You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

You Should Be So Lucky

I’m in an unusual position here. Usually, Cat Sebastian novels are endlessly charming and they have caused many a Bad Decisions Book Club over the years. This one didn’t quite hit that same high for me, but I did still enjoy it. Let’s unpack this situation together. Eddie O’Leary found out on national television that he was being traded to the Robins in New York. His outburst in response to the news could not have … Continue reading You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

Hide Your Wallet: May 7th Release Week!

We’re officially in May! This month is so busy when it comes to new releases. Sometimes I find it hard to keep up or even decide what to read.

Books on Sale: Tiffany Girl by Deeanne Gist & More

RECOMMENDEDTiffany Girl by Deeanne Gist is $1.99! This is an American historical romance. Redheadedgirl read the book after hearing about it on a panel at a previous RT conference, and she gave it a B+:

I loved this and chewed through it like someone was going to take it away from me, and I’m totally going to check out more of Gist’s work.  She writes specifically American historicals, which are kind of sparse on the ground lately, and are a refreshing change of pace from the English historicals.
