The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon is $2.99! Maya reviewed this one and wasn’t quite sold on the hero. Have you read this one? What’d you think about this one and Rochon’s follow up The Dating Playbook?
RECOMMEND: Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai is $1.99! This is the third book in the Forbidden Hearts series. It’ll probably behoove you to read the previous books, as this one does wrap up some things. Elyse wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it a B+.
RECOMMENDED: The Diviners by Libba Bray is $2.99! This is YA fantasy set in 1920s New York, so you can bet there are plenty of amazing clothes and fancy speakeasies. I personally loved the cast of characters, especially the heroine Evie and Evie’s uncle, who happens to curate an occult museum. However, some people found Evie to border on the TSTL category. Any readers care to weigh in on what they thought?
It’s Wednesday! But man, I wish we were closer to the weekend. My fall allergies have made a resurgence and Benadryl reduces me to a useless, blanketed lump. Hopefully your week is going better! … The Book Smugglers have started a Kickstarter campaign! Sarah has already backed the project and I probably will as well: In 2018, The Book Smugglers turns 10 years old—and it’s now time to level up! We want to do more. … Continue reading Links: Kickstarter, Cosplay, & Witches
Blood Kiss by J.R. Ward is $1.99! This is the first book in the spinoff paranormal romance series, Black Dagger Legacy. Fans of the original Black Dagger Brotherhood say it’s a good addition to the world, but it doesn’t hold the same excitement as the original series. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell is $1.99! This book is a reader favorite, with a poignant ending and a powerful set of characters.
When Sarah collected recommendations for the best YA of 2013, this book was mentioned constantly. NPR’s Linda Holmes wrote:
Ultimately, Eleanor & Park is an enormously optimistic book about love and connection, and about the capacity of people to be powerfully consoling and healing to each other, even when they’re 16. And for that healing to be meaningful, there has to be some honesty about the injury.
READER RECOMMENDATION: This Crumbling Pageant by Patricia Burroughs is 99c! This is a fantasy romance set in historical England. A reader sent us a glowing recommendation of the book:
One of the very best books I’ve read in a while is on sale for a ridiculous ninety-nine cents for Kindle. I can’t understand it because it is worth so very much more. It is volume one in a trilogy and I pray this silly price means volume two is on its way because I would pay full price for volume two because volume one was that good. I believe I gave it a four star review.
