A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers is $2.99! Sarah loved this one and gave it an A-. It was also her favorite read of 2021:
Thinking about that book brings back the feeling of awe and stillness and gratitude I had when reading it. It’s so peaceful and kind. I almost miss it (which is fixable because I can re read).
To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers is $1.99! This one, I believe, is a stand alone sci-fi novel. Chambers is an auto-buy for most of us and if you’ve missed it, check out the podcast episode she did with Sarah!
The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon is $1.99! This is also a Kindle Daily Deal. Catherine read this one and gave it a B-:
There was some lovely writing, some fantastic banter, and I really did like Shay and Dominic together. They had terrific chemistry and the sort of teasing relationship that makes me very happy, because it means there is a firm foundation of friendship underneath the romance.
A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers is $1.99! This is book two in the Wayfarers series, and I believe this should be read in order. Please correct me if I’m wrong! Sarah also did a podcast episode with Becky last week. Give it a listen!

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is $1.99! This scifi novel has been recommended and loved by many of my friends, and talked about highly in my book group. The book has some great queer representation, though readers remarked it’s more character driven than plot driven. And what a coincidence that it’s on sale as we just mentioned this in yesterday’s Whatcha Reading!
RECOMMENDED: Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews is $3.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. Many of us romance readers can’t recommend this series or this author enough. You can pick this one up without read the story arc of the previous three, but why would you want to deprive yourself of Ilona Andrews goodness.
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! This is the first book in her Reluctant Royals series and this seems to be a series that just keeps getting better with its books. Many readers loved how Alyssa writes consent, agency, and all sorts of other awesome and empowering things. However, some warn that this book takes several chapters to get into the swing of things.
