RECOMMENDED: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which also feature some great romance and historical fiction. AJ and I did a lot of squeeing about this one on a podcast episode. Will you understand what’s going on? Probably not, but you’ll have a lot of fun being clueless. I also gave it a B+:
Gideon the Ninth is a unique and bloody bananapants book, and I do think it’s worth a reader’s curiosity. Gideon is an unforgettable protagonist.

RECOMMENDED: The Princess Bride by William Goldman is $2.99 at Amazon! Goldman passed away on the 16th, so my guess is that this sale isn’t coincidental. This is a special illustrated edition of the book and the new cover looks absolutely gorgeous. Though, of course, because it’s illustrated, readers may want a hard copy of this rather than a digital one. We also recently ran a Squee from the Keeper Shelf review of The Princess Bride.
Lightning Reviews: Continuations!
Welcome to Lightning Reviews! These are quick reviews that are no more than five hundred words in length. They may be even shorter than that, but the summer gives me brain fog and I don’t remember the exact word count. All of these reviews are from Carrie and she had a great idea to theme them as “continuations.” I do love a good theme!

Armistice by Lara Elena Donnelly
Back in 2017 I reviewed Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly. This was the first book in a series about a slightly alternate 1920s/1930s era Europe. The first book pitted the members and patrons of The Bumble Bee Cabaret against the rising fascist party (the Ospies). You will definitely want to read Amberlough before you read Armistice. The sequel, Armistice, picks up three years after the end of Amberlough, with the characters of that novel scattered. Cordelia … Continue reading Armistice by Lara Elena Donnelly

RECOMMENDED: Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, so if you missed the sale a couple months ago, you have a second chance. Carrie read this one and really loved it, giving it an A. However, she warns of a cliffhanger, which means you might want to get the next book ASAP.

RECOMMENDED: Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly is $2.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale! The book also has a new cover. I like it, but I’m not sure if I like it more than the old one. What do you think? Carrie read this one and really loved it, giving it an A. However, she warns of a cliffhanger. The next book is out May 15th!

Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly
Amberlough is an intense fantasy spy novel that ends on a cliffhanger. It’s not a romance novel, but there is romance in it. It’s a novel in which none of the main characters seem especially tender or affectionate and yet everyone is motivated by love. Amberlough is technically a fantasy novel in the sense that it takes place in an alternate world, but there are no magic spells or dragons (alas). The city of Amberlough … Continue reading Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly
