It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book
Thanks to Julie for the heads up on this sale! Sourcebooks has some daily deals through January 1, but the newsletter that is sent out never renders correctly in my inbox. I *think* this is today's deal, so I'm guessing that (a) these prices are today only (29 December) and (b) that they're available at most retailers. I know BN, Amazon, and Kobo are showing the .99c US price as of right now. So: four … Continue reading Four Susanna Kearsley Books for 99c,
Time to thank the lovely people who have advertised here this month, and helped make the hot pink palace of Bitchery the spiffy place that it is. And it's also time to thank you (yes, you!

I received an email from Billie Bloebaum, bookseller extraordinaire, which read: Subject: In case no one has noticed… …both the mash-up novel and lolcats have now officially jumped the shark. The proof, if such a thing is needed: It's only lacking Ryan Gosling as Darcy: “Hey girl, you must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” WELL. We can't let that slide, can we?! Behold. Thanks, … Continue reading Fun with Ryan Gosling and Books on Sale

Links and things on sale! It's the day after Christmas, where all through the mall… well, I have no idea what's going on the mall because you couldn't pay me enough to go there today. I know many of the “after Thanksgiving” sales started ON Thanksgiving this year, and I'm wondering how soon until stores open at 9 or 10pm on Christmas Day. There are a LOT of books on sale today and this week. … Continue reading Books on Sale? Yes!
A Kiss for Midwinter is my new favorite novella. It has a flawed but interesting heroine, it has a hero who is scientific, compassionate, and basically amazing, and it takes its characters through a powerful emotional journey with lots of angst but also lots of humor. I never would have thought I'd find this line sexy, but I most certainly do… “Besides, the hymen is just a membrano-carneous structure situated at the entrance of the … Continue reading A Kiss For Midwinter by Courtney Milan: A Guest Review by CarrieS
