The Rec Leagues: Thefts
This Rec League request is from Kir in our SBTB Patreon Discord: Can anyone recommend any books where the main characters solve a theft please? As opposed to solving a murder, or books that follow the thieves doing the heist. Can be mystery/romance/any genre, but bonus points if it’s in a secondary world. Lara: I haven’t finished it yet but The Three Dahlias by Katy Watson seems to focus on a theft only. Sarah: There … Continue reading The Rec Leagues: Thefts
Links: The Spice Girls, More Trader Joe’s Discussion, & More
Hellooooo! It’s time for Wednesday Links! How are we feeling about April? Have the allergies started for anyone yet? I’m always dreading allergy season, but mine didn’t start until mid-May last year. I keep waiting for the day I don’t get them because I’ve heard if you live in an area for a decade, your body gets used to it. Well…I’ve surpassed a decade and I still have ’em. Maybe I’m just a…late bloomer. (lol) … Continue reading Links: The Spice Girls, More Trader Joe’s Discussion, & More

RECOMMENDED: Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin is $2.99! This was recently mentioned in the comments of our Podcasting Romances Rec League. Sneezy and Carrie read this one and gave it a B+:
Carrie: Although I’ve never been to Canada, I felt right at home in this book. Sneezy and I did a lot of squeeing over this story, just…not so much about the romance element, which was – eh, fine. Reader beware – this book will make you laugh and cry, but above all, it will make you so, so hungry!!

Dukes Do It Better by Bethany Bennett is $1.99! This is the third book in the Misfits of Mayfair series; we’ve feature the previous two books on sale before. I don’t love how this cover design is a departure from the other books.
Cover Awe: Foreign Editions, Fonts, & More
Welcome back to Cover Awe! This is where we discuss cover designs that we like. Cover art by Radiante Mozzarelle Amanda: Border designs! I love how the people were incorporated into the border. Sarah: I really like that cover. Every time I see it, I take a long look. Amanda: The bubblegum pink is also super eyecatching. Lara: I am enamored of this cover. I just want to fall deep into its pink and teal … Continue reading Cover Awe: Foreign Editions, Fonts, & More

Book Review
Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana
How can I review a book that has a plot twist in the last chapter that changes the entire book? Lore of the Wilds is a fantasy that is enjoyable but…odd. The heroine is twenty-one but the book reads as very YA despite one graphic sex scene. There’s a love triangle, but it’s difficult to write about it without revealing a spoiler that comes out of nowhere at the very end of the book. There … Continue reading Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana
