RECOMMENDED: The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is $1.99! Carrie squeed about this one:
I adored every part of this story – the stakes, the world-building, the language, the characters, and the action. I can’t wait to read more of it.

The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Holton is $1.99! This is book two in the Dangerous Damsels series, which I found to give me the same vibes as Shelly Laurenston. It’s just over the top, goofy fun!
RECCOMENDED: The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman is $1.99! Lara previously squeed about this one:
Honestly, writing this review has been so challenging, because I just want to scream ‘nuance’, ‘depth’ and ‘originality’.
Oh, and most of all, ‘Please read it so I can talk to you about it!’
Pony Confidential by Christina Lynch is $6.99! This is a little higher than your typical sale price, but it’s a pretty new release (Nov. 5th). Elyse read this one and thinks it’s well worth the sale price. When asking her what she thought, this is what she said:
It’s funny and made me happy cry. Warning that one horse does die within the book.
Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99! This is book four in the Wallflowers Quartet. I can’t remember if this one or the first one was my least favorite out of the four, but that being said…they’re all very good.
RECOMMENDED: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang is $1.99! I loved this book so much and gave it an A-:
The Bride Test is so beautiful and Hoang was right when she said it was impossible not to love Esme. She’s tenacious and battles against her fear of failure, of judgement, and of her own self-doubt, to become this confident and self-assured woman. This Bride Test has only solidified my love for Hoang’s romances; they are truly a gift to the genre.
