Welcome back to Whatcha Reading! Here’s how we’re kicking off August: Sarah: I’m reading Stone and Sky, the new Peter Grant book in audio because Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s narration is top-tier for me.

The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet and is the second book in the Fifth Avenue Rebels.
