RECOMMENDED: Once Upon a Marquess by Courtney Milan is 99c! This is book one in the Worth Saga and I think SBTB has reviewed nearly every Milan release. RHG and Carrie did a joint review of this one. It earned an A grade and there was a lot of squeeing.
Lightning Review
Work It Out by Sarah Kurchak
I loathe exercise. I don’t mean that I dislike it. I don’t mean that I talk about how much I hate it as a form of humble bragging i.e. “You know running is just SO HARD on the knees but it was SUCH A RUSH finishing the marathon in first place.” No, I really, really hate it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is $1.99! Not sure if this is a leftover KDD from yesterday, so snap this one up if you can. Shana reviewed this one and gave it a Squee grade:
Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.
The Rec League: Fitness & Running
This Rec League comes from Maggie: I’m looking for recommendations for contemporary romances that have fitness training, especially running and especially with amateurs or beginners, as central to the plot or subplot. I read a few last year and found they really inspired me to take up running again after time off for physical therapy. Now at New Year’s I’m looking to hack my motivation for working out and I’d love to add some more … Continue reading The Rec League: Fitness & Running

Hello, all! How are we?! I honestly feel like I can’t remember what I’ve been up to. I’m in the midst of that allergy haze. Toast is slowly settling. He’s hiding less, which feels like a good sign! My partner and I finished the tutorial scenarios of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, which took longer than expected. However, I really enjoyed it and I’m eager to get into the real campaign. Some other highlights: I made … Continue reading Links: Quizzes, Stunts, & More

RECOMMENDED: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker is $1.99! Catherine gave this one an A-:
I loved Battle Royal. While it did have minor flaws, it more than made up for them with humour, tenderness, and food porn.

HaBO: Maple Syrup & Baseball
This HaBO is from Jesi, who wants to track down a paperback they read: The book was a random paperback but it was amazing and I re-read it so many times. This is what I remember: – Heroine’s name is Hazel and she is American. At the start of the book she’s on holiday in Europe where she meets… – The hero, whose name is Marcus. He’s rich and handsome (of course) and I think … Continue reading HaBO: Maple Syrup & Baseball
