Welcome back to Links! We’re about a month out from Thanksgiving and I’m slowly working on my share of the menu. For the past couple years, we’ve done an “all sides” Thanksgiving, because I don’t want to bother with a turkey. It’s just two of us and even a breast would probably be too much. I also think sides are the best part of the holiday anyway. My partner is usually in charge of the … Continue reading Links: Birding, a New Romance Bookstore, & More→
Welcome back! For me, I think things are best described as busy, but boring. My wedding dress has officially been dropped off for alterations, our household is obsessed with Hades II, and I’m already eager for winter vacation. The tourism in my area is about to hit its peak and I don’t love it. That being said, October is absolutely flying. Does anyone else feel the same way? Anything exciting on your calendar or are you in … Continue reading Links: Quilt Shows, Kresley Cole, & More→
Welcome back! This week has given me the first hint of fall. I love a crispy morning. We’re also in the middle of getting a new porch since the old one had only a couple years left anyway. I can’t wait to enjoy a coffee on the new one, wrapped in a big ol’ blanket. Aside from that, I’ve been fully on the Hades II train. Anyone else with me? … Libro.fm is hosting a “read-in” … Continue reading Links: Emily Henry, Banned Books, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! Anyone else ready for the weekend? The last couple weeks have been busier than usual with social obligations and errands, and I’m ready to be a hermit! For all my gamers, there’s going to be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow (6am PT/9am ET). Rumors are there may be an Animal Crossing announcement, and possible a release date for Hades II (though I’ve been playing early access and it’s fantastic). What are your weekend plans? … This link … Continue reading Links: Gaming, Events, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are we all doing? Did anyone take part in the No Kings protest or any Pride festivities this past weekend? Boston had both on the same day. I loved seeing cities and towns, big and small, congregate in support of protecting their communities. I’m not a big fan of the summer and it usually flies by in a bit of a haze, but I’m even more eager to get … Continue reading Links: Video Games, Museums, & More→
Hello, everyone! We have a slightly different Rec League this week. On a bonus episode of the podcast, which we release for SBTB Podcast Patreon members, Sarah asked me to come up with some fall gaming recs. Well, I definitely overdid it and had twenty in a matter of ten minutes. Most of these are cozy games, with a couple of exceptions. If you are a fellow cozy gamer, allow me to plug Wholesome Games. … Continue reading The Rec League: Video Games for Fall→
Welcome back to Links! Thank you all for the well wishes last week. Engaged life has been great and I’m still basking in the bliss of celebrating with my person. I was also able to usher in the fall season with my first batch of chili! We have a family recipe (it’s nothing fancy) and it really hit the spot, complete with some crusty bread for dunking. Do any of you have a favorite seasonal … Continue reading Links; Fashion, Cat Cafes, & More→
Good morning! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We’re a little light on content today, so that means you get Links several hours early. Did any of you attend the Lady Eve’s Last Con event that Sarah hosted? I want to hear all about it if you did! I honestly can’t remember the time I attended a book event as just a fan (and not someone running it). What was the last bookstore event you attended? The … Continue reading Links: Video Games, Romantasy, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We are roasting here in New England! I’ve been going hard on lots of crisp, fresh salads. My partner and I are in the midst of lots of planning – ring designing, elopement planning, house buying stuff. Wow, is it overwhelming and not super easy to find a central list of resources. However, we’ve started doing Planning Tuesdays, where we dedicate an hour or so on Tuesday evenings to whittle … Continue reading Links: Bridgerton, Clay Crafts, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! I am still in South Korea and tomorrow I will celebrate my thirty-fifth birthday! Wowza! I never thought I’d be experiencing such a trip in my lifetime, let alone for a bit of a milestone occasion. I am sure Sarah is steadily steering the S.S. Smart Bitch in my absence. Oh captain, my captain! Also, we’re in mid-April now! How did that happen? The spring always feels like it flies by. Maybe … Continue reading Links: Higher Ed, Little Golden Books, & More→
Hey ho! Let’s go! Though I scheduled this post a couple weeks ago, I’m an officially in South Korea by the time you’re reading this. I’m sure I’m having a great time. We plan to do an overnight stay at a Buddhist temple and I’m most definitely going to load up on Korean beauty and skincare products. There’s also a chance some areas will still have cherry blossoms. Karaoke and ungodly amounts of Korean BBQ … Continue reading Links: Anne Hathaway, Rat Music, & More→
