By the Book by Jasmine Guillory is $2.99! This could be a leftover deal from the Kindle Daily Deals of yesterday, so apologies if this one goes rather quickly. This is a Beauty and the Beast inspired contemporary romance and we’ve had the cover on Cover Awe before.
The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren is $2.99! This is the duo’s latest romance and if you didn’t want to grab it in hardcover, this is a great price. I’m a huge fan of these authors, though I haven’t gotten around to starting this one yet. Have you read it?
Torn by Rowenna Miller is $2.99! This is a fantasy novel with a seamstress main character. Carrie read this one and gave it a C+. The pacing was too slow for her, but it’s possible future books may pick up in momentum:
This book is the first in a new series. It has a lot of potential – good technical writing, multiple female characters, discussion of class and class mobility, clothes porn, and more. If other books pick up the pace, it could be great, but this first book was too slow to keep me invested.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer is $2.99! This is the first book in the Lunar Chronicles series. Set in New Beijing, a fictional world of the future, Cinder is influenced by several fairy tales, so if you’re a sucker for retellings, you may want to give this is a try. I love the cover redesigns and bought them all when they came out.
Hi, there! It’s Wednesday afternoon; do you know where your links are? (Hint: they’re right here.) There is only one more spooky week in October (the spookiest week!) and I refuse to believe it. I’m not ready for turkey comas and for the slow chill of winter to creep into my bones. However, I have no qualms about breaking out the down comforter a little early. … Illustrated covers are a divisive topic in romance … Continue reading Links: News, Librarians, & More
Reindeer Games is available for preorder for only 99c! This features nine holiday romances with a snowed in theme, and it comes out December 1. I’ll definitely be preordering this one as it features some authors that I absolutely love. Are you interested as well?
READER RECOMMENDED: Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey is $2.99! This is a highly recommended fantasy novel and we have a great guest squee from a reader named Betty:
This book was the first of a trilogy and there is a damn good reason the series is listed among the best of its genre. It is like Lord of the Ringswith anal sex. It is like The Wheel of Time with BDSM. It is like The Wizard of Earthsea with un-emphasized and natural bisexuality. It was Game of Thrones with less incest and more consensual sex.
Seriously, I loved Kushiel’s Dart.
RECOMMENDED: A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn is $2.99 at Amazon! This is a historical mystery and Sarah really enjoyed it. She also immediately read the second one after finishing the first. Here’s what she said:
I read A Curious Beginning with an I-cannot-put-this-down enthusiasm and devoured it very quickly. I relished both the characters and the mystery. The Veronica Speedwell series is excellent and intelligent fun, and while the second isn’t quite as satisfying as the first, I heartily recommend them both.
