Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons) by Quenby Olson is 99c! Big thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale. I mentioned this on a previous Get Rec’d after I saw several of our community members talking about it in the comments and I always try to highlight books our readers are loving right now.
Freya Marske’s new book Swordcrossed is out this week, and she’s joining us from the other side of the planet to talk about what she calls, “Fantasy of manners, mercantile edition.” We also talk about writing fanfic and her new favorite show, Interview with the Vampire. Yes, I did misnumber last week’s episode – sorry about that. Music: purple-planet.com
RECOMMENDED: A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvia Cathrall is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Elyse read this one and gave it an A:
If you are looking for a cozy fantasy read with excellent romance and worldbuilding, I highly recommend Letters to the Luminous Deep.
When we talked about DNFing books and why, a few of y’all asked if we could talk about re-reading, which is a popular antidote to Too Many DNFs in a Row. PamG wrote in the comments: I think it would be an interesting counterpoint to the DNF question to also discuss the practice of rereading. Some people never reread a book or so they claim. Others, myself included, have whole stables of books they gleefully … Continue reading Your Top Three Re-Reads — And Why!
Welcome back, everyone! Brian and I close on a house officially tomorrow! We are so excited, but definitely are having some sticker shock with closing costs + updates we want to do to the house before we move in. However, I’m so excited to start molding and shaping the space into something that feels like ours. My biggest projects: creating a little coffee bar in the kitchen and designed my peachy neon gamer girl paradise … Continue reading Links: Cat Tours, Cross Stitch, & More
RECOMMENDED: The Mimicking of Known Success by Malka Older is $2.99! We mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet and Carrie reviewed it and gave it a B+:
The writing technique is excellent, the worldbuilding interesting and poetic, the characters enjoyable to spend time with, and there’s tea. It was interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable – two thumbs up.

RECOMMENDED: Ten Things I Hate About the Duke by Loretta Chase is $1.99! Catherine loved this one and wrote a Squee review for it:
Ten Things I Hate About The Duke was a joy to read. The humour and banter was delightful, but this was also a book with a lot of heart.
This HaBO comes from Alisa! It’s a beefy one and does feature a terrible earl: I’ve been trying to find this book for absolutely ages, and I’m hoping that someone might be able to find it based on this description. It’s absolutely killing me that I remember so much of the plot of this book, but I can’t remember anything about the title, author, or character names. I’m pretty sure I read it in the … Continue reading HaBO: An Affair with the Earl’s Great-Nephew
Will They or Won’t They by Ava Wilder is $1.99! This is an enemies to lovers story with two actors who play love interests on-screen. Wilder’s debut How to Fake It in Hollywood had a lot of recommendations on the site, but I think this one isn’t as beloved.
