  • The Good Neighbor

    The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King

    The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King is $1.99! This is a biography of the late and great Mr. Rogers! Admittedly, I’m not a big nonfiction reader, but this sounds all sort of sweet and wholesome. I’ve yet to hear a bad word about Mr. Rogers.

    The definitive biography of Fred Rogers, children’s television pioneer and American cultural icon, an instant New York Times bestseller 

    Fred Rogers (1928–2003) was an enormously influential figure in the history of television. As the creator and star of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality, and kindness, fiercely devoted to children and taking their questions about the world seriously. The Good Neighbor is the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers.

    Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, The Good Neighbor traces Rogers’s personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work. It includes his surprising decision to walk away from the show in 1976 to make television for adults, only to return to the neighborhood to help children face complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and competition. The Good Neighbor is the definitive portrait of a beloved figure.

  • Crashed Out

    Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey

    Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey is $2.99! This is the first book in the Made in Jersey series. Book two is also on sale and book three features a plus-size, husky hero. This one seems to reverse some common tropes, with the hero being the younger brother of the heroine’s best friend. The heroine is a blue collar worker and seven years older than the hero.

    Jasmine Taveras is the reason Sarge Purcell grabbed his six-string and bailed the hell out of New Jersey four years ago. She’s the fuel for every song he’s ever written-each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that this “kid” turned into every inch the man she’s always needed…

    Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey…until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks-or rather storms-into Jasmine’s life. Sarge’s return shouldn’t affect her this way. He’s her best friend’s much younger kid brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her.

    But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it…

  • The Alice Network

    The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

    RECOMMENDED: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn is $2.99! RHG gave this one a B+ and I agree with her assessment. I hand-sell this one a lot at the bookstore:

    This book has a lot of my catnip: lady spies, a dual chronology, and a host of people trying to put their lives back together after a war.

    In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women—a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947—are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.

    1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family. She’s also nursing a desperate hope that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie’s parents banish her to Europe to have her “little problem” taken care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister.

    1915. A year into the Great War, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance when she’s recruited to work as a spy. Sent into enemy-occupied France, she’s trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the “Queen of Spies”, who manages a vast network of secret agents right under the enemy’s nose.

    Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. Until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn’t heard in decades, and launches them both on a mission to find the truth…no matter where it leads.

  • A Taste of Heaven

    A Taste of Heaven by Penny Watson

    A Taste of Heaven by Penny Watson is 99c! This cover is making me so hungry. This is a contemporary romance with an older hero and heroine (late 40s) and a food competition show. Readers loved the heroine and her relationship with the grumpy Scottish chef hero. However, some readers felt the action of the book happened a little too quickly. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads

    “Create one perfect bite.”

    Good little widow Sophia Brown always follows the rules. When the producer of a cooking competition requests an amuse-bouche, the chefs stick with proteins. Sauces. A savory concoction. She has only one shot to impress the judges on A Taste of Heaven. But in a moment of defiance, she creates an extraordinary dessert, one that combines both the bitter and the sweet, just like her own life.

    That one bite changes everything.

    After a year grieving for her dead husband, forty-seven-year-old Sophia is finally ready to break out of her shell. Unfortunately, there is a large, angry obstacle standing in her way. Scottish chef Elliott Adamson has a chip on his shoulder the size of Loch Ness, and he’s blocking her path to victory.

    Spurred by her daughters, she embarks on a poignant adventure that takes her from the wildflower fields of Vermont to the wind-swept vista of North Berwick, Scotland. Fear, courage, and inspiration from unlikely places will mark this journey, and Sophia is determined to persevere until the very end.

    Not sure if it was intentional, but A TASTE OF HEAVEN was recommended today in the Rec League about romances involving food.

  2. Laurel says:

    I really enjoyed A Taste of Heaven. (Penny Watson doesn’t seem to be writing anymore, and that makes me sad. She’s a good writer and I have enjoyed a lot of her books. Apples Should be Red is also a good book with older main characters.)

  3. Jcp says:

    Alll I Want for Christmas is You I by Miranda Liason is 1.99

  4. Susan says:

    The Alice Network was a great read for me. Even better is The Huntress also by Kate Quinn. I pretty much started reading and literally couldn’t put it down. WW2, Nazis, murder, revenge and Russian female combat pilots known as the Night Witches.

  5. San says:

    I read The Good Neighbor a few years ago and loved it. I already knew he had been a good, kind man, but the stories of his life just re-affirmed that and it’s a very feel-good, heart-warming read.

  6. Lisa F says:

    The Good Neighbor is excellent, and should be read in tandem with Brian Jay Jones’ profile on Jim Henson. Ultimately both stories are tales of two good and complicated men who inspired children everywhere.
