Bought new, physical books yesterday for the first time in forever. B&N had the new Lisa Gardner standalone hardcover 50% off. I felt like I had to buy it on principle. Also, when Harlequin Historical closes next year it'll be nothing but a sea of cartoon covers from here on out 😭

Hope you've done some stretches, maybe have that second cup of coffee, because July's Unusual Historicals features 22 (!) titles. You can read all about them over at the Bat Cave wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2026/07/summ... #RomBkBlog #Romancelandia
