erinptahTaxes are done for the year, time to reward myself with some PetShopOfHorrorsposting. My readalong has reached the start of Volume 3 in the Seven Seas Collector’s Edition, which is the start of volume 4 in the original Tokyopop release.
I’m posting the individual reactions on Mastodon and Bluesky, then rounding them up in the blog. Previous roundups in my PSOH fandom tag. You can pick up the books with my affiliate links here.
One thing before I start: There’s an AO3 tag for a PSOH character called “Madam C“. She only shows up in one fic, in this chapter. Haven’t seen her in my reread yet. Anybody know what part of canon she’s from?
(There’s a “Madame” in the Sofu D spinoff manga, but she doesn’t get an initial. And this fic has “Madam C” interacting with Leon, so, probably not the 19th-century Paris woman.)
( As you can see, there are no humans here. )

Totally and Completely Fine by Elissa Sussman is $1.99! This released over the summer. Sussman’s books have been recommended in the comments. Do you have a favorite?
From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes an inspiring romance novel about honoring the past, living in the present, and loving for the future.
In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hellraiser; sister of superstar Gabe Parker; and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She’s never cared much about labels or what people thought about her, but dealing with her grief has slowly revealed that she’s become adrift in her own life.
Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother’s new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities.
There’s still plenty to contend with: small-town rumors, the complications of Ben’s fame, and her daughter’s unpredictable moods. An unexpected fling seemed simple at the time—so when did everything with Ben get so complicated? And is there enough room in her life for the woman Lauren wants to be? Alternating between Lauren’s past with Spencer and her present with Ben, Totally and Completely Fine illuminates what it means to find a life-changing love and be true to oneself in the process.
The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles is 99c! Take note that this had a cover change and was given a new ISBN, so double check if you have this already. This book was almost recommend in two Rec Leagues: Papa Bears and No Bleak Moment.
Robin Loxleigh and his sister Marianne are the hit of the Season, so attractive and delightful that nobody looks behind their pretty faces.
Until Robin sets his sights on Sir John Hartlebury’s heiress niece. The notoriously graceless baronet isn’t impressed by good looks, or fooled by false charm. He’s sure Robin is a liar—a fortune hunter, a card sharp, and a heartless, greedy fraud—and he’ll protect his niece, whatever it takes.
Then, just when Hart thinks he has Robin at his mercy, things take a sharp left turn. And as the grumpy baronet and the glib fortune hunter start to understand each other, they also find themselves starting to care—more than either of them thought possible.
But Robin’s cheated and lied and let people down for money. Can a professional rogue earn an honest happy ever after?
The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong is $4.99! We featured this in Cover Awe on Monday and it came out November 2024. If you’re still waiting on holds, pick this one up.
A wandering fortune teller finds an unexpected family in this warm and wonderful debut fantasy, perfect for readers of Travis Baldree and Sangu Mandanna.
Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells “small” fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…
Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a knead for adventure, and—of course—a slightly magical cat.
Tao sets down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past are closing in—and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.
The Friendship Fling by Georgia Stone is $1.99! This is a friends to lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance. The cover is cute!
In this delightfully charming and heartfelt debut love story, two lonely and wildly different strangers embark on a short-term friendship over one London summer—only to discover they may be something more by the time the season ends.
No one would ever call Ava Monroe a people person, which isn’t ideal for a barista in a busy London coffee shop. She’s sarcastic, blunt, and cynical, and her relationships are strictly no strings attached. With her best friend Josie soon leaving for a year, Ava knows she’ll be all alone unless she shakes up her routine. But she can’t risk bringing chance back into her carefully controlled life.
Then insufferably cheerful, country-hopping, undeniably gorgeous Finn O’Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with a horrifying proposal —a strictly friends-only summer fling. Finn needs a local to help him complete his London bucket list, and Ava needs to reassure Josie she won’t be on her own. And it’s only for a few months.
To Ava’s surprise, their mismatched friendship of convenience becomes oddly tolerable, and as they work their way through Finn’s list and around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights at the museum, their adventures—and Finn’s company—start to feel . . . nice. Incredibly, terrifyingly, dangerously nice.
