Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Network Effect by Martha Wells is $2.99! This is the first full-length Murderbot novel, which Sarah reviewed. The next book, Fugitive Telemetry, is also on sale. Sarah also has these glowing things to say:
I cannot encourage you more vociferously to grab this on sale, and read the series (possibly more than once). It, no exaggeration, got me through 2020, it is the series I find comfort in, and I cannot recommend it with more affection. Please do not miss out on this sale.
I dithered for a week before starting this book. I had it in my possession, but couldn’t get past the first page. I’m not sure if this is unique to me, but when I’m really looking forward to something, it’s very difficult for me to start it. Then, one morning I bit the bullet and pushed through to page two.

Tables of romance novels were before me. This might be where I go when I die, I’m not sure. Overall, A … Continue reading A Novel Romance

RECOMMENDED: The Stand-In by Lily Chu is $1.99! This is a debut contemporary romance. Elyse gave this one an A:
So we have a celebrity romance, women being friends and helping each other with their mental health, and reflections on identity and community. That’s a lot to pack into a book, but it all works and delivered by Philippa Soo’s incredibly soothing voice, it was totally my jam.
