SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
As You Wish by Cary Elwes is $1.99! This is a memoir about the making of The Princess Bride, which is a movie that many love (including myself). Readers say the nostalgia-factor is high and there’s even some discussion regarding Andre the Giant’s epic farts. However, some readers mention that the writing was a bit stilted at times.
Let’s get ready to Cover Snark! From Kathi: How does he have time to pirate when he spends most of his days at the gym and the rest of the time getting his body hair waxed and head styled?! Sarah: That head was not originally attached to that body. I have doubts about the kilt, too. Sneezy: The S-shape curve of the torso also looks very strange to me. Elyse: Yeah I think that’s kyphosis … Continue reading Cover Snark: Nothing Says Romance Like Stirrups
Shanna by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss $1.99! Old skool alert! This is definitely a formative historical romance text, but that comes with a warning that it probably won’t hold up. One of the foreign covers of Shanna is my absolute favorite.
In a recent discussion in the internal SBTB Slack, Lara asked: After a reading slump, I am powering through my TBR pile and it feels great! But it got me thinking, at what point do other people DNF a book? Obviously if you hit a red flag, it’s time to kick it to the curb, but… What if the book is just a bit dull. Do you give it 10%? Three chapters? So you know … Continue reading At What Point Do You DNF?
Time’s Convert by Deborah Harkness is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. I believe reading this is most beneficial if you’ve finished the All Souls Trilogy, though correct me if I’m wrong. If it’s the latter, Lara wrote a great post about why the series is such a favorite for her.

Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik is $1.99! Ellen reviewed it, giving it a B-:
I think if you have enjoyed the series overall this is a worthwhile read, but I wish my expectations had not been so high coming off the second book.
Last week when Pudding and I tucked ourselves under a fuzzy blankie to watch this dumpster fire, Jamie was stirring the shit pot by telling Michelle that the guys in the house were talking about the possibility she had a prior relationship with Joe, and that they were questioning her integrity. None of this is true. Today Pudding is sleeping on her heated mat and has no intention of waking up for continued Jamie drama, … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S8 E3: WTF Jamie

RECOMMENDED: How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! Shana read this one and gave it a B:
How to Find a Princess is an imaginative twist on a modern lost royal trope, and a character-driven story that made me fall in love with everyone I met, even if they occasionally frustrated me.
