Okay for real this time. It’s time for part one of March’s Whatcha Reading. I know I jumped the gun in February. Elyse: I just started Mountains Made of Glass and so far I’m really enjoying it. Shana: I’m reading the Sum of All Kisses by Julia Quinn and wishing there was more banter. I’m also listening to the audiobook of Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships and it is amazing. Highly … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? March 2023, Part One→
It’s that time everyone! Gather ’round and tell us what you’ve been reading lately! Elyse: I just started King of Wrath by Ana Huang. Shana: I just finished Even Though I Knew the End by CL Polk. It’s a hardboiled period mystery set in an alternate Chicago, with a lesbian love story. I am totally in love with the heroine, a detective with sexy noir-ish vibes who’s trying to catch a magical serial killer and … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? Feb 2023, Part Two→
Hey all, it’s February! Whatcha reading? Tara: I finished the duology from Lee Winter that I was reading last time. The Fixer was great, but Chaos Agent… I can’t stop thinking about it. Together, they make for a contemplative, thought-provoking interrogation of whether a villain can be truly redeemed, as well as an excellent romance. Claudia: This sounds amazing! Unfortunately I’m not very enthused by the stuff I’m reading right now, hoping something good will … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2023, Part One→
It’s that time! Time for you to tell us what you’re reading! EllenM: After a long period of being totally bored by and sick of most historical romance, I’m suddenly finding myself enjoying it again! Just finished A Scandalous Kind of Duke by Mia Vincy which was delightfully full of pining and longing. I also may have stayed up way too late last night binging the first couple volumes of the manga series My Boss’s … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? January 2023, Part Two→
It’s the first Whatcha Reading of 2023! How are we all starting off? Strong? A big of a slump? Shana: I just glommed I Like You Like That by Kayla Grosse in a day. I don’t read a lot of bodyguard romances, but this hit the spot for me. Next up on my TBR is Asia Monique’s Flower Sisters series . Each book is themed around a heroine’s love language. I’m starting with the “words … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? January 2023, Part One→
It’s that time, everyone! Time to tell us Whatcha Reading! This is the last Whatcha Reading of the year. Thank you all for another amazing year and for being part of this great community. I’m sure our TBR piles have ended a little (or perhaps a lot) heavier than when we started in January. See you in 2023! … Lara: I’m trying to push the reset button on my reading so I’m giving short stories … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? December 2022, Part Two→
It’s our first Whatcha Reading of December, which means we’re nearly toward the end of 2022! Now, let’s talk books! Claudia: I’m reading Killers of a Certain Age and mulling over my own hit list! Shana: Do you think it gets longer the older we live? Sarah: Yes. My theory is that the reason menopause is not talked about much (until recently anyway) is because as we enter menopause we have a lot more free … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? December 2022, Part One→
We’re wrapping up November, which means part two of Whatcha Reading for the month! Have you been doing any reading to escape holiday socializing? Or still too full from Thanksgiving leftovers to even think about reading? Shana: I’ve been having a tough time reading lately. But I did start the audiobook of A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske. I love it so far. Sneezy: I’m flying through To Melt Your Frozen Heart I’d been meaning to … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2022, Part Two→
It’s that time again! We want to know what you’ve been reading! Lara: I did a brave/stupid thing and started a book from Julie Anne Long’s back catalogue. Heroine is 17 and hero is 29! DNF! Dear internet, I would like a list of older historical romances that I can read without plucking my eyes from my head. (Hit me up with links!) Sarah: I am reading Tranquility by Tuesday, which is about using nine … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? November 2022, Part One→
We are wrapping up October, which means it’s our second Whatcha Reading of the month! Carrie: I just finished The Brightest Star in Paris and I loved it despite feeling like it was at least two different books smooshed together! Shana: I’ve read so many good books lately, hopefully I can continue this trend. Right now I’m reading You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi. I started it ages ago … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2022, Part Two→
It’s October! My favorite time of year! For me, this is the start to cozy reading. Here’s what we’re kicking off the month with at SBTB HQ: Elyse: I’ve been knitting A LOT lately so I haven’t been reading as much. I’ve been rereading 52 Weeks of Socks by Laine. Sarah: I just re-read Hither Page by Cat Sebastian, and it was just as lovely the second time. Susan: That’s a weird coincidence because I … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? October 2022, Part One→
September is wrapping up and that means it’s time for our second Whatcha Reading of the month. We want to hear all about your reading highs and lows! Elyse: I just started The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths. It’s spooky season and I want spooky! Lara: I was influenced by Sarah. I’m reading Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn and I’m loving it! Claudia: I am at the very beginning of Sailor’s Delight … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? September 2022, Part Two→
