Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
RECOMMENDED: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett is $1.99! We had a guest squee review of this one:
Chilling, packed with lore, and a slow burn, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett is the type of book I’ve been looking for. Their adventure from faerie field research to two professors running like hell from a faerie nightmare kept me on the edge of my seat.
This guest review is from Danielle Fritz. Danielle is a former librarian who has a special affection for children’s lit and books about the funeral industry. She first cut her criticism teeth as a fanfic writer. A resident of the upper midwest, she’s learned to love beer and tater tot casserole and tolerate long winters. Most nights will find her cuddled up with her pups and wearing out her wrists with yet another crochet project. … Continue reading The Vengeful Vampire by Kathryn Ann Kingsley
Happy Wednesday! (Is it Wednesday?) I have a vacation coming up in three weeks, but before that, I have to get through so many deadlines and things. Woof. I can’t tell if working toward a vacay makes me more motivated or just makes all the deadlines more annoying. The Thursday Murder Club adaptation comes out this week. My friend and I are doing a buddy watch over the weekend. I asked her what she wanted me … Continue reading Links: Censorship, a Subway for Cats, & More
A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin is $1.99! This one was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet, though we don’t have a formal review. Did any of you read it? What did you think?

I liked Chuck Tingle’s book Camp Damacus, but I loved Lucky Day (I still haven’t read Bury Your Gays). I found Lucky Day to be much more assured and solidly constructed than his first book, and its X-Files/Welcome to Nightvale sensibility and musings on existential vs nihilistic philosophies really hit the spot for me. I even liked the fact that what seems like a potential romance turns out to be something else. Vera is a … Continue reading Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle
A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston is $1.99! The heroine finds herself in a small town romance novel and I’m definitely tempted by the meta-ness of it all. However, Poston’s romances have always been middle of the road for me personally.
This HaBO comes from Ashley, who wants to find this historical romance: I have scoured the internet and triple checked my reading history, but have not been able to find this book or the series it belongs to. This is my last ditch effort before I give up and write the book myself because it must not exist outside of my head. The book in question is a historical romance where the nobleman (can’t remember … Continue reading HaBO: He Finds Her at a Wife Sale
To Beguile a Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is book three in the Legend of the Four Soldiers series. There is definitely a Beauty and the Beast element here. Have you read this series?
I had to step away from Karin Slaughter as an author a few years ago because the discussions around sexual assault in her books were too graphic for me. When I saw she had a brand new series coming out, I decided to risk it and I’m glad I did. We Are All Guilty Here is the first book in a new series set in North Falls, GA so readers can go into this one … Continue reading We Are All Guilty Here by Karin Slaughter
