also because this will appeal to bluesky-ers specifically: it includes extensive discussion on the miracle that is childhood vaccinations because you know what a 19th century time traveler would be REALLY impressed by? Kids not dying from measles

exasperated man out of his time meets hyper competent perfectionist woman makes me so giddy when i'm reading romance especially when he has a waistcoat tooooo #romancelandia amzn.to/3VC1iDG

library kid: do you have really old books, about really old history? like from the 1980s? me, historian & library worker, internally: they could just interview me 🤧

Pretty Face is so great. I love that whole series.

Act Like It is probably my favorite grumpy/sunshine contemporary of all time

I'm slowly listening to Lessons in Magic & Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders and it is so good. perfectly cozy, yet full of rough moments that are handled with so much love & care. eerie, queer, gorgeous. i found this review and let it convince you too! ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/08/26/h...

One of the best covers ever.

Is a weird comp Pretty Face??? The way they both have the couple completely center each other really works for me.

Yes! The Worst Guy is SO good. I think I've re-read this more than any other book. You're right that the characters are perfect for each other. And Kate Canterbary did amazing work with POV. Master craft amd unbelievably sexy.

this romance book i'm re-reading (again) has truly the greatest character work that hits every emotional beat i crave in contemporary romance. these two are perfect for each other 🧵

Let's be clear here: This woman is playing monsterfucking audiobooks really loudly to annoy this man, and a character has an emotional support chicken.

okay now this 2026 debut sounds like exactly what i need to read: A Widow's Charm by Caitlyn Paxson "In this witty fantasy romance, a widow blackmails her rakish necromancer neighbor to bring her husband back to life and save her home—only to find herself falling for him instead."

I've got "The Match" on hold at my library. I really enjoy Sarah Adams!

The library is wonderful, but you have to be patient.

what is the best pen for handwriting cursive, angry, professional letters of complaint and why is it the black sharpie s-gel

Skipshock, by Caroline O'Donoghue! I am promised multiple worlds, some of which run faster or slower than others, a guild of salesmen that travel between them, and forbidden love.
