Your Top Three Re-Reads — And Why!

Featured image for Your Top Three Re-Reads — And Why!

When we talked about DNFing books and why, a few of y’all asked if we could talk about re-reading, which is a popular antidote to Too Many DNFs in a Row. PamG wrote in the comments: I think it would be an interesting counterpoint to the DNF question to also discuss the practice of rereading. Some people never reread a book or so they claim. Others, myself included, have whole stables of books they gleefully … Continue reading Your Top Three Re-Reads — And Why!

Books on Sale: A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles & More

RECOMMENDED: A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles is $2.75 at Amazon! I’m hoping this isn’t a soon-expiring Kindle Daily Deal from yesterday. Lara gave this one an A-:

For me, the best part of this book was the conversations between Luke and Rufus, both in the bedroom and outside of it. There was such a profound connection between the two, that it was easy for me to be swept away by it.

Books on Sale: Codename Charming by Lucy Parker & More

RECOMMENDED: Codename Charming by Lucy Parker is $1.99! This could be a leftover KDD from the weekend. Lara gave this a B and liked it better than I did:

Overall I liked this book, though some parts were much more swoony than others, especially as the tension between them became mostly me, the reader, waiting for one of them to admit their feelings to the other already. While the waiting part wasn’t my favourite, the emotional development and vulnerability between Pet and Matthias was delicious.

Codename Charming by Lucy Parker

Codename Charming

I didn’t read book one in this series and perhaps I should have, but I am jolly glad I read book two. It’s a treat. Petunia De Vere (who everyone calls ‘Pet’ which takes some getting used to) is the personal assistant to a newly minted royal – Johnny Marchmont.

Books on Sale: Inda by Sherwood Smith & More

RECOMMENDED: Inda by Sherwood Smith is 99c! We had a guest Squee from the Keeper Shelf about this one:

I read Inda for the first time in 10th grade, and it totally blew me away. It was different from anything I’d ever read, and it permanently altered the way I read (mostly by making me wayyy pickier). I adore this series, the characters, the world, everything.
