Books on Sale: Written in Red by Anne Bishop & More

RECOMMENDED BY MANY: Written in Red by Anne Bishop is 99c! This is the first book in The Others series, and it has a 4+ star average. I love this series and many readers of the site do too.

Books on Sale: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas & More

RECOMMENDED: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas is $2.99! Both Sarah and Carrie read this book and enjoyed it.

Sarah gave it a B+:  I haven’t shut up about this book since I finished it. My outbound text messages are mostly hollering, squeeing, and long strings of vowels about this book.

I’m so excited this book exists. I’m so excited that I got to read it. I’m so excited there will be more.

Carrie gave it B: I can’t WAIT to find out what Charlotte, Livia, and Mrs. Watson are up to. I hope it involves them being protective of each other, empowering, and smart. The excitement is palpable!
