SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
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.
It’s that time already! Time for me to talk more about books. For any new faces, hi! I’m Amanda! I live a very book-centric life. Outside of SBTB, I’m a bookseller and events coordinator (!!) at an indie bookstore in my area, as well as a reviewer and contributor to a few other book sites. I dole out a lot of romance recommendations, but I handsell a lot of other titles too. Have you received … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 12
The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren is $1.99! This is the duo’s latest romance, which I think just came out in a pretty purple paperback. I’m a huge fan of these authors!
Welcome back! It’s time for y’all to talk about what you’ve been reading. Let’s go! Sarah: I am reading Crowbones, and it is creeping me out just enough that I don’t want to read it before bedtime.. Tara: I’m reading You Sexy Thing by Cat Rambo. I was sold on the premise of GBBO + Farscape and I’m having fun with it. Elyse: I just finished Birds of California which is a celebrity romance coming … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2022, Part Two
A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev is $2.99! If you listened to our podcast episode with Sonali, she summarizes the book as a Rapunzel retelling set in Mumbai. Hello! Though some readers say this isn’t their favorite romance by Dev, it’s still pretty dang good.