Still, rules are rules—Ava has good reasons for them—and as the days get shorter, Finn’s departure gets closer. Because that’s the thing about it always ends. Right?

This Rec League request is brought to you, selfishly, by me!
I want mafia romances but in a fantasy or sci-fi setting. GET ME OFF THIS PLANET.
Elyse: Oh. Now I want that too.
Shana: Taken to Kor by Elizabeth Stephens ( A | BN ) has space pirates. I’m not sure if that counts. It’s a dark romance. I’m not sure how well it would work as a standalone.
Susan: Hana Maruko’s Love Gamble With the Mafia ( A ) is sort-of fantasy; the protagonist gets reincarnated into the romance game she’s playing, obviously as the villainess, and decides that her best chance of survival is to team up with one of the game’s love interests. And by “team up with” I mean “match the freak of” and by “love interest” I mean “amoral assassin whose route is like 90% bad ends.”
It’s silly and melodramatic, but in a way that really scratches at the right parts of my brain
There’s Jordan L. Hawk’s Blind Tiger, ( A | BN | K | AB ) which is alternate history magical bootleggers?
What romances would you recommend? Let us know in the comments!
smartbitches_feedTW/CW: The following post contains discussion of medical procedure, medical anxiety, and chronic illness.
I just finished Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas and it is easily an A+ book. The book took me by the hand and led me through some of the scariest days in my recent life. For the moments that I was reading that book, my external world, hell, even my internal world, was reshaped and replaced by a book so all-consuming that it demanded every part of me. There were no parts of me left to worry about my present or future.I did try and focus only on the story when I sat down to write this piece. I dutifully copied and pasted the blurb in this word document and attempted to explain how and why the book transported me so. But I do not have Sherry Thomas’ writing abilities. I could not separate myself out from the last intense few days, nor her characters from my emotions. The latter were simply too loud. Too demanding of my space and time. They had been in abeyance while I was reading, but now they demanded their moment. So, dear bitches, my emotions have the reins.
It’s 21:54, I have a carefully meted out tranquiliser on board and a swamp inside me. In 2021, I wrote about my disease, idiopathic subglottal stenosis, shortly after a couple weeks in a psychiatric clinic trying to get to grips with the changes happening in my life. Then it was Regency romance that I turned to and I tried to understand why.
I see now with the return of my symptoms that I’ve made that switch once again. I read a contemporary every few books, but it is historical romance that is holding me together right now.
I thought the return of my disease after years of remission would hit me like a thunderbolt all at once. Instead it has been a jagged slide into uncertainty, into that swamp. There were the moments I noticed a change in my breathing and chose to ignore it. The moment where other people started noticing and still I chose to ignore it. I pushed and shoved and WILLED the question of ‘active disease’ so far down in my psyche that it was suffocated.It was my mother noticing my breathing and seeing the plain worry on her face that prompted me to finally book a check up. The check up, a triggering event in itself, revealed nothing. The scope couldn’t see either way. I had Schrodinger’s trachea. So a CT scan was scheduled. That happened today.
Here my slide into uncertainty accelerated. There was the painful familiarity of getting admitted to yet another hospital. It had been so long and yet it felt that no time had passed. I handed over my ID and medical aid card and felt sick to my stomach. There were the bloods to be drawn and drips to be set up. There was the scan to be done which required some very vigorous visualisation on my part, remembering spa days with my best friend and how carefree I had felt then. I desperately clung to the hope that I could feel that carefree again as I glimpsed the innards of the large circular machine through its slim glass panel as it spun around me until it blurred and my eyes couldn’t see details. Then, the wait for the results.
You know who was with me for the wait? Gigi and Camden, the leads of Private Arrangements. While I hungered for the reassurance of friends and family, I turned away from it all and hid instead, in a book. The intensity of their love struck them senseless, unable to function normally, unable to make sense of this new world that had appeared to them – similar to how I felt in the CT tube being scanned.
Then the results. Would this be the bolt of lightning that struck me? No. The report wasn’t ready but I was discharged because there were big discussions to be had about my treatment first. The doctor didn’t have the report but she did have images from the scan. There I saw it, in unrelenting black and white, through a fingerprint smudged cellphone screen. My trachea has narrowed. A lot.
