RECOMMENDED: Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik is $2.99! This is a sci-fi romance and I absolutely loved it. Be warned that it does have a bit of a pushy alpha hero. You can read my A- here:
I am so incredibly happy that this book is in the world, especially after feeling like I’ve exhausted all my sci-fi romance options. Polaris Rising is exciting. It’s funny. It’s fan-fucking-tastic. My quibbles are minor in comparison to the joyful Good Book Noises I made while reading this.

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston is 99c! This is the first book in the Honey Badger Chronicles. Sarah read this one and gave it a B grade:
Among my favorite things about Laurenston’s writing is how very affirming and inspiring and a whole lot of fun it is, because angry, fearless women make room for themselves, they get shit done, and they’re the heroines. More honey badgers, please.

The Richmond Thief by Lisa Boero is 99c! Lara, who is now a reviewer for the site, wrote a previous guest review for this one and it earned a B+:
I was bumbling along in a reading rut, neither excited nor bored, just, well… fine. Then, Lady Trent came along and blew me right out of my rut and into reading heaven. I love her! I want to be her! I want to be her friend! And yes, when talking about her ONLY exclamation marks will do!

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which has four pages of deals today! This was described to me as a fantasy YA Ocean’s Eleven with heist hijinks. I’ve also heard that the audiobook is really good. A lot of readers say the book lived up to its hype. Some say it takes a while to get invested, but that it’s so worth it.

A Midnight Feast is Book 4 (a novella) in the Fly Me To The Moon Series. This series is set in the early days of the space race. I enjoyed Earth Bound from this series. A Midnight Feast is also good, but not as well developed. This story is about Margie Dunsford, a recurring character in the series. She is the undisputed leader of the astronauts’ wives. She cooks for funerals, she cleans for exhausted new moms, … Continue reading A Midnight Feast by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner →
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. Instead of focusing on an author for September, we figured we would switch it … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Nerds in Love →

STEM characters alert! Earth Bound is a historical romance set in the early 1960s, part of the Fly Me To The Moon series. Before I go any further, may I say that it is refreshing to see a historical that isn’t set in the Regency Era, the Victorian Era, or the 1920s. I love reading romance in those time periods, but I also think that setting a romance series in the 1960s during early days … Continue reading Earth Bound by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner →
