Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li is $4.99! As I was putting today’s sale list together with a focus on mysteries, I realized all of these have been mention in my Get Rec’d posts. However, I’d describe this one as more fiction with some heisty, Ocean’s Eleven undertones.
Within the first paragraph of reading this I knew I wanted to review it. When the writing itself is just so good, you have to share it. About a chapter in, I actually stopped and restarted the book because I was reading it too quickly and I wanted to savour it. The book didn’t quite live up to the promise of those first few pages, but I still devoured it in one sitting. The book … Continue reading The Shabti by Megaera C. Lorenz

RECOMMENDED: Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Rayborn is $1.99! I don’t think this one has been on sale on the site before and we don’t have a review, but Sarah did some squeeing on a podcast episode.
Amanda and I are traveling back in time to May 1994 and taking a look at the ads and features inside Romantic Times Magazine – oh, it’s a time. We have questions – and answers! Are Eric Braeden and Victor Newman the same guy? Is Kathryn Falk writing celebrity gossip and outing people? Are there Lorena Bobbit jokes? Were Glamour Shots™ very well represented among author headshots? We had a great time looking at the … Continue reading 615. RT Rewind: May 1994 Ads & Features

Happy Place by Emily Henry is $4.99! Henry’s books don’t go on super sale very often so this may be the best price we’re getting in terms of a discount! Do you have a favorite Henry romance?
This Rec League is from Christy! I’ve been in a reading slump of several “enemies to lovers” and I have DNF’ed the past 4 books in a row. I have found this trope can be weighed down by too much bickering, immaturity (especially in a professional context!), conflict that could be resolved with a conversation, or a main character lying or omitting the truth. I find all of these to be tedious, and I jump … Continue reading The Rec League: Rivals to Lovers
To Cage a God is a fantasy novel with romantic elements that I think will work well for a lot of readers. It’s got similar vibes to the Grisha/ Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, has a sapphic romance, has a morality chain romance, and has disability rep. All of that is topped off by a unique magic system and some really fun world-building. The world in To Cage a God is reminiscent of … Continue reading To Cage a God by Elizabeth May
