RECOMMENDED: The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen is $1.99! I’ve talked about my love for Sarah Addison Allen before. Her books are literary fiction with magical realism and they’re such perfect comfort reads. I like Garden Spells (her debut) better, but this was still a good read.

RECOMMENDED: Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! So many readers were looking forward to this book when it first released, and Carrie gave it a B+:
Devil in Spring was so delightful that I read it slowly because I had to take frequent squee breaks. I truly cannot sufficiently express how overjoyed this book made me. That said, I don’t think it will be everyone’s catnip, because the main character sometimes seems overly young and naïve, even given her character quirks.

Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis is 99c! This is a fantasy romance novella and the first in a series. I also love this cover so much. Readers seemed to really like this one and their chief complaint seems to be that it was too short. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads. Have you read this one?

Grumpy Fake Boyfriend by Jackie Lau is 99c at most vendors and $2.99 at Barnes & Noble! Sarah and I wrote a joint review of this one and decided on a B-:
Amanda: There were some missteps for me, like the huge focus on finding love over a weekend getaway from everything, but I know I’ll be reading the next book by Lau. Her characters won me over.
Sarah: I absolutely agree with that – I’ll definitely read Lau’s next book. Her characters, especially their confidence and conversations, won me over, too.

Need You Now by Nicole Helm is 99c! This is the first book in the Mile High Romance series. It’s a contemporary romance with opposites attract elements. Readers seem divided on the hero. Some loved his grump nature, while others thought his grumpiness bordered on sad and rude.

Squee from the Keeper Shelf is a feature wherein we share why we love the books we love, specifically the stories which are permanent residents of our Keeper shelves. Despite flaws, despite changes in age and perspective, despite the passage of time, we love particular books beyond reason, and the only thing better than re-reading them is telling other people about them. At length. If you’d like to submit your reasons for loving and keeping … Continue reading Keeper Shelf: The Velvet Montgomery Series by Jude Deveraux →
RECOMMENDED: All In by Simona Ahrnstedt is $2.99 at Amazon, Google:Play, and iBooks! Hopefully other vendors will match the price. Redheadedgirl gave the book an A:
I felt like this was full of Shakespearean drama, and scheming families, and hot sex, and gorgeous clothes, but also some important things to say about how the world is functioning. There’s a lot going on, though, and the ending a tad rushed.
