Welcome back to our Eurovision coverage as seen through the eyes of a somewhat sleep-deprived Australian at 5am! This review is absolutely full of links to YouTube clips of the performances, and as always, some of them don’t work in the US. We have done our best to find versions that are visible on both sides of the globe, so if the first clip doesn’t work for you, scroll a little bit further, because the … Continue reading Stuff We Love: Eurovision 2021
Ed note: I (Sarah) strongly recommend you open this post in a new tab, then open all the links in subsequent tabs and savor each one individually. It’ll take awhile. It’ll be worth it- trust me. It took me over an hour to edit this, partially because I was making sure the links were accessible geographically, and partially because I was watching song after song. Repeatedly. I am now so high on Eurovision Endorphins I … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Eurovision!
CW/TW: Sexual harassment Some of you know that I’ve been doing guest reviews here at SBTB for a couple of years. So when it came time to choose a book for my first review as an official part of the team, I knew it had to be this one. It’s my favourite book of all time and to read it is to know me, so what better way to introduce myself? Jill “Friday” Fryman is … Continue reading Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan & Salem West
I spent one weekend reading The Thing About Love, and it was so enjoyable and so much fun that knowing that I still had more of it to read left me in the best mood. It lifted my entire weekend, and when people ask me about it, I grin and wave my hands around and make Good Book Noise® (and then those people probably regret asking me). Synopsis time! FBI Special Agent Jessica Harlow has relocated home to Chicago … Continue reading The Thing About Love by Julie James
This review could easily end up being 6500 words long. I don’t think it will, but holy smokes is there SO MUCH TO SAY. First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a … Continue reading An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole
This book might be receiving a lot of attention and the reason is, it’s pretty wonderful. I can’t go back to my copy for quotes for this review because I end up reading it again and I already lost too much time and sleep trying to make myself stop reading it. Lucy Hutton is the executive assistant to one of the co-CEOs of a recently merged publishing company. Her nemesis and office mate, Joshua Templeman, is the … Continue reading The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
So after book blogging for 11+ years, “HEY NEW BOOK” usually brings on raised eyebrows or very quick reading of a synopsis. It’s not that I’m jaded or unimpressed, but with SO MANY BOOKS published EVERY FREAKING DAY it’s a never-ending ball pit of joy, if the balls were books, which would hurt, now that I think about it, except they’re mostly ebooks in my world, so the pit is really really metaphorical at this … Continue reading SQUEE ALERT! Lisa Kleypas Announces Next Book: Devil in Spring!
