    Provenance by Ann Leckie

    Provenance by Ann Leckie is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is a sci-fi novel. Leckie is an autobuy author for a lot of sci-fi fans and while this book is set in the same world as her previous trilogy, I wonder if you need to read those to understand this one. If you know, please leave your thoughts in the comments!

    Following her record-breaking debut trilogy, Ann Leckie, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke and Locus Awards, returns with a thrilling new story of power, theft, privilege and birthright.

    A power-driven young woman has just one chance to secure the status she craves and regain priceless lost artefacts prized by her people. She must free their thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned.

    Ingray and her charge will return to their home world to find their planet in political turmoil at the heart of an escalating interstellar conflict. Together, they must make a new plan to salvage Ingray’s future, her family and her world, before they are lost to her for good.

  • Sit, Stay, Love

    Sit, Stay, Love by Debbie Burns

    Sit, Stay, Love by Debbie Burns is $1.99! This is the second book in the Rescue Me series and a price-matched Kindle Daily Deal! Other books in the series are also on sale. I will warn that the dogs in the book were rescued from a fighting ring. I’m not sure how descriptive that abuse is. However, readers say that Burns really has done the research when writing about dog rehabilitation. Also, I really want the sweater dress that’s on the cover.

    These dogs aren’t the only ones in need of rescue

    For devoted no-kill shelter worker Kelsey Sutton, rehabbing a group of rescue dogs is a welcome challenge. Working with a sexy ex-military dog handler who needs some TLC himself? That’s a different story.

    Kurt Crawford keeps his heart locked away from everyone. Well, everyone except the dogs who need his help…and always have his back. But as Kurt gets to know the compassionate, beautiful woman he’s been assigned to work with, he can’t help but feel a little puppy love…

  • The Night Raven

    The Night Raven by Sarah Painter

    The Night Raven by Sarah Painter is 99c! How fortuitous as I just added this to my TBR pile within the last week. KJ Charles wrote a review for this on on Goodreads when it first came out. She enjoyed the premise, but found the shoddy editing to be distracting. Here’s hoping it’s had a bit of a clean up since then.

    Meet Lydia Crow…

    Lydia has always known she has no power, especially next to her infamous and more-than-slightly dodgy family. Which is why she carved her own life as a private investigator far away from London.

    When a professional snafu forces her home, the head of the family calls in a favour, and Lydia finds herself investigating the disappearance of her cousin, Maddie.

    Soon, Lydia is neck-deep in problems: her new flatmate is a homicidal ghost, the intriguing, but forbidden, DCI Fleet is acting in a distinctly unprofessional manner, and tensions between the old magical families are rising.

    The Crows used to rule the roost and rumours claim they are still the strongest.

    The Silvers have a facility for lying and they run the finest law firm in London.

    The Pearl family were costermongers and everybody knows that a Pearlie can sell feathers to a bird.

    The Fox family… Well. The less said about the Fox family the better.

    For seventy-five years, a truce between the four families has held strong, but could the disappearance of Maddie Crow be the thing to break it?

    The Night Raven is the first book in Crow Investigations, an exciting new paranormal mystery series from bestselling author of magical fiction, Sarah Painter.

  • Calico Palace

    Calico Palace by Gwen Bristow

    RECOMMENDED: Calico Palace by Gwen Bristow is $2.99! This is an American historical, which Carrie loved. She gave it an A grade:

    Beautiful. I adore this book with a couple of caveats that are pretty standard for the time period it’s describing (1848 – 1850) and the time period it was published in (1970, when the author was almost 70 years old). It’s fun, it’s by turns tearjerking and hilarious, it’s feminist, it’s romantic, and it describes a crazy time in history with a lot of excitement, some glamour, and a great deal of grit.

    This thrilling story of the California gold rush is not about the forty-niners, the prospectors who came rushing to the San Francisco area in 1849, but about the men and women who were there when it all began with the first discovery of gold in 1848, when San Francisco was a village of 900 people. These were the people who went up to the hills and came back staggering under the weight of the treasure they carried, and who began transforming San Francisco from a shantytown into one of the most brilliant cities in the world.

    This novel tells the unforgettable story of how these people walked into one of the most spectacular adventures in the world’s history. They saw the first samples of gold brought to the quartermaster, who said they were flakes of yellow mica. They were there when the first people who saw the gold were laughed at and called “crackbrains.” And they laid the foundation of the golden empire before the first forty-niners got there. Some of them could not meet the demands of this strange new world; others grew stronger and shared the greatness of the country they had helped build. Calico Palace is their story brought to vivid life.

  1. SaraLC says:

    I love Ann Leckie’s books, including Provenance. You do not need to have read the Ancillary Justice trilogy to understand and enjoy this book, in my opinion – it is set elsewhere in space and doesn’t involve the same characters. There is a mention of how the trilogy ends/the resolution of the prior books, but if that isn’t something that matters to you, I don’t think reading Provenance first would be a problem.

  2. Egged says:

    I don’t think you need to read the other novels in the Imperial Radch universe in order to read Provenance. It’s set in the same universe but firmly in its own world, if that makes sense. Personally I enjoyed it but if you have read the IR trilogy, my red would be to enjoy Provenance on its own good merits, and not hold it up against the IR trilogy. (because the IR trilogy was just so fantastic, not because Provenance was bad).

  3. Darlynne says:

    I read THE NIGHT RAVEN last month, enjoyed the premise, but felt the MC needed to DO something. OTOH, Lydia is a new investigator, intimidated by her and other powerful families, and I’m interested enough to see how she grows into the work.

  4. The Other AJ says:

    I agree with what SaraLC and Egged said — Provenance is a stand-alone. It takes place after the events of the Imperial Radch trilogy, but in a different part of the universe, so somebody mentions what happened off-handedly, because it had so little impact on that part of the universe. It’s also much smaller in scale, so don’t go into it expecting the same sweeping epic.

    As for that sweater dress, I bought one almost identical from KAVU this past winter. Dunno if they still have it in stock but if so it might be on clearance since we’re moving into warmer weather 😉

  5. Molly says:

    I remember reading Calico Palace when I much younger. Definite caveats about, as Disney has been describing some of their older properties, “outdated cultural depictions.” On the other hand, the description leaves out one of the best things about the book: the wonderfully supportive, powerful friendship between two women that’s the heart of the novel. Bristol also wrote Jubilee Trail, which is almost a companion to Calico Palace, about 1840s Los Angeles (different cast and story but it ends with the discovery of gold), again with a strong female friendship at the center.
