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

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). 🤷🏻♀️

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

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

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.

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.

Currently Reading: 🎧 Flirting with Disaster by Naina Kumar.
I did not know fire ants (in floodwaters) will try to save their colony by banding together in a raft and attacking whatever gets in their way.
