This book is kind of a weird read. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I think I mean it in a good way? It’s mostly charmingly bizarre. This book puts a lot of plates spinning in the air, and while some of them end up crashing to the ground and breaking, the show is fun while it lasts. The basic premise is that Grace and Sebastian are two scholarly nerds who are friends. … Continue reading My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh →
We have a whole new batch of new releases to discuss. And by “batch,” I mean over forty! We also have two books with the same title released this month, which I thought was kind of neat. I think we’ve name-checked all the big releases; I couldn’t think of anything we left off. If we did, please chime in below. What November books are on your to-read list?
The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin is $2.99! This collection includes all three books, plus a novella. That’s almost 1500 pages for less than $3. Jemisin has won numerous awards, has been reviewed favorably on the site, and is really an amazing writing. Seriously, this is a steal.

You know how sometimes you need a hook upon which to hang your suspension of disbelief to make a book work? Yeah, to borrow a phrase from Sarah, I need a suspension bridge of disbelief for this one. The concept is good and interesting, the characters are great, and the heroine and hero make emotional sense together, but she’s a former sex worker and he’s a duke. That’s just…nope. So Tom is the heir to … Continue reading Dare to Love A Duke by Eva Leigh →
Welcome to Lit Wicks! This is where we pair an author’s backlist with candles to really immerse yourself in the reading experience. All of the candles featured in these post are from Etsy, which means there is often worldwide shipping and that you’re supporting independent crafters and sellers. The Etsy candle rabbit hole is one I have gone down many times. We’re honoring author Eva Leigh/Zoe Archer with November’s Lit Wicks selection! Her Blades of the … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Zoe Archer/Eva Leigh →
It’s time for Cover Awe, where we look at pretty covers and discuss what we like about them! Elyse: Oh wow. Amanda: I think we had a previous cover in this series on Cover Awe. They are just killing it with these colors. Sarah: This series has excellent covers, I agree. There’s a compelling prismatic effect to the dress folds which I love. Wow. CarrieS: Yes, pls. Will read. Will stare at cover. Sarah: Something … Continue reading Cover Awe: Anastasia, Doggos, & Pretty Dresses →
How to Forget a Duke by Vivienne Lorret is $1.99! This is the first book in the Misadventures in Matchmaking series, and Elyse gave this one a B grade:
How to Forget a Duke is a delightfully tropey Regency featuring a hero who goes from loveable curmudgeon to joyfully in love. So how tropey is it, you ask? We’ve got enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, matchmaking, and–hell yeah–amnesia. All of it works, and honestly, this romance is just so fun that it made my day.
