Once upon a time, covers told you exactly what you were going to get, although in this case, the cover couldn't really prepare you lol.

I was looking through my physical books and had to share. I swear I own Rejar too but I can't find it 😭

Fearleading Squad, by Mary P. Sue

She was perfect... First, Avery's friends all started falling under the spell of the new transfer student from L.A. Perfectly...evil. Then, one by one, people started to disappear. What is Tiffany Bright's dark secret? Joining the cheer team seems like the only way to uncover the truth. But Tiffany's had her eye on Avery, too. And now she's got Avery right where she wants her...

Hey, remember the section of the library or the bookstore where all the R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike paperbacks for older teens were shelved? Remember rambling through that section and pulling them down so you could flip open the front cover with its little die-cut window and see the full cover painting in all its spooky, lit-from-below glory? Remember the lurid, absurd plot summaries full of murder, madness, and mayhem - all set in the glossy mallrat world of being a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s? Well, maybe you don't, but here's your chance to approximate the experience!

Evil cheerleaders, the Satanic Panic, high school friendship drama, and murder all combine to ruin an innocent gothic rocker's senior year in this short and sweet horror novella. If you liked Netflix's Fear Street trilogy, Grady Hendrix' My Best Friend's Exorcism, Heathers, Jennifer's Body, or the fan favourite new kids on the block from Stranger Things season four, this might be up your alley.

This original novella is complete, with six chapters and an epilogue. Updates will be posted every Thursday.

Hey—

Just as a heads up, a stepback first edition of When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath (an exceptionally difficult book to find in stepback form in my experience) is available on Pango through one of my favorite sellers!

It took me months to find this before, and now she has it! So if you truly love Rum on Lips or are collecting Lorraine Heath stepbacks (she doesn't have a TON compared to an author like Kleypas) I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

(And I'd be stupid to not mention that you can use DIFFICULTWOMANREADS for $5 off your first Pango purchase of $10 or more, etc etc, which would make this book $5 + shipping).

Natalie Portman's 2024 Golden Globes dress captures the mood of Clio from Tessa Dare's Say Yes to the Marquess in her wedding dress in an English meadow ✨

Why is the first book in Marsha Canham's Robin Hood trilogy unavailable at all of my multiple libraries?? I'm trying NOT to buy books right now, but I guess I'll just have to give in for this one. Once I'm ready to tackle it. I know it has this stepback, too, which is further incentive.

Unfortunately this copy didn't include the front stepback featuring Bill Schmidt's Silent Night 3 cover but I suppose you can't win everything nowadays. Not all was lost, however...

And now the new face of Paperbacks For Today, our beloved and most dearest mall brat in Shadyside... miss Reva Dalby!

Y'ALL I SCORED TODAY!

Went to my local 2nd and Charles for their penny a page sale today and found two of the original stepbacks for the Bridgerton series. It's in His Kiss and On the Way to the Wedding. It's really good condition, too. Adding these two to Romancing Mr. Bridgeton and To Sir Phillip, with Love, that brings me to about halfway on my collecting the original stepbacks for the series

[mermaidsirennikita]

anyway I just ordered old copies of Thief of Shadows, Sweetest Scoundrel, and Dearest Rogue in my effort to collect all the Maiden Lane books with stepbacks, soooooo please pray for me because if these don't have them I'm gonna lose my shit
