Good morning! Welcome back to Wednesday Links!

We’re a little light on content today, so that means you get Links several hours early. Did any of you attend the Lady Eve’s Last Con event that Sarah hosted? I want to hear all about it if you did! I honestly can’t remember the time I attended a book event as just a fan (and not someone running it). What was the last bookstore event you attended?

The Olympics have also officially started! I don’t really keep up and I kind of turn my brain off for those two weeks. But for those who are watching, any big wins or upsets? Give me the tl;dr!  (Or perhaps it should be tl;dw – too long; didn’t watch.)

…

A new romance convention is popping up in the Milwaukee area! If you attend, we’d love to hear how it goes!

…

This link is from Larisa is the SBTB Patreon Discord. NPR has picked their best games so far of 2024. What do you think of the list?

…

Women’s sports are ushering in a new type of sports bar! Check out The Sports Bra in Portland, Oregon! It looks like a really fun time!

…

EC Spurlock sent us this link on romantasy! Sarah is quoted, though I feel like I do have strong opinions (all my opinions are strong ones lol) on my own definition of fantasy romance.

…

Back to video games, this man taught his fish how to play Elden Ring! Obviously that’s a bit hyperbolic and feels more like luck, but watching a fish + tracking software tackle tough bosses is really exciting to watch.

…

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
