As You Wish by Cary Elwes is $1.99! This is a memoir about the making of The Princess Bride, which is a movie that many love (including myself). Readers say the nostalgia-factor is high and there’s even some discussion regarding Andre the Giant’s epic farts. However, some readers mention that the writing was a bit stilted at times.
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik is $2.99! This is a lovely fantasy with romantic elements. My friend and I recently discussed Novik and comparisons between Uprooted and Spinning Silver. We feel Spinning Silver was the better of the two, but both are still REALLY GOOD. What are your thoughts?
RECOMMENDED: The Bride by Julie Garwood is $1.99 at Amazon! This is one of my favorite historical romances and was one of my gateway reads to the genre, if you’ve listened to the What Made Us Romance Readers podcast episode. It has a 4.2-star rating on Goodreads!
RECOMMENDED: Blamed by Edie Harris is $2.99! I loved this romantic suspense, especially the part where the heroine thinks the hero is dead and the moment where they reunite. But I will warn you that it’s incredibly violent. I gave it an A-:
This book was an amazingly pleasant surprise and I lost track of the number of good book noises I made while reading it. I’m still getting my feet wet when it comes to romantic suspense, but I picked a good book to try out.
We have a pretty interesting trio this week! Elyse reviews an erotic historical with a menage romance and a heroine who dresses like a man. Meanwhile, Carrie tackles a book-themed cookbook that uses meals from literature, and a new comic by author Marjorie M. Liu, who is known for her paranormal romances.
