The Maid by Nita Prose is $3.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet! I’ve seen some comments and criticisms about the heroine being possibly neurodivergent and that on-page portrayal. Have you read this one?

RECOMMENDED: The Lion’s Den by Katherine St. John is $4.99! Elyse wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A. Definitely check out her review for a list of triggers to be aware of.
This book is really two mysteries in one, and when they collide it’s a wonderful “ah-ha” moment. I wish I could say more than that, but I don’t want to ruin a single thing for another reader.

RECOMMENDED: Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson is $2.99! Shana and Carrie jointly reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This is a character-focused book and is all about the romance between Jesse and Kerry, as well as the importance of family, friendship, and community. Also there’s a lot of knitting.
Howdy y’all! I’ve noticed that images in posts are showing up in the RSS feed email as duplicates, which is weird. And often the most effective way for me to test a potential bug is to attempt to create it on purpose. I’m not sure what’s going on, so I’m writing up some words (like these!) and then dropping in random images. Still and animated! Big Fun! Here’s Wilbur sitting on my latest quilt project, … Continue reading Testing Some Image Weirdness in our Feed
Laura Hankin is the author of Happy And You Know It, A Special Place for Women, and the upcoming book The Daydreams. The paperback of A Special Place for Women is out on May 24th, and as I learned is being adapted for film, too! We talk about the book-to-film adaptation process, and then we take a deep dive into secret societies, exclusive clubs, and how they work (or don’t). We also take a side … Continue reading 512. Secret Clubs and Exclusive Spaces with Laura Hankin
Beauty and the Clockwork Beast by Nancy Campbell Allen is $1.99! This is the first book in the Steampunk Proper Romance series and, as the name suggests, it has Beauty and the Beast vibes. Some readers felt there were 10 pounds of extra stuff shoved into a 5 pound book. However, there’s one review on Goodreads where the reader admits sitting in her car in a parking lot just so she can finish the book.
Summer is almost upon us (well, it is where I live), which is when a lot of people around here take vacations. I love spending summer hanging with my sister and her family at her campsite, taking day trips to Door County (the “thumb” of WI–think orchards, wineries, state parks, beaches, and cozy little main streets with boutique shops), and this year my husband and I are going to FL for a week to sit … Continue reading Vacation Knitting
