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.
A Governess’s Guide to Passion and Peril by Manda Collins is $2.99! This is book four in the Ladies Most Scandalous series. Have you read any of these?
RECOMMENDED: The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal is $2.99! Carrie read this one and gave it a B grade:
Even though at first I found this book to be slow going, I came to appreciate it for its intersectional feminism and its unabashed adoration of all the science and math that goes into making space flight possible.
RECOMMENDED: Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron is $2.49! This was mentioned on a previous podcast and a previous Whatcha Reading. The second book of Aaron’s we’ve featured this week and the comments had good things to say about Aaron’s storytelling. Sarah loved this book:
Nice Dragons Finish Last is fast-moving fantasy adventure with outstanding worldbuilding. It’s an experience to read.
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna $1.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this one! Fingers crossed it’s still ons ale.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is $1.99! Not sure if this is a leftover KDD from yesterday, so snap this one up if you can. Shana reviewed this one and gave it a Squee grade:
Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.
Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Sarah mentioned in on a Hide Your Wallet and we’re all very curious about this historical fantasy with potentially dark, witchy lesbians. Carrie gave this one a C+ and take care to check the content warnings.
The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner is $1.99! Lara mentioned this one in a previous Hide Your Wallet. It’s historical fiction with a group of people coming together post-WWII to repair Jane Austen’s estate.
A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem by Manda Collins is $2.99! This one is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and has new Bridgerton inspired cover. Some readers loved the balance of romance and mystery, while others wanted more excitement from the plot.
