The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which are all Goodreads Choice Award winners and finalists. Carrie read this one and gave it a B grade:

Deadline by Stephanie Ahn is $3.99! Now, this might be full price but I wanted to include it because it sounds fucking amazing.

My first impressions of “His Road Home” were as follows: If the blurb is to be believed, there is A LOT going on in this story.
