RECOMMENDED: Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone is $1.99! Fingers crossed this isn’t a leftover KDD from yesterday. I loved this book and it was my first Bastone. It’s on my list for the best releases of 2025.

RECOMMEND: The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary is $2.99! We had a great guest review of this one and Lisa the Librarian gave it an A-:
It was romantic, sweet, hot, funny, and original – everything I’m looking for in a romance. I can definitely see myself rereading this in the not-too-distant future.
Holly Black’s first novel marketed for adults is a gritty urban fantasy in which magic allows people to control their own, and sometimes other people’s, shadows, and in which the rich and powerful trade in secrets and books of lore while jockeying for power.

RECOMMENDED: Rare Vigilance by M.A. Grant is $1.99! Lara gave this one an A:
If you need to escape from the world for a bit and revel in a dangerous paranormal, then this book will deliver.
Shrill by Lindy West is $3.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. The book does deal with Lindy’s experience with eating, rape culture, and internet trolls, so there’s some pretty heavy stuff. It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks is $1.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. This is a historical romance with (you guessed it) a Scottish hero! The heroine is deaf and in an arranged marriage. Some readers thought the conflict was resolved rather easily, but many loved the romance between the hero and heroine. It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
RECOMMENDED: Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness is $1.99! Ness is an amazing author and my roommate swears by his books. This is the third and final book in the Chaos Walking trilogy and it’s definitely a series you have to read in order. But in case you’ve been waiting for this one, now’s your chance to grab it. As with any end to a series, some people loved the conclusion and some didn’t. However, it has a 4.2-star rating on Goodreads, which is pretty impressive.
