RECOMMENDED: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao is $4.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. Carrie just reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
I loved the setting, the characters, the polyamorous romance, and the mecha stuff. This is an intriguing, exciting book and I can’t wait for the next one.
Nnedi Okorafor is here and she is not here to play.

Romance fans, it’s almost time. We’re approaching Pink Halloween! It’s chocolate candy-palooza, in tiny packages (hee) and heart-shaped boxes. It’s candy puns and red construction paper time, also known as… You know, the time when mainstream media suddenly pays a LOT of attention to all things romance.

Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev is $1.99! Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B-:

Happy Bachelor day! I’m late with this post because we have a 2100 mile snowstorm going through the US and I work in transportation. My week is going GREAT. Pudding’s week is going better and she’s excited about the progress she’s making in her TBR.

Here in episode one, we’ll recap about half the story, and you’ve got options! You can read … Continue reading 496. The Invisible Goddess, Part I, with Melody from Heaving Bosoms
Ties That Tether by Jane Igharo is $1.99! Igharo’s covers have been featured in Cover Awe, though I don’t think we’ve had them on sale. I haven’t read this one, but based on the description it seems slightly more like women’s fiction where there are strong romantic elements but not necessarily the focus. Thoughts?
