The Midsummer Bride by Kati Wilde is $1.99! This is part of the Dead Lands series, which has been recommended before on the site. It also looks like seven books in the series are available for roughly $17, though some of these installments are novellas. Can you jump in anywhere, or should you start with book one?
Sparrow Hill Road was a 4 1/2 star Top Pick in the May 2014 RT Book Reviews magazine that Amanda and I recapped, and I was curious, in part because I didn’t recognize it. I know McGuire’s other series (Adam really likes the October Daye books) but this one had escaped my knowledge. I found the audiobook, narrated by Amy Landon, at my library, and I inhaled it. I got so much done because I … Continue reading Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire
I’m honestly not sure what having all the images from the episode in the podcast entry would do to the feeds it serves, so I’ll be doing a separate entry with all the visual aids and linking it. You can also find all the RTRW content at our category page for Romantic Times Rewind. And, most importantly, if you want to listen and follow along with this entry, we have more detail in the audio, … Continue reading Romantic Times Rewind: May 2014 Review Images
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I hope you all are doing well. Over the weekend, my partner and I visited a giant anime store and a disappointing aquarium. You win some; you lose some. We also suspect that our new upholstered headboard from Wayfair came to use with a few…friends already hitching a ride. So we’re dealing with that whole situation – wrapping our mattress in a plastic cover, steam cleaning everything, tossing furniture, etc. … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Colleen Hoover, & More
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is $3.99! I love this series. The writing is so beautiful and I would happily send 300+ pages in the world McGuire has created. However, I will warn that these books have a haunting sadness to them or can be downright horrific.
RECOMMENDED: The Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. Carrie reviewed this and gave it B+:
The more grounded in history the novel was, the more I liked it. For instance, I enjoyed seeing how Marianne trained every day. However, people with more patience for plot than I will love the same increasing complications that just made me want to take a nap. There’s something here for everyone and I look forward to the next book, The Dueling Duchess.
Meddling and Murder by Ovidia Yu is 99c! This his a cozy mystery, though I’m unsure which installment this one is in the Aunty Lee Mystery series. Some places say it’s #1 in one series, while others say it’s #4 in another. I know Sarah has really enjoyed Yu’s Crown Colony series.
(Trust) Falling for You by Charish Reid is $2.99! Catherine recently reviewed it and gave it a B:
The best romances, to my mind, are those in which two people help each other to become better and happier versions of themselves, and (Trust) Falling For You has this in spades. Really, my only complaint is that I wanted more of it – more story, more opportunities to see the characters together, more of everything. Which is a pretty nice complaint to have.
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire is $1.99 and a KDD! This is the first book in the October Daye urban fantasy series. Many readers loved the heroine and the setting McGuire created, while some expressed confusion at certain aspects of the world-building. Have you read this one?