Still it did not hit me. I had to get home and take care of my daughter. She needed her supper, her bath, her bedtime routine as she fell asleep in my arms. I didn’t tell my parents what I saw, only that the report wasn’t ready yet. I whispered to my partner, while the bath was running, that the scan showed something. Something potentially very bad. But we just don’t know for certain.
Still no thunderbolt. I hid some more. Now Gigi and Camden were turning towards each other like the most faithful sunflowers towards Mr Golden Sun (Ms Rachel’s name for the celestial body). Could this be? Could they, after endless tribulations, find their way together. They could and they did and I cannot tell you how much I needed that escape and that happiness.
And then quietly, not a thunderbolt of adrenaline at all, but a steadily rising tide pushing up through me and crowding out my thoughts, a pulsating swamp swallowing me whole. I felt the realisation that from this point on, my life is going to take a different turn to the one I hoped. The surgeries the doctor spoke of as possibilities are major, life-altering things and I’m terrified. Camden and Gigi had done all they could. Their story was told and so mine pushed brusquely to the surface. The truth will out. I am sick again. I don’t know the details yet. It might take weeks, months of consultations and second opinions before a treatment plan is in place. As that rising tide of emotions choked me out, I did the only thing I could think to do, write about it. Let it pour out of my fingers, relieving some of the pressure building up in me.
Only now I’ve created space for the rest of my life to flood back in as well. My mom, in hospital with an as yet mystery illness, but getting a bit sicker every day. My partner who was made redundant. Even my law school studies found their way back into my thoughts. How hopeful and determined I had been when I started my studies. What impact would my disease have on those around me? What impact would it have on me?So what am I doing about it? I’m going to read some more.
I’m going to read the third book in Sherry Thomas’s London Trilogy: His at Night.
And after that’s done, I’m going to read another historical romance.
And I’m going to keep doing that until I have an action plan. I’ll put the books down long enough to meet with doctors and take care of other aspects of my life. But I will pick them up again as surely as I overcook my rice (which is always).
Romance novels are only one of the arrows in my mental health quiver. I have a thoughtful, insightful, responsive psychiatrist and a therapist who is always available for emergencies. I am blessed to have them. I have a close circle of friends and family who I can rely on. And while I might occasionally ostrich myself away from reality, I always always return to it and face it head on, just once I’ve built up some strength. Romance novels give me the quiet space I need to gird my emotional loins and face my circumstances with clarity.
Reading romance novels got me through this disease once before and I’m counting on it to do the same again.
Have romances gotten you through really difficult times? Which ones?
snopes_feederinptahDown to 939 fandoms total. (Only 26 currently have any tags to wrangle.)
I’m keeping up the pace of “shedding about 100 per month.” Still working on the second A-to-Z sweep, just finished with the P’s.
Also, still chipping away at recruiting “wranglers who aren’t over-the-limit” to pick up unwrangled Religion/Mythology/Folklore fandoms. I’m doing a little basic research on each one first. Someone with the right cultural/research background will always be better at spotting subtle inaccuracies, but for the fandoms that don’t get a wrangler like that, at least I can request fixes for anything really glaring.
Latest win: figuring out that this Ukranian “Folk Tale” fandom needs a rename, because all the fic is actually for the adorable 2024 cartoon Pravda & Kryvda. (11-minute pilot, free on Youtube.) Ukranian folklore-inspired with angel/demon vibes (I’m 0% surprised the artist has also done Good Omens fanart), extremely f/f shippy, has a fascinating “they were created around the same time but now there’s an overt age gap” dynamic…yeah, okay, I’m subscribing.
AMT updates: With the Madoka subtags approved, I went ahead and made the new Fake News tree request last week. (Basically the draft proposal I shared in February, with some slight tweaks.) Still no response to the behind-the-scenes question I mentioned in March…so yeah, I’m going forward on the premise of “if it’s that unimportant, it won’t be a roadblock.”

The Muse of Maiden Lane by Mimi Matthews is $1.99 and a KDD! This is book four in The Belles of London series. I don’t think we’ve featured this one on sale before, but the series is highly recommended.
A 2024 BookBub Best Historical Romance!
One of Parade’s Best New Books of November 2024!
