Birding with Benefits by Sarah T. Dubb is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance with birding. I feel like birding had a real moment, given that there was a Hallmark movie made with smooching and birders.
I thought this book was lovely. It had real depth. There were characters who made me angry. Sometimes those characters were truly awful people and sometimes they were good people who made mistakes (hello, Luc, you mess). Sometimes the book made me sad. Mostly, it made me swoon and laugh in equal measure – a great stress read!
A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley is $1.99! This is book two in the Glimmer Falls series, which didn’t work for me as I prefer my paranormal romances to be a little darker. The heroine is a gym rat witch and the hero is a snarky demon with amnesia.
Welcome back to Hide Your Wallet! It’s Tuesday and we’re talking new releases! It appears that Sarah’s trend prediction of romance with mystery elements is spot-on. There are also a couple emotional contemporaries and of course, more fantasy romances. What new releases are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! I feel like this is one of more eclectic selections we’ve done. I have a graphic novel with samurais, a man turning into a shark, non-fiction about the myth of the American family, and a new fantasy romance. Do you have any books you’d like to recommend? Or any slam dunk recommendations you’ve received lately? Let us know!
All the Right Notes by Dominic Lim is $2.99! Dahlia mentioned this one over the summer in her monthly queer romances column. It’s was also Lim’s debut!
The Black Lily by Juliette Cross is 99c! This is a Cinderella-esque vampire romance and the rest of the series has fairy tale influences. I really enjoyed this book, but Ellen wound up reviewing it and liked it less, giving it a C.
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston is $4.99! I don’t believe we’ve ever had this one on sale before. Carrie reviewed this and gave it C, nothing that she was very confused by this one. Do you feel the same?

The Raven Spell by Luanne G. Smith is $1.99 at Amazon! This is book one in a series that seems to combine fantasy, mystery, and historical settings. It’s been on my TBR pile since it came out earlier this year.
