Welcome back, everyone! How are we all doing? I can’t stop thinking about this Smitten Kitchen recipe for Pizza Beans. We ate almost all of it in one go and have been mourning the loss of leftovers. Do y’all have any recent recipes that you’re loving? I’m also hoping we’re slowly sliding into fall soon in New England. I’m a sucker for “soup season” and big, oversized sweaters. … Sarah: I was the guest this … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Reading Recs, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m currently on a social interaction hiatus and wow, does it feel great not to make plans for a while. I’m also not as motivated to leave my home when it’s above 85 degrees. No, thank you! In monumental news, our shy Toast (the cat we adopted in May who was rescued from a hoarding situation) walked up to my hand and gave it a sniff. It’s the first time … Continue reading Links: 90s TV, Strikes, & More →
Recently I devoured a book, and when I mentioned it, Shana squeed right back at me. So, enjoy our absolute squee-party about this book! Sarah: Shana, I just tore through Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade. Devoured the whole book in less than a day. Oh my gosh, there is so much to love about this book. The Pining. Top-shelf pine forest full of pining. For six years they live on that island for months and … Continue reading Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade →
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 →
I received an email from K, who asked, “I was wondering if you could do a TV show or Movie recommendation list. I have a few shows I’d like to share and I’m looking for new ones to try.” Yes, we can! In fact, we’ll do it more than once! I know it’s the start of a new month, and we just shared all the books we’re planning on reading, but I’m also curious about what … Continue reading Whatcha Watching?

It’s the first Wednesday Links of 2023! How exciting is that? You all deserve some recognition for making it through 2022 and the holiday seasons. My holiday celebrating was pretty low key. I made some cookies, spent a lot of time with my partner, and we watched my favorite movie (The Fifth Element) on New Year’s Eve. We’re traveling in a couple weeks, so we weren’t looking to go out. We also finally played the … Continue reading Links: Snow, Romance Reading, & More →
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! After two full weeks of socializing, I am so ready for a weekend of doing nothing but being a couch goblin. I went to a black tie wedding over the weekend. It was all very fancy and I rented a red, off the shoulder, trumpet/mermaid style dress for the occasion (pictures on my Instagram; shout out to Rent the Runway). My partner even went through the process of buying a tailored … Continue reading Links: Star Wars, Mercedes Lackey, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, where we collectively share cool and funny shit from around the internet. Saturday was bookstore romance day and my own panels were a blast. If you attended some virtual events, I’d love to hear about which ones you went to! Let’s get into it already, shall we? … First off, thanks to Tara for sending this my way. Author Roxane Gay posted this Google doc in a recent newsletter that … Continue reading Links: Haiti, Tabletop Games, & More →
It’s Wednesday! Did you know that? Wild, I know. This week feels a little off. I did see Black Widow last night and I’m about to dive into the great discussion we had on it. I didn’t read it yet because of spoilers. Hope you all had a great weekend, with another fantastic one in store for you in a few days! … Yes, I won’t stop talking about Ted Lasso. The new season starts on Friday … Continue reading Links: Mark Hamill, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, & More →
A recent Rec League on tortured love spawned a SBTB discussion about Asian dramas, which often have lots of pining in their romantic arcs. Not all of these are romances, but Shana and I really want to geek out about Asian dramas and hear about your recommendations too! We’ve done a few guest reviews and suggestion posts previously, but we’d love some newer options! Most, if not all of these, are available through Viki to watch. … Continue reading Stuff You Should Be Watching: Asian Dramas →
It’s the last day of June! How’s everyone feeling? We have a heat wave right now in New England and it’s the pits. My cat Linus does not care for it and does whatever he can to cool his belly off. Fourth of July weekend is almost here. Do you all have any plans? I don’t think I do just yet. … A couple weeks ago, Twitter was exclaiming their love for pigeons and why … Continue reading Links: LeVar Burton, Pigeons, & More →
