Rex “TW” McMurtry’s perpetual single-hood wouldn’t bother him so much if all his ex-girlfriends didn’t keep marrying the very next person they dated, especially when so many of those grooms are his closest friends. He may be a pro-football defensive end for the Chicago Squalls, but the press only wants to talk about how he’s always a groomsman and never a groom. Rex is sick of being the guy before the husband, and he’s most definitely sick of being the best man at all their Continue Reading

Angela’s Favorite Books of 2022

Kate H’s Favorite Books of 2022
I didn't plan this, but I think 90% of the books I read in 2022 were m/m romances. Season's Change by Cait Nary is probably what kicked it off. There's a lot of variation within m/m, just like in romance in general and I have hundreds of books yet to read. My "own voices" list for m/m romances all by itself could keep me busy for months and months. I also discovered this year that I have a few romance pet peeves. I only became a romance zealot two years ago, so I guess my honeymoon period is Continue Reading

I’m not sure I actually logged every book, maybe that's what happened? Or, I'm just lame. :) Anyway…below are my top reads. Let me know what your favorite books were, too! The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller- I started listening to this in December 2021 and finished in January 2022. I still think about this book. Continue Reading
