Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are we all doing? I can start to feel fall in the air and I’m so ready. Also, I’m eager for this jam-packed month to be over. Before my partner and I go grocery shopping, we pick the 3-4 meals we plan to cook in the next couple weeks. I found a harissa-spiced cauliflower soup recipe in the Cookish cookbook and I’m looking forward to that the most. I love … Continue reading Links: A GoFundMe, Sapphic Reading Recs, & More
Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews is $1.49! This is a spin-off of Andrews’ Kate Daniels series with the main character being Kate and Curran’s ward. Obviously this will be a more nuanced read if you’ve finished or are familiar with the prior series. I dropped off that train around book three.
I’m generally a fan of Rachel Harrison’s horror novels. They tend to offer up commentary on things like toxic friendships, trauma, and complicated family dynamics in this darkly comedic, hyperbolic package. When I heard this blended the prodigal daughter of a cult with the catharsis of rebuilding after escaping a narcissistic mother, it jumped to the top of my TBR pile.

Scoundrel of My Heart by Lorraine Heath is $1.99! It’s book one in the Once Upon a Dukedom series, which is great news if you don’t like reading out of order.s

The heroine is in the modern day and travels to Scotland to a castle, which has a portrait of an unknown woman. She somehow travels back in time, where she’s discovered by the hero who thinks she’s a spy (?). He … Continue reading HaBO: Time-Traveling Heroine Believed to be a Spy
Sailor’s Delight by Rose Lerner is $1.99! I remember this was mentioned on a Hide Your Wallet post and many of the Bitchery were excited about it. I believe this sale is good for the entire week if you’re unable to grab it today. Did you read it?
Let’s start with the fact that I adore KJ Charles’ books. All of them. So I was well-positioned to love this one, especially as I had adored the first book in this series, which Carrie reviewed. Book two didn’t quite have the complexity of that first book, but I still loved this story and devoured it quickly. Rufus, a major in the army, has found out that he is in fact an earl, specifically the … Continue reading A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles
