The Astral Library by Kate Quinn is $2.99! Big thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale and hopefully it lasts a little bit. Sarah had Kate on the podcast to talk about this release and it was very great episode.
This HaBO comes from Cory, who is looking for this romance: Looking for an older Medieval Fantasy Romance read between 2009–2013 (likely published in the 1990s or early 2000s).

RECOMMENDED: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker is $2.99! Catherine gave this one an A-:
I loved Battle Royal. While it did have minor flaws, it more than made up for them with humour, tenderness, and food porn.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Sarah: This is quite a cover. I’m honestly not sure if I like it? Elyse: She needs to see someone about her thyroid.

Elyse: I just started The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? July 2026, Part One
These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean is $2.99! Last time this was on sale, commenters mentioned it skews more toward women’s fiction. What did you think of this one?
Alas, Bonnie Tyler passed away this week at the age of 75. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” was one of my first favorite songs as an adolescent. It was so much. This was back when I had to hope the radio would play the song you loved while I was listening, and before the days where maybe I could record it (badly) on a cassette.
