Holiday Gift Guide: Gifting Books and Linking Indies

Enamel pin of a stack of books

There are so many sales on so many things going on this week. There’s the long tail of Black Friday, then Cyber Monday and Small Tuesday and Giving Wednesday and keeping up with it makes me want to lie down in the dark.

Books on Sale: First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel & More

First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel is $2.99! This is a contemporary romance where two exes become roommates. We featured this one on a previous edition of Cover Awe. Shana gave this a B-:

Readers who like to root for a couple who are up against a closed-minded community, and who sympathize with an anxious, and occasionally strident heroine, would enjoy First Love, Take Two. If you’re looking for a standalone romance, low angst, and a couple with stellar communications skills, this might not be for you.

Books on Sale: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall & More

HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDA Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is $1.99! Not sure if this is a leftover KDD from yesterday, so snap this one up if you can. Shana reviewed this one and gave it a Squee grade:

Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.
