The Thursday Murder Club
RECOMMENDED: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is $2.99! This mystery was one of Sarah’s favorite reads of 2023. There’s also a Netflix adaption due out this year and I’ve very curious!

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Forever Your Rogue
RECOMMENDED: Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston is $1.99! This was one of Claudia’s favorite reads of 2023. She also alludes to a “clever epilogue.” Did any of you read this one?
“One of the most utterly gorgeous character transformations historical romance has offered up in some time.” – The New York Times
He was her last chance. She was his first certainty.
Cora, Lady Dane, gave up her dreams of happily ever after a long time ago. Now newly widowed, the young mother is determined to finally live on her own terms…until a devastating betrayal shatters her hopes for the future. Faced with the prospect of losing her beloved children to overbearing relatives, Cora needs the help of the one thing she swore she’d never have again: a husband.
Nathaniel Travers hasn’t a care—or responsibility—in the world. Content with his wayward lifestyle, the charismatic rogue has no interest in marriage or duty. That is, until the earl cuts off his bank accounts. No stranger to wild escapades, Nate is game for any scheme that keeps him afloat…even a madcap ruse with a stubborn viscountess.
A fake engagement should be a straightforward solution to both of their dilemmas. But a summer at Cora’s estate tests their arrangement, and it isn’t long before their simmering attraction escalates to a feverish crescendo. When they are forced to confront the real complications of their faux betrothal, Nate has to make the first worthy gamble of his life…if only Cora can risk her guarded heart.
Forever Your Rogue is a swoony, sexy, and heartfelt Regency romance that can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Broken
Broken by Jenny Lawson is $2.99! A couple of us at SBTB have really loved Lawsons’ previous memoir collections. Humor can certainly be subjective. If you’re tempted by this one, but are unsure if her voice will work for you, she has a long-running blog: The Bloggess.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy and Let’s Pretend This Never Happened comes a deeply relatable book filled with humor and honesty about depression and anxiety.
As Jenny Lawson’s hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken, Jenny brings readers along on her mental and physical health journey, offering heartbreaking and hilarious anecdotes along the way.
With people experiencing anxiety and depression now more than ever, Jenny humanizes what we all face in an all-too-real way, reassuring us that we’re not alone and making us laugh while doing it. From the business ideas that she wants to pitch to Shark Tank to the reason why Jenny can never go back to the post office, Broken leaves nothing to the imagination in the most satisfying way. And of course, Jenny’s long-suffering husband Victor―the Ricky to Jenny’s Lucille Ball―is present throughout.
A treat for Jenny Lawson’s already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter when we all need it most.

The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck
The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck by Kyle Scott is $1.99! I can’t tell how much women’s fiction or perhaps magical realism is contains. If you’ve read it, sound off in the comments!
“Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”
When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in that nonsense anyway?
But when the first three predictions come true within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.
While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days may be numbered.
Red White and Royal Blue meets The Last Holiday in this delightfully quirky novel from the New York Times bestselling author of End of Story, about a woman who unexpectedly finds “fall in love with a prince” at the top of her bucket list.

I loved “The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck” and would describe it as a fascinating story on the border of women’s fiction/ romance.
too bad. last days did not show up for 1.99 for me on Tuesday afternoon on Amazon.
I highly recommend The Thursday Murder Club and the three sequels (I’m currently reading the 4th). These books were recommended to me after I mentioned that I had really enjoyed the “A Man on the Inside” series on Netflix. If you are an older person or have experience with older relatives who live (or lived) in a retirement village, I think you will enjoy these books. You’ll certainly recognize some of the situations that the main characters have to deal with including aging bodies and impatient children.
Although I’m not a septuagenarian, I no longer color my hair, so I’ve had to deal with customer service and strangers treating me like a “doddering old lady” because of my white hair and I particularly enjoyed how the main characters address the younger people in their life, who don’t understand that older and slower doesn’t mean stupid.
It is very british, but also very funny.
At this price, definitely buy it and read it.

I read very few contemporaries, but I loved Lilah Goodluck.
I grabbed Forever Your Rogue this afternoon and pulled a Bad Decisions Book Club to finish it just now (after midnight, oops). It was one of the best new-to-me books/authors I’ve read in a long time! Great characters who grow as their relationship does, bringing out the best in each other, and very romantic. IDK how long it’s on sale but I really enjoyed it and will definitely be checking out the author’s other work and re-reading this one before long.
Heeey! I recognize that pose on the Broken cover – it’s Omar Rayyan! He has a great shop
