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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

F1's US TV rights fee could at least double, according to one media analyst, who thinks it may run into the "hundreds of millions."
With interest from streaming giants likely, the next deal will have a huge impact on the sport 💰

Netflix? ESPN? Amazon? Why the race for F1’s U.S. TV rights could change the sport
F1’s broadcast rights in the U.S are up for renewal at the end of the year. The outcome of the deal will be critical to the sport's fortunes

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.

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.

Seconded. Also, it's available zero cents on Hoopla, if your library brings that to you.
They are *wrong*. The Cutting Edge is a delightful, perfectly plotted romance.
The Cutting Edge is on sale for $4.99 on digital at Apple (probably elsewhere too) I think it’s free on Prime right now. I was shocked to see that squishy tomato on the rating. So many incorrect critics.

How did I not even KNOW about this? 🏃🏻♀️
Rick Astley's just released memoir, Never: The Autobiography is just delightful. I strongly suggest listening in Audible, as he narrates his story and is fantastic. You'll be so surprised at the depth of his story. Loved it.
