I said in Whatcha Reading about reading Lavender’s Blue, “In some ways my brain feels like I am putting on clothing from two jobs ago that fit but feel strange and familiar at the same time.” Now that I’ve finished it and sat with my thoughts and tried (several times) to write out a longer impression, I agree with my earlier assessment that it is both strange and familiar, but disagree with the idea that … Continue reading Lavender’s Blue by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer→
If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon is 99c! This is book two in the Cowboys of California series and was featured in Hide Your Wallet back in October. Have you read this one yet?
Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton is $2.99! This was a Reese Witherspoon book club pick and I’m so happy Reese is showing some attention to romance and romance-adjacent titles. This book has dual timelines: 2017 Miami and 1958 Havana. Have you read this one?
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson is $2.99! This is a young adult fantasy with romantic elements and I’ve heard such good things. I believe I remember Aarya squeeing about this in Slack, but I could be wrong.
Ghosting by Tash Skilton is $3.99 at Amazon! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, but isn’t being price-matched just yet. I enjoyed this book and would describe it as Cyrano de Bergerac meets online dating. I also had writing duo Tash Skilton on my contemporary romance panel for Bookstore Romance Day.
RECOMMENDED: The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne is 99c! I think this was Byrne’s debut? I could be wrong, but it’s book one in the Victorian Rebels series and it earned an A-. If you love Old Skool vibes, pick this one up.
The Five by Hallie Rubenhold is $2.99 at Amazon! This may be a leftover KDD from the week that’s going to expire soon. Elyse was incredibly excited about this one and mentioned is a few times on the site podcast. I swore she wrote a review, but I think I’m confusing this one with another book about Jack the Ripper.
Welcome to Lit Wicks! This is where we pair an author’s backlist with candles to really immerse yourself in the reading experience. All of the candles featured in these post are from Etsy, which means there is often worldwide shipping and that you’re supporting independent crafters and sellers. The Etsy candle rabbit hole is one I have gone down many times. May’s Lit Wicks is inspired by Jennifer Crusie! I want to thank Reader Marci … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Jennifer Crusie→
A Shocking Delight by Jo Beverly is $1.99! This is the fifteenth book in the Company of Rogues series, and the hero in this one is a character who showed up in previous books. So this may be a situation where it can be read as a standalone, but you might get a deeper reading experience if you’ve read the other books. What do you think?
Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen is $2.99 at Amazon and iBooks! I’m not sure how long this deal will last, as I believe it was a Kindle Daily Deal this weekend. I can’t recommended Allen’s books highly enough and I love the magical realism she incorporates. However, some readers wished they could have identified more with the characters.
