The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews is $1.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale! This is book one in Matthews’ new series, The Belles of London. The description definitely piques my interest, but I feel like Matthews books don’t get as sexy for me as I want them.
This HaBO comes from Brittany, who wants to find this time travel romance: It starts off with the protagonist, who I’m pretty sure was in the field of archeology or anthropology…maybe architecture, being somewhat unhappy/apathetic about her life at that point. Her parents wanted her to marry this guy, and she was either unsure or didn’t want to. She goes on some sort of overseas work trip/field trip with colleagues. Something happens plot-wise, and suddenly … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Travels Through Time While on a Work Assignment
Some books are just fun, and I had a smile on my face all throughout Nobody’s Princess. Graham is the de-facto head of the sprawling Wynchester clan, a family of good-doers who are following in the footsteps of their recently deceased adoptive father, Baron Vanderbean. Graham’s siblings love to tease him for his obsession with royalty, so no one is surprised when he uses his network of London informants to figure out that an escaped … Continue reading Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley
RECOMMENDED: Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles is 99c! AJ reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
Long story short, if you’re looking for a fun thriller and you don’t mind buckling up for the long-ish haul on the romance (or if you just miss used bookstores as much as I do), give it a try!
So last week chicken-poo guy, Logan, was starting some shit by deciding he’d rather be with Gabby than Rachel. Rachel’s already been rejected a whole bunch and is fragile. Also they’re all sailing around Europe on an empty cruise ship because…reasons? I told Pudding it was time to watch The Bachelorette and this was her face. Also joining us is Radar, our newest foster baby. He’s 1.5lbs of absolute chaos and will be here until he’s … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E5: Radar
How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith is $2.99! This was mentioned either on Hide Your Wallet or Whatcha Reading. I believe this one is still in hardcover, so less than $3 for an ebook isn’t a bad option.
Hey all! It’s a very sleepy edition of Get Rec’d, as in I’m very sleepy while writing this list. For those who don’t know, I talk about books a lot in my daily life outside of SBTB. I work at a bookstore and give professional book recs through Book Riot’s TBR subscription. I personally love playing book matchmaker, and I love it when people give me recs as well! Get any good recommendations lately? Tell … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 23
RECOMMENDED: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is 99c at Amazon! Carrie recently reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This book was perfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA.
This month’s Kickass Women takes us to the silver boom town of Potosí, located in what is now Bolivia, in the 1600s. This city was riddled by crime, but two teenage girls, Ana Lezama de Urinza and Eustaquia de Sonza, took it on the task of cleaning it up. At the time, Potosí was adjacent to a massive silver mining operation owned and run by the Spanish colonizers. Most of the silver was sent by … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: The Valiant Ladies of Potosí
