behind us. I have a dear friend who firmly believes “sweat is an aesthetic” … Continue reading Links: Disability, Pokemon, & More→
Big thanks to Heather S. for this wonderful idea that we whipped up in a frenzy! Way back when, we used to have a Google Maps of “romance-friendly” bookstores, but now there are quite a number of romance-specific bookstores popping up. I was only able to find US and Canada-based bookstores. This also doesn’t have any of the wonderful pop-up or mobile romance shops out there. If we missed any in your area, please let … Continue reading A Map of Romance Bookstores→
Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I joined the office softball league and our first game was up against a team who takes the game way too seriously, especially playing up against a group of people with a team where 80% of us have never played softball before. Oh well, we still had a fun time amongst our group! My partner was also recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and we just found this great … Continue reading Links: Sailor Moon, Events & More→
