Recently I devoured a book, and when I mentioned it, Shana squeed right back at me. So, enjoy our absolute squee-party about this book! Sarah: Shana, I just tore through Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade. Devoured the whole book in less than a day. Oh my gosh, there is so much to love about this book. The Pining. Top-shelf pine forest full of pining. For six years they live on that island for months and … Continue reading Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher is $1.99! I’ve enjoyed Kingfisher’s first horror novel, The Twisted Ones. If you want something spooky but is light on graphic or sexual violence, it’s worth a try. I haven’t checked out this one just yet, though it is on my radar.

Hey all! It’s Wednesday! Can you believe it?! I’m ready for the week to be over, truly. Anyone else feel the same? I saw Nope with a friend of mine last week. I still think Get Out is my favorite Peele horror film, but this was pretty close to beating it. My partner said the first half was definitely a horror movie, while the second half felt more action/adventure. I’d definitely agree with that assessment. Did anyone else … Continue reading Links: Olivia Dade, YouTube Rabbit Holes, & More
40-Love is part of the Marysburg series by Olivia Dade. Shana and I both enjoyed this romance between a tennis player in his twenties and a forty-year-old high school assistant principal on vacation. The book glories in having a fat heroine and addresses issues including chronic pain, the challenge of reinventing oneself, inequities in the American school system, and navigating romance across an age gap. Despite all these topics, however, the book remains light and … Continue reading 40-Love by Olivia Dade
All the Feels by Olivia Dade is $2.99! This came out last November and one of my dear friends (Hi Tildy!!) and bookstore manager absolutely loved this one. I haven’t read this one, but have enjoyed Dade’s other contemporary romances.
RECOMMENDED: Act Like It by Lucy Parker is $1.99! If you haven’t read this yet, it was one of Sarah’s favorite reads in the past couple years. She says, “I mean, I could squee at you some MORE beyond my review but I think you’ve heard me already. I loved this book. You should read it. It’s delightful.” This one is part of today’s pages of romance deals.
