Happy Wednesday, everyone! Thank you all for the lovely comments on my dress. Now begins the waiting game until it arrives, while I hem and haw over shoe choices. I’m thankful we’re eloping, so I don’t have to factor in the many hours I’ll need to be on my feet. I mentioned this in the Hide Your Wallet comments yesterday, but SBTB Summer Romance Bingo will be returning this year. The bingo card will be … Continue reading Links: Bookshelf Decor, Tea, & More
Longtime SBTB reader Heather S reached out to ask a very important question about chairs. Yes, we are here for your furniture needs! Heather wrote: I’m in the market to get a cozy reading chair. Since we’re headed into cozy seasons (well, in places that aren’t South Texas and clinging to 90-100 degree temps for at least another month or two), I figured y’all would have some good suggestions. Heather’s budget is about $600, and she … Continue reading Heather’s Looking for a Reading Chair
Hi! It’s Wednesday again! Funny how this keeps happening, every seven days or so. Are you in the midst of summer where you live?

I’ll be honest, I probably wouldn’t have picked up An Heiress to Remember had I not liked the other books in the series (and Maya Rodale’s writing in general). It’s got that “dude seeks revenge on the woman who didn’t choose him” plotline, something I find tiresome and rarely resolved to my satisfaction. I’m so glad I gave it a chance though because this book, while not perfect, was absolutely a ton of fun to … Continue reading An Heiress to Remember by Maya Rodale

One of my favorite relaxing past times is to add things to my Etsy wishlist. Sometimes it’s a ring or necklace I might buy for myself as a reward for reaching a particular goal, and sometimes it’s future gift ideas for other people. Other times, it’s a way for me to admire how clever and creative people can be – that always gives me a massive lift. Here are a few things I’ve added to … Continue reading Bookish and Literary Wish List Shopping
It’s Wednesday! How are y’all doing? Is it warm where you are? Cold? The weather not cooperating for the designated season?
