Hello, everyone! How are we all? Recovering from all the delicious food? Lamenting the loss of the long weekend? I had my latest Covid shot and wow did it do a number on me. Glad I got it, but this has been the worst for me in terms of side effects. My partner and I made some yummy sides. My favorite were some hot honey diced carrots. I could eat a whole bowl by myself. … Continue reading Links: Dog Shows, Fantasy, & More
Dragon Actually by G.A. Aiken is $1.99! This is the first book in the Dragon Kin series, which many praise for having kickass heroines. It also looks like the book has a new cover. I apparently read this book according to my Goodreads, but I remember next to nothing about it.
Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James is $1.99! This is an earlier James contemporary romance with a lawyer heroine and an actor hero. Readers loved the heroine, but found that the ending’s pace was a bit abrupt and choppy. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: First Grave on the Right is the first book in Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series, and it’s $1.99 right now. This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Books 1-10 are currently discounted, so grab ’em while you can! Here’s what Sarah had to say about the book:
When I’ve been at conferences with Jones, readers and authors come up to her and tell her how much they love this series. This book won the Golden Heart in 2009, and the RITA for Best First Book in 2012. The heroine, Charley, is terrific. I listened to the audiobook performance by Lorelei King (after buying the Kindle copy on sale I was offered a discounted audio copy) and it was really good. I didn’t want to stop walking the dogs, that’s for sure.
First Touch by Laurelin Paige is $1.99 at Amazon and Kobo! It’s also $2.99 at All Romance. I mentioned in on December’s Hide Your Wallet post. This is definitely on the darker side and does have a cliffhanger. Some readers had trouble connecting with the heroine, but many say this is a book that will grab you and not let go. It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman is a Kindle Daily Deal for $1.99! Unfortunately, it’s not being price matched yet. This is a collection of short stories that Carrie was excited about last February. Readers mentioned there’s a diverse selection of twenty-four stories, but a few others prefer his longform stuff. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Unnatural Creatures by Neil Gaiman is $1.99! This is a collection of short stories curated by Gaiman, and it has some really great authors (shout out to Diana Wynne Jones). Also according to the description, some of the proceeds go to a nonprofit. Because it’s an anthology, readers mentioned there are some hits, but also some misses. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.
