Hey, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I joined the office softball league and our first game was up against a team who takes the game way too seriously, especially playing up against a group of people with a team where 80% of us have never played softball before. Oh well, we still had a fun time amongst our group! My partner was also recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and we just find this great pizza place that offers gluten-free pizza and it was damn good. If any of you have any go-to GF recipes or treats, let me know! … Lace sent in this link from LitHub, where the newly unvei ..read more

A Most Unusual Duke RECOMMENDED: A Most Unusual Duke by Susanna Allen is $1.99! This is the second book in a series and it earned a Squee grade from Catherine: You know how sometimes you pick up a book because it looks like fun, and then it turns out to be clever and funny and tender and tropey and still somehow unique, and you read it all in one sitting and hop straight onto the Kobo site after midnight to order the previous book in the series? Bridgerton meets Werewolves Within in this sparkling shapeshifter Regency romance mixed with humor, steamy chemistry, and fantasy ..read more

A In Which Winnie Halifax is Utterly Ruined by Alexandra Vasti February 6, 2024 · St. Martin's Griffin Historical: European I don’t recall exactly how this trilogy came to my attention. Strangely, it may have been their long titles, which may have signaled to me an Austen-esque voice, one that at the same time did not take itself too seriously. In any case, I was very happy I picked up the first novella, In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation, and from then on I waited impatiently for weeks and weeks before the second and the third novellas became available through my library ..read more

Do You Want to Start a Scandal RECOMMENDED: Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is part of the Castles Ever After series, but can be read on its own. Elyse loved this book: I loved Do You Want to Start a Scandal. It’s funny, it’s sexy and it’s got some Clue-like shenanigans going on. If you have better self control than I do, I recommend savoring this book rather than powering through in one sitting (good luck). On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or ..read more

This HaBO request is from Jay, who wants to find this romance (and yes, it does sound similar to last week’s but there’s no relation): I’ve been trying to figure out the name of this book for years, so I may be misremembering things at this point, but you guys are my last hope! The main thing I remember is that the heroine and hero (and possibly a villain) are stuck in a cycle of not ending up together, she dies, and then they get reborn. She doesn’t remember any of this, but I think he does. The book starts with a girl in a castle/keep and the hero is a warrior/warlord that arrives and I thin ..read more

Portrait of a Thief 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. Ocean’s Eleven meets The Farewell in Portrait of a Thief, a lush, lyrical heist novel inspired by the true story of Chinese art vanishing from Western museums; about diaspora, the colonization of art, and the complexity of the Chinese American identity. History is told by the ..read more

Killers of a Certain Age 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. Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that’s their secret weapon. They’ve spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they’re sixty years old, four women friends can’t just retire – it’s kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated autho ..read more

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 reviews, and the ads & features do not disappoint. Don’t miss the visual aids. Seriously. There’s crooning. Thank you to Mari the Romance Girl for this iss ..read more
