RECOMMEDED: Heir by Sabaa Tahir is $1.99! We ran a guest review by Crystal Anne and she gave it an A:
This book is excellent, which is not a surprise, given that Tahir is an excellent writer. It would have been more surprising if it wasn’t.
But the more important thing to me is that this book was the right book at the right time, and it was there when I needed it to be. I dearly hope it could be that for others, because I know that right now, a lot of us need that, and we’re going to need it for a long time to come.

You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson is $2.99! Readers say this memoir is hilarious and I believe it, as someone who listens to Robinson’s podcast, 2 Dope Queens. However, others say the book has a great first half, but the essays decline in interest after that. Have you read this one?

RECOMMENDED: Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, so get it while you can! Sarah read this book a couple months ago and gave it a B grade:
Overall, I think this book contains a fabulous world with a terrific, galloping adventure through a vivid and wrenching underworld. While I was reading it, I had a hard time putting it down. But the story has most of its strength in the plot and the world-building than in the characters and their emotional development and consistency, and I missed those aspects even while I enjoyed the rest.
