Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Reminder: #TBRChallenge Day is April 19!


Hey, hey, hey the fourth #TBRChallenge of 2023 is fast approaching! The magic day is Wednesday, April 19 and this month's (always) optional theme is Unusual Historical.

I know, you would think I came up with this theme all on my own - but it was actually a suggestion from the theme poll I ran late last year. It's very on-brand for Wendy, so of course I thought it was a great suggestion!  You can define "unusual" how you see fit, but here at the Bat Cave "the Royal We" like to focus mainly on setting, time period, and/or occupation.

That being said, remember that the themes are completely optional. Maybe you don't read historicals?  Maybe you've hit a rough patch and your comfort reading of choice are Regency historicals featuring Duke heroes?  It's OK! Remember the goal of the challenge has been, and always will be, to read something (anything!) that's been languishing in your mountain range of unread books. 

It's never too late to join the Challenge! To learn more about it and to see a list of folks participating head on over to the information page

I have two print books that I got at RWA 2017 that mostly fit; we'll see how it goes over the weekend.

(The one with the more interesting blurb is--damn my luck--a Bethany House title--not only do I have issues with the publisher, but it's obviously a Christian inspie, gog save me. The second is set in 1776 in New England, but the blurb is...let's say it says too much and too little at once. Wish me luck!)

I just finished my book - I haven't owned it for very long, but I've been wanting to read it for a couple years. Yea!!

Well this month I went with the a book that has been in my TBR for a VERY long time and it's an instance where I should have read it as a baby romance reader. I would have liked it more. Oh well!
