I love the Veronica Speedwell series, but I have to say, I keep hoping that Deanna Raybourn will do a JJ Butterworth spinoff. (Sometimes you just have to put these things out in the universe). #historicalmystery

Uzma Jalaluddin wrote a cozy mystery?! Who was gonna tell me? Out May 6.

There's no way this should be a dead heat.
Zany Aussies who fall in love while training to dance their own steps at the Pan Pacific Grand Prix forevaaaaaa.
DailyWaffle.com got a glow up and I decided to stress myself out on a Sunday morning pushing it live. I'm not a web dev, so there's nothing like the push hanging at 95%, looking like it's almost there. And you're thinking, please go. Please just go.
It took 3 tries before it completed. STRESS.
I thought for sure you guys would be all about the big Mr. Darcy energy in Fire Island!
The Forty Elephants by Erin Bledsoe. Hannah Curtis does the audio, and it's fab.
Queens of London by Heather Webb.
If you get hooked on the Forty Elephants while watching A Thousand Blows on Hulu, I got two historical fiction recs for you. These are the Alice Diamond era (she succeeds Mary Carr), but so good.
P.S. Hannah Curtis does the audio on The Forty Elephants and it's👩🏻🍳💋 #booksky
Two raccoons climbing a tree and keeping an eye on me and my dog as we walked past.
Trash pandas climbing a tree on this AM’s walk. Usually we see a coyote, but this today we got these guys.
This is bonkers. I Punched Keanu Reeves vs. Leggo. I mean, I can't. (I did, but really, I can't).
I'm noticing everyone saying F175 was great was there for free or as part of work. I need to hear from people who PAID for a ticket if it was really that great.
Gotta be Sleepless! Great lines — Magic, MFEO; a killer soundtrack (not just one song);Bill Pullman as Walter. It’s the full package!
Front dust jacket flap of Jude Deveraux’s The Taming that notes “Book Club Edition”
They could be! The book club editions say it on the flap (but a couple of the JDs I have don’t and they’re the ones that have ISBNs). 🤷🏻♀️
5 hardcover romances by Jude Deveraux standing vertically.
Fellow historical romance collectors, is there a reliable database / list of hardcover Book Club Editions from the late 80s/early 90s? I have a few Jude Deverauxs that have ISBNs, but also a Johanna Lindsey that does not. 🤔 #Booksky

Tony the Tiger on McLaren’s new livery: “They’re GRRRReat!”
Interesting read from a money perspective. It would be nice if it F1 was included in something I already subscribe to...
But I'll stick with F1TV because I want everything from practice to quali to the race. I'm not just turning up on Sunday.
US cover of On the Grid by Luke Smith features a not quite sunset shot of a Ferrari F1 car in Abu Dhabi against a golden hour palm tree shot.
UK cover of On the Grid by Luke Smith, features a shot of 6 F1 cars lined up on the track, as they would be, parked on the grid. Red Bull, can't tell, Mercedes, Ferrari, Alpine, can't tell.
I think we need a dust jacket exchange program. Because while I ordered the US edition of On the Grid, because B&N preorder sale, I really prefer that UK cover.
US drops March 18; UK drops Feb. 13
I'm filing this pro-tip away for next time!
What the what? That DQ wasn't even on my radar!
I'll take any bit of good news I can get over here.
I've read 3 in the Debut category. That's gonna be a tough one for the judges!
The Rehearsals by Annette Christie cover.
Did someone say time loop? Let me rec The Rehearsals by Annette Christie. A couple calls off their wedding at the rehearsal dinner and wakes up the next day to find they're in a time loop. Contemporary fic w/ romantic elements.
It'll have you listening to Pictures of You by the Cure on repeat.
LOL. ChiPs was a Saturday night staple when I was a kid. The crazy part is, the captain is Chris Pine's dad!!
Too many people just said, who's Erik Estrada? 🤣
Cover of On the Grid by Luke Smith, out March 18, 2025.
I'm in a non-fiction phase. Last, Now...don't know what's next. #booksky #Formula1 #audiobooks
Def see if you’re eligible for online. Super easy and you can take your own photo.
Yin Yang Love Song by Lauren Kung Jessen.
I was surprised at how few of my indie bookstore follows featured Yin Yang Love Song in their new release stacks, especially with #LunarNewYear starting today.
Fake dating, rock cellists, a generational curse, and aunties who always have your back. Out now.
I’ve compiled a NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT starter pack which includes the contributors who have a Bluesky account so far. 🙂

It was a short lived career! 🤣
