RECOMMENDED: A Talent for Trickery by Alissa Johnson is $3.82 at Amazon! The second book is the same price. I did a mulled wine recipe for this book as part of Covers & Cocktails. Carrie also reviewed it, giving it an A grade:
I liked the action and the mystery and above all I loved that Lottie’s super power is that she’s super smart and super practical. This book was funny and touching and has stayed in my head since I finished it. Now I just have to figure out how to make time for all the author’s other books. Sleep is overrated, right?

Update: Deal no longer valid.
Prudence by Gail Carriger is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched at most vendors. This book is the first book in her Custard Protocol series and Carrie gave it a B-:
The best and worst thing I could say about this series is that it’s very much like Carriger’s other series. It’s the worst thing in that there’s not a lot new in here except that it seems to be a series that gets us out of alternate universe England and into the rest of Empire. It’s the best thing because honestly Carriger’s world and style are just pure yummy candy.

RECOMMENDED: The Princess Bride by William Goldman is $2.99! This is a special illustrated edition of the book and the new cover looks absolutely gorgeous.Though, of course, because it’s illustrated, readers may want a hard copy of this rather than a digital one. We also recently ran a Squee from the Keeper Shelf review of The Princess Bride.

November in Boston (and in other parts of the world) is supposed to mean colder weather. Jill Shalvis on her Instagram is already posting photos of snow, for god’s sake. It’s beautiful by the way, but I prefer to admire that beauty from afar. I chose a warm drink to make this month because I thought I’d need something to keep me cozy and warm in the evenings. However, it’s been in the seventies this … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Mulled Wine →
