Well Matched by Jen DeLuca is $2.99! This is DeLuca’s latest release in her contemporary ren faire romances. I believe there’s another on the way? The series has been reviewed well here and seems great for some low angsty reads, but correct me if I’m wrong.

Twice a Quinceañera by Yamile Saied Méndez is $2.99! This was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet and I remember Sarah being excited for this on in a previous podcast. Did any of you grab this one when it released?
It’s time in the northern hemisphere! You know, when the days get shorter, the temperature at night drops to a level that annihilates all the bugs that want to bite me, and…. The SEASONAL FLAVORS have ARRIVED! Let’s start with the one that’s in my house: That’s right, PUMPKIN. SPICE. OREOS. Please note: any and all disparagement of pumpkin spice is not necessary.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are you all? I had an okay weekend! My lovely partner brightened up a rough day I was having by getting me a fluffy blanket for their apartment (I’m a chronic nester) and finally…a toaster! Imagine my shock when they presented me toast for the first time and they had air fried it. Now no shame to air fryers, but that can be toast made from a toaster. I … Continue reading Links: Interviews, Bookstores, & More
Grave Reservations by Cherie Priest is $1.99! This is book one in a mystery series with paranormal elements. It also gives me Stephanie Plum vibes. I love Priest’s horror novels, so I’m curious about this one.
