It's Cover Snark, but Just one Book
Forbidden by Jo Beverley is $2.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! This is the fourth book in the Company of Rogues series and there is a content warning at the end of the description. There is a hefty amount of frustrating miscommunication mentioned by some reviewers. But if you’re looking to round out your Beverley collection, grab this sale while you can.
Time for more podcast episode recommendations! Why a recurring post of episode recommendations? Two reasons! First, it’s Thanksgiving here in the US, and maybe by now you need a break from all the talking and also the talking. I can relate. I’ve got a few thought provoking and fun recommended episodes, and I hope they bring you a few moments of relaxation or at least control of what you’re hearing. I often find that … Continue reading November 23, 2017 Podcast Episode Recommendations
Back in July, I reviewed the insanely fun but also somewhat problematic book Max Seventeen . I have now read the sequel, Max Seventeen: Firebrand and I loved it, despite some problematic elements (so many rape threats, sigh) that lowered the grade. It has all the elements that made the first book fun, including a fantastic romance, but it has less of the problematic stuff from the first book – there’s still some, but much less. … Continue reading Max Seventeen: Firebrand by Kate Johnson

RECOMMENDED: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is 62c at Amazon and 99c at Barnes & Noble! The second book is also on sale and we have a chapter one reveal of the third and final book! I gave the book an A:
I can say, without a doubt, that A Promise of Fire is going on my keeper shelf. I want more of these characters and I want more of this world. I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savor and devour a book, and Bouchet’s writing is so engaging and magical that I wish she had some sort of backlist I could dive into for the next few months. If you’re even slightly tempted by this review or from the chapter one excerpt, buy this book. Because I need more people to discuss it with, pronto!
Around here, we adore Jane the Virgin, and I’ve been loving the storyline of Jane becoming a romance author. Some of those trials and tribulations are just too real. This is supposed to be Jane’s first novel, which is about to be published in the timeline of the show. It’s broken the fourth wall and appeared in our hands. And… guys, I tried. I really really did. But there’s a fundamental truth that what works … Continue reading Snow Falling by Jane Gloriana Villanueva
This HaBO request is from Hazel, who’s trying to find a book based on the first scene: This is a book sample I read a while ago and I meant to buy the full book but didn’t get around to it, and now I can’t find/remember the title. The opening scene is some type of high-society fundraiser at a library, and the guests are doing a silent dance party – where they’re dancing with headphones … Continue reading HaBO: Silent Dance Party at a Fundraiser
Update: Deal no longer valid.
Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen is $2.99! I can’t recommended Allen’s books highly enough and I love the magical realism she incorporates. However, some readers wished they could have identified more with the characters. Are you fan of Allen’s writing?
This HaBO is from Dawn, who read an excerpt of this book and needs to find it: I never even got to read this book! It was a blurb in the back of another book and I could never find it again. It was about three friends who started a detective agency. They were in the lobby of a fancy hotel maybe getting ready to sneak into someone’s room, and one of the girls was … Continue reading HaBO: 3 Friends Start a Detective Agency
