    Tessa Dare's book HAS A COVER! I've been waiting for this one forever. I hope that means it will actually come out.

    Can't wait to see what Sarah MacLean's next book does. I found the last one hard to get through, though I think it was just me. My favorite of that series so far has been the second one.

    And can't wait for whatever Courtney Milan does next.

      I know!! It's been such a long wait for her new one. I really hope it does actually come out this year.

      I'm also very curious about Duchess's book. I loved the second in this current series as well. Adelaide and Clayborn were a delight, and sometimes I struggle with road trip novels. But I loved that one.

      Courtney Milan can do no wrong. This particular series, The Wedgeford Trials, is just so soft and caring—two traits that sometimes I'm not in the mood for. But when she writes them, I am in the mood for them no question.

      I hear you on the soft and caring, but I sure needed it this year! I love the Wedgeford Trials books, and I really loved The Devil Comes Courting. In the Wedgeford Trials books, it's always great to me that the big, big things turn out to be not so big. They're like a warm hug in book form.

      I needed it is exactly it. I've got to get to The Devil Comes Courting. I have a copy but haven't started it yet.

    Many of these are on my list. I'm also excited for the Simone St. James book, Heather Webber's latest, the next cozy fantasy romance by Sangu Mandanna, Julia Anne Long's newest, A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen, The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden, the Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst, and the newest Silvia Moreno-Garcia book. I also want to catch up on ones I've missed and fallen behind on, too. I love this time of year for these posts. Thank you!

Bibliocrack Review | You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see:  The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes ,  basically every book in  The Cabots series , and of course  We Could Be So Good .  And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just  take care of each other  as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other.  Only two things in the world people count by months. H

Review | The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vols. 1 & 2 by Beth Brower

I feel a bit giddy finally talking to you all about this series. If you'll remember, I fell madly in love with The Q  when it came out a few years ago. Now, Beth Brower is writing The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion — a series of novellas set in London in 1883. Each volume is an excerpt from the incorrigible Emma's journals, and the first two volumes are already available with the third on the way soon. I think they'd make rather perfect pandemic reading. Humorous and charming down to their bones, they're just what the doctor ordered to lift your spirits in this uncertain time that just proves to be too much some days. If you're experiencing one of those days, I suggest giving Volume 1   a go (it's only 99 cents on Kindle, $4.99 for a trade paperback copy). It will surprise exactly none of you that I own print and digital editions of both volumes.  Miss Emma M. Lion has waited long enough. Come hell or high water (and really, given her track record,  both a

The Year Fic Saved Me

Once upon a time, January came for us and proclaimed itself supremely uninterested in taking prisoners. Under the sustained assault, there were simply too many avenues of stress tearing into my brain. On one side of the field stood so many books (as they have always been there for me) ready to be read—to help. And on the other side loomed a distressing number of chasms inside me desperate to find solace and reprieve. But the two could not meet. No matter how many peace talks I attempted to broker.  In February, in a move so unprecedented that I can only describe it as a lifeline thrown down into the deepest of the chasms, my exhausted mind decided it would be a good idea to finally give fanfiction a whirl. Now, there's no getting around the fact that for someone who has read as many novels that involve fic in some way or another as I have—seriously, novels that began as fic, novels written by authors who got their start writing fic, novels about characters who write/illustrate/love
