I loved this book, I’ve mentioned it on the podcast several times, I wrote about the cover ages ago on Kirkus, AND Jane and I both liked it (which is so rare an event in and of itself I bought more wine just in case the apocalypse was coming and I needed fortifications).
Ready for explosions of mayhem and merriment?
A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev is on sale today! And I liked it so much, I’m making it a Sizzling Book Club pick for November!
No lie, I liked this book so much, I wanted to hold a book club discussion about it. A review wasn’t enough to contain the squee and the curiosity.
If you’re not familiar with the Sizzling Book Club, there are three things you need to know.
Thing the first!
AllRomance is offering a 50% eBookBuck rebate for this book from 28 October – 11 November. This means that you’ll get half of the cost of the book back in eBook Bucks, which you can then use to buy MORE BOOKS. Oh, the humanity.
And since this book is a bit expensive for an ebook at $9-13, the rebate is a jolly good thing to have, I think. And in my opinion (and in Courtney Milan’s opinion during our last podcast), this book is worth the price.
You can also find print copies at Amazon, BN, or your local library (US).
Thing the Second!
I will be hosting a Book Club Chat about this book here at the site on November 18, 2014 at 9:00pm ET. Author Sonali Dev will be joining us in the chat for a Q&A at 10:00pm ET.
Thing the Third!

Comments will be back up very soon, I pinky-swear!
This book is on my wish list. There are so many great releases this time of year: Ann Leckie, Ilona Andrews, Faith Hunter, to name a few. I want to hibernate and read for a few weeks straight. Too bad about that working for a living thing.
@Susan:
I know this feeling so well. I flew from Vancouver to Newark yesterday and sat in my seat reading a book and listening to music for over 5 hours. It was wonderful. I’m bummed I can’t do the same today!
I loved this book so much. It made me laugh. It made me ugly cry. It made me decide to incorporate the word donkey into more of my cursing. It made me do the heart-fluttery happy sigh at the end. Seriously. Loved. This. Book. It’s my pick for romance of the year.
I loved this book so much! I’m excited to finally have other people with whom I can discuss it!
Thanks for the giveaway. I’ve been sitting on my hands determined to wait until price drops even a little before getting this book.
What fun! I’ve heard nothing but good things about this book.
I was excited to start reading Alice Clayton’s “Redhead” series because I’d heard lots of good things about it (and her “Cocktail” series, which I’ve not yet begun). The first in the trilogy turned out to be so much fun that I immediately snapped up the other two titles. I found them all delightful!
What’s the rebate code at ARe? I don’t see it on their site.
I’m waiting for an ILL library to process their new copies so I can put a hold on one, so it would be great to get a copy right now!
@Cleo:
The rebate should be automatically applied, but you can use code SBTBARE at checkout.
I clicked over to ARe to check the price of ABA. Searched “A Bollywood Affair” … no such title. Searched “Sonali Dev” … no such author. Clicked over to OmniLit, where I finally found it. It really isn’t classified as a romance, is it? o_O
@Ms Bookjunkie:
Weird, isn’t it? Sometimes I find things in OmniLit that I’d expected to find at ARe, and am so confused. Glad you found it, though.