One of Amazon’s and Apple’s Best Romance Books of November 2024!
A silver-haired equestrienne and a charismatic artist turn a scandalous bargain into a vibrant portrait of love.
Stella Hobhouse is a brilliant rider, stalwart friend, skilled sketch artist—and completely overlooked. Her outmodish gray hair makes her invisible to London society. Combined with her brother’s pious restrictions and her dwindling inheritance, Stella is on the verge of a lifetime marooned in Derbyshire as a spinster. Unless she does something drastic…like posing for a daring new style of portrait by the only man who’s ever really seen her.
Aspiring painter Edward “Teddy” Hayes knows true beauty when he sees it. He would never ask Stella to risk her reputation as an artist’s model but in the five years since a virulent bout of scarlet fever left him partially paralyzed, Teddy has learned to heed good fortune when he finds it. He’ll do anything to persuade his muse to pose for him, even if he must offer her a marriage of convenience.
After all, though Teddy has yearned to trace Stella’s luminous beauty on canvas since their chance meeting, her heart is what he truly aches to capture….
Island Queen by Vanessa Riley is $2.99 and a KDD! This is Riley’s first work of historical fiction as opposed to historical romance. It’s about Dorothy Kirwan Thomas, a free Black woman who achieved great wealth. Have you read it?
A remarkable, sweeping historical novel based on the incredible true life story of Dorothy Kirwan Thomas, a free woman of color who rose from slavery to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful landowners in the colonial West Indies.
Born into slavery on the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat, Doll bought her freedom—and that of her sister and her mother—from her Irish planter father and built a legacy of wealth and power as an entrepreneur, merchant, hotelier, and planter that extended from the marketplaces and sugar plantations of Dominica and Barbados to a glittering luxury hotel in Demerara on the South American continent.
Vanessa Riley’s novel brings Doll to vivid life as she rises above the harsh realities of slavery and colonialism by working the system and leveraging the competing attentions of the men in her life: a restless shipping merchant, Joseph Thomas; a wealthy planter hiding a secret, John Coseveldt Cells; and a roguish naval captain who will later become King William IV of England.
From the bustling port cities of the West Indies to the forbidding drawing rooms of London’s elite, Island Queen is a sweeping epic of an adventurer and a survivor who answered to no one but herself as she rose to power and autonomy against all odds, defying rigid eighteenth-century morality and the oppression of women as well as people of color. It is an unforgettable portrait of a true larger-than-life woman who made her mark on history.
The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean is $2.99! I mentioned this on Get Rec’d for people who want horror with bookish themes. Please check triggers for this one, as I remember it being pretty graphic!
Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book’s content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.
Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon—like all other book eater women—is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairytales and cautionary stories.
But real life doesn’t always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger—not for books, but for human minds.
Sylvia’s Second Act by Hillary Yablon is $2.99! This features a heroine who is starting over at sixty-three and it looks very fun! Shana was reading it in a previous Whatcha Reading.
Her husband’s cheating on her. She hates Boca. Sylvia is mad and she isn’t going to take it anymore. She’s moving back north, to the city of her dreams—with her best friend, Evie, in tow. Think a screwball comedy featuring a sophisticated Thelma and Louise with martinis in hand . . .
When sixty-three-year-old Sylvia finds her husband in bed with the floozy of their Boca retirement community, she’s shocked and furious . . . at first. By the time her head stops spinning, Sylvia realizes that actually, this isn’t what she wants anymore anyway.
So she enlists her best friend, the glamorous older widow Evie, to join her in setting up a new life in Manhattan. Sylvia’s ex-husband may have lost her life savings, but Sylvia and Evie are scrappy and determined, unopposed to pawning jewelry and roughing it in tiny apartments. And before long, Sylvia signs on to revive her decades-old wedding planning business with a former professional rival. Sylvia has a lot to prove, and beneath it all, she can’t help but wonder: Will she ever be able to get back into the dating game?
Sylvia doesn’t want to be twenty-five or thirty again. Her age gives her wisdom, experience, and perspective. A career, sex, fun, and a new romance—her entire second act is stretched out in front of her, beckoning to her. It’s her time, and watch out, world, Sylvia is coming!
