Welcome back to Wednesday! We’re officially in December. Congratulations, everyone! I had my last day at the bookstore last week and this week I’ve started a new job assisting a pretty cool research lab. They’re two very different things, but so far, I’m enjoying the change. Don’t worry, though! I’ll still be at SBTB and have plenty of book recommendations left in me. I’m also ready for my first snowfall this winter in New England. … Continue reading Links: Yarn, Self-Care, & More →

The Bawdy Bookworms box is something we’ve reviewed before. Both Redheadedgirl and Elyse have give the romance novel & sex toy themed box a try. They both had favorable things to say and, judging from their reviews, I think it’s a box that just keeps getting better. From their about page: Each month, you’ll receive a specially curated package with a smokin’ hot book plus a few sexy surprises. And yes, sometimes batteries are included. … Continue reading Product Review: Bawdy Bookworm Summer Box →
Hunt a Killer is a relatively new subscription service that may be of interest to the true crime, thriller/mystery loving members of the Bitchery. It’s essentially an ongoing, monthly puzzle that will have you poring over the contents of the box, endlessly Googling to work out each piece of “evidence” sent to you. As of right now, the cost is $30 a month with the first “season” being eight boxes long. But more on that … Continue reading Hunt a Killer Subscription Box →

Hello, Richard here. I’m Mr. Elyse and Dewey’s Morning Food Servant. I’m here to tell you about Comic Bento, a graphic novel subscription box. Years ago if someone would have told that I could get a surprise box of graphic novels shipped to me monthly, I would have been overjoyed. I have had an on-again, off-again love affair with graphic novels for decades. The off-again part generally involves my bank account. So when I was … Continue reading Subscription Box Review: Comic Bento →
NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! During FBF, we’ll be resurrecting older posts and reviews that are relevant to things we’ve published on the site this week.
