SBTB is more independent, and probably 48% more silly
Two Steps Forward by Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist is $1.99! Sarah read this one and gave it a B- grade:
While I can see and enumerate the flaws I found in my own experience with this book, I also very much enjoyed it, and feel honored to have experienced the Camino with the characters, and the journey within the story itself.
This HaBO comes from Ky, who wants to find this contemporary romance. Content warning for the description below: I’ve been desperately trying to find the the name of this book that I read around 2018-20. I think it was written in the 2010s and I read it as an ebook. These are the details I remember: – I think the couple were childhood sweethearts and they broke up after discovering their parents were having an … Continue reading HaBO: Main Characters’ Parents Were Having an Affair
RECOMMENDED: Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron is $2.99! Kiki reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
I cannot emphasize enough how hungry this book will make you.
Accidentally Engaged might be my top pick for “don’t read while hungry.” Between our heroine Reena’s bread baking (there’s rye, there’s challah, there’s an ongoing battle with a sourdough starter) and her Indian and East African cooking, I was craving a feast pretty much the whole time I was reading this book.
This HaBO request is from Nina, who wants to find this dark contemporary romance. Trigger warning for the description below: I have been trying to find this book since forever. It’s a motorcycle club book wherein the hero is a biker and the heroine almost dies due to a drug overdose. The heroine (due to some circumstances) gets it on with a drug dealer from another biker club, who she met after she and the … Continue reading HaBO: Dark Romance with Addiction Issues
The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas is $1.99! This is book four in the Lady Sherlock series, which the Bitchery and Sarah highly recommend. I do believe these books should be read in order, but if you’re looking to collect all the books on your Kindle, this is a great deal.
Hey! It’s Monday and we think it’s the perfect time for Cover Snark. From Jen: This motorcycle seems to be running over the guy, or maybe it’s a ghost cycle? Amanda: Run him over! He knows what he did! Also, his abs could technically be speed bumps. Sarah: This is some fine vintage Poser art. and I’m reasonably sure from the cover copy that the hero is a motorcycle shifter. Elyse: Is that the Black … Continue reading Cover Snark: Too Smooth
How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith is $4.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, a newish release, and was mentioned either on Hide Your Wallet or Whatcha Reading. This isn’t a bad price for a current bestseller, especially if you don’t want to pay full hardcover price or wait for a library hold to come in.
Along Came A Lady is ridiculous, but initially I found it to be ridiculous fun. This Regency romance pits an etiquette teacher against a stubborn miner in a “Pygmalion” type story with a battle of wits and wills, plus a dash of “The Prince and the Pauper” and a smidgen of Poldark. Alas, the story went off the rails at around the 75% mark and soon began making even less sense than it did at … Continue reading Along Came a Lady by Christi Caldwell
Scoundrel of My Heart by Lorraine Heath is 60c! This might be the lowest price I’ve seen besides free. This is a Kindle Daily Deal and only seems to be valid at Amazon right now. It’s book one in the Once Upon a Dukedom series, which released this March.
We’re approaching the end of August and that means it’s time for our second monthly Whatcha Reading post! We want to hear all about what you’ve been reading, though here are some of our books from the month! Shana: I’m halfway into the audiobook of Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. It’s a little slow plot-wise, but really hitting my sweet spot with its caring space collective. I also just started One Last … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2021, Part Two
