I know many romance readers are also ritual re-readers, with books they re-read or seek out at different times of year. Some folks read The Hogfather every holiday season, for example. Other people re-read a specific book once a year, but the timing is more flexible, and might be whenever the mood strikes them. I think that’s so neat, both as a unique way to celebrate a book that is precious to a person, and that … Continue reading What Are Your Annual Re-Reads?→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I enjoyed the long weekend in the States and got some great reading done. I posted up on the couch with my wonderful electric blanket while it snowed outside. I can’t remember the last time I did that. I’m sure I was also motivated by the fact that Final Fantasy XIV servers were down for an entire 24-hours and I needed to fill my time somehow. Did any of you have … Continue reading Links: Terry Pratchett, Bonsai, & More→
Hi all! It’s Wednesday! I am very tired. My partner and I made a lot of expensive, adult purchases over the weekend for the new place. I am, however, very excited to actually have a decor theme for rooms instead of a hodge podge of furniture I’ve had for over a decade. My old cat, Linus, did some crawl space exploring. You can see him here, looking absolutely filthy. All in all, things went smoothly! … Continue reading Links: The Golden Girls, Entertainment News, & More→
This is a character-focused book and is all about the romance between Jesse and Kerry, as well as the importance of family, friendship, and community. Also there’s a lot of knitting.
One Night Wife by Ainslie Paton is 99c! This is book one in The Confidence Game series and I thought we had mentioned it previously on the site, but alas, it did not already exist in our database. It’s possible I saw it from Elyse’s Goodreads because she rated it five stars.
RECOMMENDED: The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett is $1.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals; be sure to check out the rest of them! This is the first book in the much loved Discworld series. There’s magic and lots of quirky humor, though admittedly, the series isn’t for everyone. So don’t worry if you give it a shot and it’s not for you. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
RECOMMENDED: The Marriage Contract by Katee Robert is 99c! This is an arranged marriage plot in a modern setting, which I would love to see more of! The book does deal with characters in the mob, which I know is a big off-button for some readers, so FYI. Elyse’s review came out today and she gave it an A:
If you had told me that I’d really love a book about the children of two Boston mob bosses being in an arranged marriage, I’d have raised a skeptical eyebrow. But I’m so so glad that The Marriage Contract proved me wrong because I enjoyed it immensely.

Hardwired by Meredith Wild is $1.99. Sarah sat next to Wild at the 2015 RT signing and can attest to the number of readers who stopped at her table to tell her how much they loved the series. This is book 1 of the Hackers series, is BDSM-flavored erotic romance, and it has a 4.1-star average. Also, if you’d like to try before you buy, there are some chapters up on Wattpad! When I read it last night, they only had five chapters, but it looks like they’ve added even more!
