Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I have to thank all of you for the outpouring of gluten free recipes and resources in the comments and in my inbox. My partner all says thank you; the biggest thing they’re struggling with is quick and easy stuff, like ordering takeout requires more thought and consideration. Also, it’s officially wedding season! Two of my friends got married this month and we have three weddings to attend in June, … Continue reading Links: Vintage Recipes, Fairy Tales, & More

Books on Sale: The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller & More

The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller is $1.99! Admittedly, this sounds all sorts of comforting and adorable and Miller’s books have been previous staff picks at the bookstore where I worked. However, I’m always iffy on books that are positioned as women’s fiction. Do you have any experience with reading Miller’s titles?

It’s been awhile, but the television and film offerings lately seem to be Very Good! I really, really enjoyed the Black Twitter documentary on Hulu, especially that it was looking at recent history online through the lens of a powerful community and the people within it. Shana and I are going to review/discuss it here soon, but if you haven’t watched it, I recommend! I tried watching this series on the 90s – Dark Side … Continue reading Whatcha Watching?

HaBO: Tour Bus Leaves Her Stranded

This HaBO request is from Wynn, who wants to find this novella: I saw a Reddit post on r/RomanceBooks where OP posted “[WWTBC] Contemporary Novella with heartbroken English farmer”. I want to read the book so badly!! I have been searching high and low on Google and Reddit communities. I even used ChatGPT at one point to see if I could dig it up, but I have had no luck so far. Here is what … Continue reading HaBO: Tour Bus Leaves Her Stranded

Books on Sale: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett & More

RECOMMENDED: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett is $1.99! Apologies if this is a leftover KDD from the weekend. We had a guest squee review of this one:

Chilling, packed with lore, and a slow burn, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett is the type of book I’ve been looking for. Their adventure from faerie field research to two professors running like hell from a faerie nightmare kept me on the edge of my seat.

Cover Snark: Moisturizing Is Important

Scarred by Jim Snyder. A man in black boxer briefs, ankle boots, and a backwards ball cap sits on a motorbike. There's some crackly, sepia filter over the whole thing so the man's skin looks like cracked, dry earth.

Welcome back to Cover Snack! Sarah: I know we don’t need to anthropomorphize bears any more than they already are, but in my mind, this bear is yelling ENOUUUUUUGH! Amanda: There’s something so comforting about the consistency of yelling bears and wolves on shifter covers. Sarah: I want to make a compilation video of some song with a lot of hollering and just show yelling bears and wolves from shifter covers. From Pam G: I … Continue reading Cover Snark: Moisturizing Is Important

This time, we have a cozy fantasy novella, a couple non-fiction options, and a new romance anthology coming out in just a few days. Do you have any recommendations to pass along? Leave them in the comments!

Whatcha Reading? May 2024, Part Two

Cozy seat in beautiful backyard flower garden

Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re capping off the end of May 2024: Sarah:  I am reading Love of my Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood , which is about a woman who does, meets her soul mate in the waiting room for the afterlife, and gets sent back to find him, with not a lot of clues and a time limit. It’s got a lot of pop culture (especially romance) references and is so … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? May 2024, Part Two
