Additionally from @romancingthevote.com is @darcyburkeauthor.bsky.social with "When the Viscount Seduces," @leannareneehieber.bsky.social with "Perilous Prophecy," @cathypegau.bsky.social with "The Demon Equilibrium," and if ewe know her you love her @rachelgrant.bsky.social with "Into the Storm!"
The novel "Rogue Rules: When the Viscount Seduces" by Darcy Burke sits on a bookshelf with a microfiber cleaning cloth, sticker, and pen also in view. The cloth and sticker both read, "Whatever happens in the carriage, stays in the carriage." This may or may not end up being someone's origin story later on. The cover focuses on a man and woman standing close with the woman's face partially hidden by the taller man's, and his hand digging gently into her arm as he's sliding her dress off her left shoulder. They're set against a green backdrop with a large flower and various leaves, and seem to be contemplating this moment they're having and where exactly it may lead.The novel "Perilous Prophecy" by Leanna Renee Hieber sits on a shelf with various books visible in the background. The cover focuses on a Phoenix pendant hanging against a wooden window, beyond which the busy streets of Cairo at night can be seen filled with light, people, animals, and vehicles. The novel "The Demon Equilibrium" by Cathy Pegau sits on a bookshelf with several book cover stickers, a patterned card, and a button that reads "Fight the Heteropatriarchy." The cover focuses on a shadowy male figure dressed like a man right out of a Wild West movie, eyes burning like coals and a handgun dangling from one hand by his side. Railroad tracks and dramatic geological features are highlighted by the light of sunset behind the figure, while a woman's face is superimposed over the clouds with an inquiring look over his left shoulder. The novel "Into the Storm" by Rachel Grant sits on a bookshelf with stickers and a card off to the side and other books visible in the background. The cover is in dramatic blues and greens and black, with the effect of peering through water droplets on a pane of glass out over a dark wood. Rachel is phenomenal and bore up under all my baahd ewe jokes (if ewe know ewe know), and as a consequence we should all flock to purchase her novels and enjoy her words, from any of her novels in the Evidence: Under Fire series, to the Evidence series, to the Fiona Carver novels, to the Flashpoint series, or the standalones Grave Digger and Midnight Sun!

Also from @romancingthevote.com are novels from @kateelliottsff.bsky.social - "The Witch Roads," and from @carastoutauthor.bsky.social - "The Nightmare Keeper" and "A Knight Before Christmas!"
The novel "The Witch Roads" by Kate Elliott sits on a bookshelf with a floral card visible behind it along with other books on the shelf. The concert has a variety of enormous statue figures lining a path leading either to or from a looming fortress hazy in the light of either dawn or dusk. Two small figures stand on the road in the direct sunlight. The novel "The Nightmare Keeper" by Vienna James sits on a bookshelf with a related bookmark visible, along with several other books behind the novel. The cover is an abstract symphony of reds and golds like miniature auroras at a diagonal, and bats flying by in the backdrop, a few outlined by the full moon. The novel "A Knight Before Christmas" by Cara Stout sits on a bookshelf with a related bookmark visible, along with other books in the background. The cover has a young blond man leaning against the outline of a wall, holding an armored helmet under one arm and looking up the outlined tower at a young woman with black hair, a hand radio, and a clipboard smiling and looking away from the equally smiling young man. There might be a little smugness between one or both smiles. In the foreground is a Christmas tree decorated with lights and hearts, a few presents on the plaid weave fabric at its base. Opposite is a directors chair with a sword propped up against it.

The bees include: an Ace flag bee, a sunset palette inspired bee, an ocean palette inspired bee, a WLW flag bee, and a MLM bee! Five crochet bees surround a flower with more flowers scattered between them, and several stickers nearby. The bees come in beautiful patterns such as the Ace flag, the WLW flag, the MLM flag, an ocean inspired bee, and a sunset inspired bee! A hand cradles two crochet bees. One has a white nose and an incredible ocean color palette, the other one has a brick red nose and a gorgeous sunset palette. A mailing box and table is out of focus in the background.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”
