Happy Wednesday! September is almost on its way out. Can you believe it? I’m so ready for October. I love spooky season, maple and pumpkin themed treats, cooler temps, and breaking out all the fluffy blankets. I’m also getting tattoo #3 and attending a friend’s Halloween wedding. Pretty pumped! How about you? Are you ready for October? … This is from the L.A. Times so it may be behind a paywall, but I was able to read … Continue reading Links: Fundraising, Washi Tape, & More→
More or Less a Marchioness by Anna Bradley is 99c! This is the first book in the Somerset Sisters series and came out just last month. Readers warn that it does take a while for the hero and heroine to finally interact, but once they do, it’s a pretty lovely romance.

Duke Darcy’s Castle by Syrie James is $1.99! This is the third Dare to Defy historical romance and I believe we snarked on this a little bit. I haven’t heard James’s books talked about a lot here. Have you read any?

The heroine’s best friend has had a baby … Continue reading HaBO: Second Chance Amnesia Romance→
Jade City by Fonda Lee is $2.99! This adult fantasy novel incredibly violent, according to reviews. But readers loved the world building and threads of mythology weaved into the story. To be honest, the book sounds intense and awesome, and a great follow up if you just watched Shangi Chi.

They’re vintage YA Romances, and to my knowledge they aren’t available digitally. Big heaping thanks to local used bookstores for helping me with this project! I have some vivid memories of scenes inside these novels, and some equally vivid memories of where I … Continue reading The Sweet Dreams Romance Recap Project→

How Sweet It Is by Dylann Newton is $1.99! I believe this was Newton’s debut and it release relatively recently. It’s an opposites attract romance between a horror writer and a wedding planner. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this one!
Welcome to Lightning Reviews! For the uninitiated, this is where we run smaller, more bite-sized reviews of books, usually as a pair or trio. I think the subject line here pretty much says it all. We have a book with mermaids and a book with dragons being reviews. Both are queer and magical.
