The Flatshare
RECOMMEND: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary is $2.99! We had a great guest review of this one and Lisa the Librarian gave it an A-:
It was romantic, sweet, hot, funny, and original – everything I’m looking for in a romance. I can definitely see myself rereading this in the not-too-distant future.
Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met.
After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art.
Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He’ll only ever be there when she’s at the office. In fact, they’ll never even have to meet.
Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes – first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then maybe more.
But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea…especially if you’ve never met.
What if your roommate is your soul mate? A joyful, quirky romantic comedy, Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare is a feel-good novel about finding love in the most unexpected of ways.

In a Badger Way
In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston is $2.99 at Amazon! This is the second book in the Honey Badgers series and I even made a special cocktail for it! Laurenston’s books are very much over the top with lots of improbable scenarios. Sometimes, that may just be what you need.
Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women bodyguard Shen Li is interested in. Even more surprising, the youngest of the lethal, ball-busting, and beautiful MacKilligan sisters is terrified of bears. But she’s not terrified of pandas. She loves pandas.
Which means that whether Shen wants her to or not, she simply won’t stop cuddling him. He isn’t some stuffed Giant Panda, ya know! He is a Giant Panda shifter. He deserves respect and personal space. Something that little hybrid is completely ignoring.
But Stevie has a way of finding trouble. Like going undercover to take down a scientist experimenting on other shifters. For what, Shen doesn’t want to know, but they’d better find out. And fast. Stevie might be the least violent of the honey badger sisters, but she’s the most dangerous to Shen’s peace of mind. Because she has absolutely no idea how much trouble they’re in . . . or just how damn adorable she is.

The Tethered Mage
The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso is $2.99! This is the first book in the Swords and Fire series. This one seems to straddle the line between YA and New Adult. There was some great discussion in the comments last time it was on sale about a few questionable elements and how they’re handled.
CONTROL THE MAGIC, CONTROL THE WORLD
In the Raverran Empire, magic is scarce and those born with power are strictly controlled — taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon Army. Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage-mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire empire.
Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations.
But fate has bound the heir and the mage. And as war looms on the horizon, a single spark could turn their city into a pyre.
The Tethered Mage is the first novel in a spellbinding new fantasy series.

Magic for Liars
Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey is $2.99! This is a fantasy novel where a non-magical heroine investigates a magical murder. One of my close friends gave this five stars and I trust her opinion. However, other readers on Goodreads say they were surprisingly a bit bored.
Ivy Gamble has never wanted to be magic. She is perfectly happy with her life—she has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, and an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. It’s a great life and she doesn’t wish she was like her estranged sister, the magically gifted professor Tabitha.
But when Ivy is hired to investigate the gruesome murder of a faculty member at Tabitha’s private academy, the stalwart detective starts to lose herself in the case, the life she could have had, and the answer to the mystery that seems just out of her reach.

I couldn’t click on The Flatshare fast enough! That’s a really good deal.
The Flatshare was great, and definitely worth $2.99. It had a little more depth than I was expecting, in addition to being as adorable as it sounds.
THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99 today. I loveeeed it.
The books in the Sarah J. Maas “Court of” series are 1.99 each. It’s definitely worth scrolling through today’s Kindle Daily Deals.
I loved the premise of The Flatshare, reviews were good so I checked it out on amazon.com.au a couple of months ago. As I expected, far too expensive (prices in Australia for books are eye-watering). Couldn’t find it in local library catalogue. So I used an Audible credit (thankfully the sample sounded OK, narrator-wise). I’m telling my mother how much I’m enjoying it (she owns a second hand bookshop) and she says “I think I’ve got a copy of that on the shelves.” (Facepalm). Then after I’ve finished the book I see a copy standing proudly on the featured books display at the library! Apparently in their database it was entered as The Flat Share, so my search had turned up no result. (Double facepalm.) At least the audio version was great, although it helped to have my mother’s hard copy to clarify some confusion caused by the format of the novel. The male narrator really is Afro-Caribbean and Irish.
Need to pick up Flatshare!
A Wedding One Christmas by Therese Beharrie is on sale at amazon for $1.99. It was recommended in the holiday stress kit post.
@oceanjasper – I’ve encountered the Flat Share / Flatshare problem a few times! Fortunately, I could never remember the correct spelling so always searched both ways. I’ve heard good things about the audio and plan to check it out.
A free Kindle book that sounds good: Edge of Nowhere by Felicia Davin
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/psi.html?ie=UTF8&cartID=142-2379055-1888405&destinationURL=%2Fgp%2Faw%2Fya&packedQuery=oid%7CD01-3319008-4368249%7Cac%7Cdod&
Here’s a very positive review: https://joyfullyjay.com/2018/08/review-edge-of-nowhere-by-felicia-davin/
I must say that I was super excited for Magic for Liars and I bought it immediately upon its release and read it – and I was bored and disappointed. The entire build-up of the novel flopped for me, and what I was really looking forward to was the world-building and that was completely underwhelming as well. The story may as well have taken place in some grey building with grey people doing boring grey things for all the vibrancy of the set-up.
Audible’s Cyber Monday deals have entire series (or parts of them) on sale. Outlander, anyone? I nabbed the two Murderbots missing from my hoard. *happy dance*
I kind of want to nab The Gallagher Girls series (narrated by Renée Raudman!), but they’re not essential to my audiobook hoarding at this moment, so I shall let them be. *polishes halo*
I adored The Flatshare! Evvie Drake Starts Over had the same feel to me. Both feature female MC who gradually realize that their previous relationship wasn’t just bad, it was abusive. If you’ve read & liked one, give the other a go.
BTW, I think I solved the “Flatshare” vs “Flat Share” mystery. Some versions of the cover have a linebreak between Flat and Share. It definitely looks like two words on those editions. (Somehow, I had it down as hyphenated, and I cannot figure out where that came from as it’s one word in my library’s catalog.)
Quick tip: if the book you’re looking for doesn’t come up when you search your library’s database, try searching for the author. This will circumvent the rare typo, or if your library really doesn’t have it, you might at least enjoy something else by the same author.
@Tanvee, I agree; Magic for Liars did not meet my expectations.
