SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
The Love Con by Seressia Glass is $1.99! This one has cosplay, friends to lovers, and all sorts of nerdery. I remember there were some comments that going into medicine and getting into cosplay were not mutually exclusive, but I wonder if its more that the heroine wants to do this as a career. I haven’t read the book though.
This HaBO request is from MelKelCan, who wants to track down this romance: Once upon a time I read a historical romance set in Scotland (I think?) where the heroine was married to a lord of some kind, who became ill and progressively lost control of his legs.

RECOMMENDED: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett is $2.99! Apologies if this is a leftover KDD from the weekend. We had a guest squee review of this one:

I said in Whatcha Reading about reading Lavender’s Blue, “In some ways my brain feels like I am putting on clothing from two jobs ago that fit but feel strange and familiar at the same time.” Now that I’ve finished it and sat with my thoughts and tried (several times) to write out a longer impression, I agree with my earlier assessment that it is both strange and familiar, but disagree with the idea that … Continue reading Lavender’s Blue by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer
The Change by Kirsten Miller is $1.99! This may be a leftover Kindle Daily Deal from yesterday, so could expire soon. Carrie gave this one a C+:
The Change is a flawed novel, but by golly it sure cheered me up at times. This book is about three women in their late forties who develop magical powers and use them to avenge murdered young women.
It’s time for part two of our Romantic Times Rewind visit to the May 2014 issue, where we take a tour of the ads and features inside!
