Some of It Was Real by Nan Fischer is $1.99! I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I was definitely curious about the medium character. Did any of you pick this one up?
There are fifty books on this dang new release list. Fifty! But there are so many more books being released this October. Here are a few more that have some buzz behind them: Garth Nix returns with Angel Mage . Penny Reid’s Smartypants Romance imprint is releasing Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen . Hidden Cove by Meg Tilly is the third book in her Solace Island series.
Happy Wednesday! Please bear with me as I’ve been up since 6:30am to squeeze in some gym time and attend my rearranged therapy appointment before Boston gets snow. If all goes according to plan, I will be napping by the time you all are reading this. … Did you know that actress Krysten Ritter (of Netflix’s Jessica Jones) is a fantastic knitter? I did not! But check out this video of Ritter giving some knitting tips … Continue reading Links: Armie Hammer, Knitting, & Movie News→
Wonder Women by Sam Maggs is $1.99! I was really taken by the adorable cover when I first saw it, and awesome women in history is definitely on brand for SBTB. There are over sixty women discussed in this book and many readers noted that they only heard of a small portion. The book does feature some illustrations, though, and I’m not sure how they’d translate digitally.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo is $2.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! A YA fantasy romance filled with Russian elements, Elyse just mentioned this on our 200th podcast episode. It’s the first book in Bardugo’s Grisha trilogy. While readers loved the engaging characters and interesting storyline, most felt the author was in the habit of telling rather than showing. It has a 4-star rating on GR. Has anyone read this?
RECOMMENDED: Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins is $2.99! Redheadedgirl gave this book an A and reminded us all how lucky we are to have an author like Jenkins:
What Jenkins has been doing for decades upon decades is giving her readers strong three-dimensional Black women who are loved, desired, and cherished. I can’t tell you how important that is. Eddy gets to be strong, but also loved and supported by her community and her man, and that is the thing I loved most about her. I’m so glad Jenkins is writing these stories and giving voice to these times and places and people. We’re really lucky to have her in our community.
Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched by a couple other places. Readers warn that this is a contemporary romance on the darker side, but many say this is a great debut by Anders. I know I’m picking this one up.

If you’re not, I still hope you made it through Tuesday like a champ! … Cheerios is giving away wildflower seeds to help #BringBacktheBees! To receive your packet of seeds, just fill out this form.
