First, let me just put this book right at the top so you don’t miss it. What’s this? Careless People is a memoir about Meta aka Facebook, written by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former employee of Facebook from 2011 to 2017. This memoir is revealing to everybody how very, very fucked up things are over there. Spoiler: it is indeed very, very fucked up. But wait, there’s more. This is quite a tale, and it’s still … Continue reading Careless People and Barbra Streisand →

Meanwhile in rehearsal, something is … Continue reading Flesh and Bone Episode 4: Boogie Dark →
Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This Help a Bitch Out (HaBO) request is from Erin, who is looking for a historical she read a long while ago: I have a HaBO request! I’m looking for the title of a Regency historical I read within the last few years (probably published ~5-10 years ago). It starts with two sisters and their father living in their country home.

I love contemporary sports romances. I may not be fully invested in contemporaries as a whole, but put a muscled up man in a snug-fitting uniform and I’m there. But this…this was not what I had in mind. Moving to New England has certainly instilled in me a love of the Patriots, and I am no stranger to the nice butts filling out the roster (Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, and of course, Rob Gronkowski).
