RECOMMENDED: Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. Elyse & I really enjoyed this horror/sci-fi novel. We jointly reviewed the book and ultimately decided on a B. We loved the cast of characters, but found the ending anticlimactic.
RECOMMENDED: His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik is $2.99! Carrie mentioned she started reading this in a previous Whatcha Reading and there were many comments about how great this book is. We also have an early review of this book by Candy, who says it’s “utterly goddamn awesome.”
RECOMMENDED: The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick is $1.99! This is a price-matched Kindle Daily Deal and the rest of today’s deals are also pretty good. (Veronica Roth’s Carve the Mark is only $4.99!) Sarah enjoyed the emotional journey of this book and gave it a B in a Lightning Review:
In the end, his realization that his life mattered, that he was loved, and that he had more to give the world before he died, too, was terribly poignant and made me sniffle for quite awhile after I closed the book.
This week’s Lightning Reviews is lighter than normal on romance. Instead, we have a short romance comic with some very sweet art, contemporary fiction with an adventurous and curious old gentleman, and women’s fiction with a woman who runs a postcard shop in Paris!
