Nimona by Noelle Stevenson is $1.99! This graphic novel comes highly recommended and if you dug Carrie’s Lumberjanes review, you might consider picking this one up. Some were a little confused by the end to this graphic novel, but many loved the blend of science, action, and humor. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is $1.99! The next two books are also available at a reduced price. I gave the book an A, though there’s a great discussion in the comments if you’re on the fence:
I can say, without a doubt, that A Promise of Fire is going on my keeper shelf. I want more of these characters and I want more of this world. I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savor and devour a book, and Bouchet’s writing is so engaging and magical that I wish she had some sort of backlist I could dive into for the next few months.

They are just killing it with these colors. Sarah: This series has excellent covers, I agree. There’s a compelling prismatic effect to the dress folds which I love. Wow. CarrieS: Yes, pls. Will read. Will stare at cover. Sarah: Something … Continue reading Cover Awe: Anastasia, Doggos, & Pretty Dresses
RECOMMENDED: The Courtesan Duchess by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This is a historical romance where the couple is married, but estranged. This is also the first book in the Wicked Deceptions series, which Redheadedgirl loved!

Once a Soldier by Mary Jo Putney is $1.99! Readers loved the strong heroine and how she paired well with the hero, but others found a bulk of the book to be dull and lacking any momentum. This is the first book in the Rogues Redeemed series. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. It’s a scifi novel with some great female characters. Readers say that though this scifi is a little darker and less “feel good,” the loved it. However, some felt a bulk of the book was just setup and information dumping for the next book. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads. Elyse enjoyed this one and I really loved the audiobook.
RECOMMENDED: All In by Simona Ahrnstedt is $1.99! Redheadedgirl gave the book an A:
I felt like this was full of Shakespearean drama, and scheming families, and hot sex, and gorgeous clothes, but also some important things to say about how the world is functioning. There’s a lot going on, though, and the ending a tad rushed.
Bloodline by Claudia Gray is $1.99! This scifi novel is a Star Wars tie-in that focuses on our favorite general and princess! However, this book focuses more on Leia’s time as a senator. This book has been recommended to me countless times, though some readers found the writing a bit awkward. Have you read this one?

RECOMMENDED: Time Served by Julianna Keyes is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance with an ex-con hero and it was mentioned on a previous podcast with Jane, who recommends Keyes if you like “moody loner dudes:”
You kind of have two unlikeable people. They reconnect after he’s out of prison. She’s a lawyer. She’s trying to angle for a promotion within her law firm, and they’re working on this class action suit regarding medical illnesses caused in a, a factory. So she runs into him again. There’s a lot of attraction there, lot of unresolved issues, and she can’t really bring herself to admit that she wants him, so he says, you don’t have to admit it, you only have to say no, which she never does. I thought it was a very gritty book, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
