Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo is $2.99! This was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet and is a lovely YA historical fiction with a F/F romance. It was also a staff pick at the bookstore where I work!
The Bashful Bride by Vanessa Riley is 99c! This is a standalone historical romance and the second book in the Advertisements for Love series, though it looks like the entire series is on sale. The pairing of a shy heiress and famous actor really intrigues me. Readers loved the historical research and accuracy, but found there was a bit of repetition of events.
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.

I’ve read and loved Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase and As You Desire by Connie Brockway. Both of these take place in Egypt, but that is not necessarily a requirement. Settings like the Amazon and Africa could be fun, too! Fantasy/horror twists are also welcome. … Continue reading The Rec League: The Mummy Vibes
