Amanda has discovered some hidden gems during her first year of home ownership.
READER RECOMMENDED: Game Changer by Rachel Reid $2.99! This is the first book in a series of the same name and is a M/M hockey romance. I know other books in the series have been reviewed on the site. Are you a fan? Do you have a favorite?

We’re wrapping up September with our second Whatcha Reading. We want to know what you’re reading to close out the month. Elyse: I’ve been knitting more than reading lately, but I did just start Salt Kiss by Sierra Simone.

Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score is $2.99! This was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet and has a new cover design. Score’s books aren’t for me, but I’d love to hear from some people who love them.

And now, Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death is available to read!

This Rec League came from Meg in our SBTB Patreon Discord server. Thanks, Meg! Do you have recommendations for books based on or inspired by Shakespeare plays? I recently read Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese, which is inspired by Much Ado About Nothing (my favorite play) and it made me want more! Shakespeare’s comedies end in marriage, so they seem like good candidates to be adapted into romance novels. Sarah: Ramón and … Continue reading The Rec League: Shakespeare Retellings
