RECOMMENDED: Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher is $2.99! AJ loved this one and gave it an A:
All of that is to say: if you stare at walls a lot right now and you can’t really read because everything is just too much all the time? You’re not alone. I get you. And if you want to try a book that gets it too, and will remind you that there can be light at the end of this god-awful tunnel, maybe try this one.
Redwood and Wildfire is a slow book, and one steeped in trauma. The book depicts a lot of violence, including abuse of animals, a lynching, and a graphic rape scene, and although there is a love story in it, this is historical fiction/historical fantasy. If the reader approaches the book knowing what to expect, they will be rewarded by lush prose and a detailed view of America during the Great Migration in both the rural … Continue reading Redwood and Wildfire by Andrea Hairston
Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews is $1.99! Lots of Andrews fans here! This is book three in the Kinsmen series, which I’m not familiar with. Do these have to be read in order? Would love to know!
Good morning! It’s a slow content day, so that means Wednesday Links is up first thing! This evening, I will be off to Germany, after having weeks of anxiety about traveling. Thank goodness I also had therapy yesterday to get all my thoughts and feelings out. I have an overnight flight with a stopover in Iceland. I’m very excited to be reunited with my brother, who I haven’t seen in at least 3 years. Also, … Continue reading Links: Crochet, Farah Heron, & More
RECOMMENDED: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews is $2.49 or $2.99 depending on your retailer! Lara wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A:
I love a good yarn (in all senses of the word) and this book delivers a belter. This is an historical romance that feels fresh, vibrant and made me sing the Good Book Noise.
This HaBO is from Frances, who is looking for this paranormal romance: I’ve been wondering if this is even worth it, but I can’t stop thinking about this series, so it’s worth a shot. I’m looking for a series that I started reading and didn’t finish. I can’t remember if I stopped because the next book wasn’t yet written or if it was because I had to pay for the next book and needed to … Continue reading HaBO: Yank and Jules
Sunshine by Robin McKinley is $1.99! McKinley has been recommended several times at SBTB HQ. I always love featuring this one because we get some really lovely comments.
Hey all! It’s time for some Cover Snark! From Sarah: Neither road rash nor fatal head injuries are sexy. Sarah: They need helmets and I need to know how big the bike is if the bear can ride, too. Tara: I think this one might be so bonkers that I actually love it. Sarah: Where does one get a bear-sized helmet? Amanda: Okay but which one is actually the daddy biker bear? From Carole: Is … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Plan B for Pirates
The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo is $2.99! This was mention in a previous Hide Your Wallet. It’s a Great Gatsby retelling with fantasy elements. I heard this one does have some significant triggers, so definitely do some research before buying.
