Have you started reading the 45 Book Baes & HEAs Novellas?
I’ve been crazy busy with secret projects, a book that refuses to write itself, family responsibilities, and the stress of the world being on fire. So while I downloaded so many amazing books from the incredible Book Baes & HEAs G!v3aw@y, I read my first book this week. I started with The Billionaire’s Bookworm by the prolific B. Love. I loved Alex & Eva’s sweet romance. (Yes, you read that right. LOL. There are zero love scenes, and there’s minimal swearing in this one.) That took me by surprise, but it’s something B. Love is experimenting with this year. I must admit, sis did her thing. I’d highly recommend it—even if you’re a reader, like me, who normally prefers spice.
Reading The Billionaire’s Bookworm was a great way to kick off reading my way through all forty-five titles in the Book Baes and HEAs G!v3aw@y. Now, I can’t wait to read the next one. Below is what The Billionaire’s Bookworm by B. Love is about. Have you read this one yet? Which of the forty-five fr33 novellas do you recommend I read next?

About The Billionaire’s Bookworm:
When the cashier at Eva’s bookstore calls out at the last minute, her hands are so full she has no choice but to immediately put the man who came for an interview to work. He’s late, overdressed, out of place… and a billionaire? Unbeknownst to Eva, Alex isn’t just a man looking for a job—he’s her landlord too. Books and his buildings aren’t the only things on Alex’s mind. He unexpectedly falls for the bossy bookstore babe. But will he be able to convince her to stay with him when she finds out who he really is?



So what had happened was…I was determined to organize my attic and garage, both filled with some really solid, high-end pieces we got when a building my husband worked at was decommissioned. The goal had always been to sell these pieces, but life kept me busy. I’d sold a few high-end office chairs and some children’s goods the grandkids had outgrown. But I didn’t have time to focus on selling the other items. Recently, I did a little research on some of the pieces I wanted to sell and stumbled into the world of reselling.
I’m a thrifting girlie who enjoys the thrill of bargain hunting for high-end goods at my local thrift or consignment shop. And now, I’m low-key completely obsessed with the idea of thrifting and reselling. And since our attic is stuffed with sellable goodies and our closets are overflowing with brand name clothing we don’t wear anymore (or have never worn), I started there.
Last week, I started by selling a few children’s items: a wooden bench with toy box storage and a stroller. This week, I sold my first wearable item on Poshmark: a pair of brown, vintage Y2K, Tommy Hilfiger boots I’ve owned since 2004 and wore maybe five times. I also launched The Perfect Find online thrift store website here.
So you might wonder if I’m still going to be writing romance. The short answer is YES. Writing will always be my primary vocation. But I’m excited about this fun, adventurous side hustle that brings me joy (and extra cash) at such a dismal time in our history. It makes me happy to know I’m helping the environment by finding new homes for these preloved items rather than condemning them to a landfill in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood. (Because isn’t that where they always are, by design?) Lastly, recycling, reusing, and repurposing items is one more way to support economic sanctions against companies with little regard for the environment, their employees, and our communities.
Well, I guess the secret is finally out of the bag.
