It’s the second Wednesday in April and so it’s Kindle Offer day! Yay! Hide your wallets – mine took a bit of a hit while I wrote this I have to admit, despite my best efforts to the contrary.
Lets start with the new (or new-ish) releases that are on offer: there’s Rachel Joyce book that I mentioned in my post about Quinns, The Homemade God, which is 99p this month. I bought that, but I also bought the new Kate Quinn book The Astral Library which is a time travel novel with a hidden library and traveling inside books and which I’ve heard so much about since it came out in February.
On the mystery front, there’s the Andrew Taylor A Schooling in Murder, the Rivers of London novella The October Man, The Pie and Mash Detective Agency that I mentioned in Quick Reviews last week, the fourth Shardlake book Revelation, Detective Aunty by Uzma Jalaluddin is 99p and in Kindle Unlimited.
On the romance front there are a couple of former BotW’s on offer in Emily Henry‘s Happy Place, Kristina Forest‘s The Neighbor Favor, recent pick The Future Saints, the second Emmy Lake Yours Cheerfully which isn’t entirely a romance but still fits best in this section and The Rosie Effect which was a featured review back in the day rather than a BotW. There’s also Annabel Monaghan’s It’s A Love Story, Kirsty Greenwood’s Love of my Afterlife, Trisha Ashley‘s Leap of Faith, Crazy Rich Asians and To Sir Philip, With Love aka Eloise’s story is on offer.
The latest series of Bridgerton is a Cinderella retelling which neatly takes me to Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser which is 99p and moves me neatly into other fiction! Also on offer is Vianne by Joanne Harris aka the latest Chocolat novel, the thirteenth 44 Scotland Street book by Alexander McCall Smith The Peppermint Tea Chronicles, The second Cazalet Chronicle Marking Time is also on offer as is
In classic fiction there’s Nancy Mitford‘s The Pursuit of Love, Daphne Du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel, one of my teenage favourites A Town Like Alice (once she gets out of the prisoner of war march at least!) and Graham Greene’s The Quiet American. The Terry Pratchett offer this month is Only You Can Save Mankind, the first book in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy for middle grade readers. The Georgette Heyer is The Corinthian which is one of her girls-dressed-up-as-boys plots, and the Poirot is A Death in the Clouds.
In other stuff I bought while writing this: Brigands and Breadknives the third Legends and Lattes, the fourth Before the Coffee Gets Cold book Before We say Goodbye, 10 Marchfield Square which has finally gone on offer presmably because the sequel came out a couple of weeks ago. And if that’s not enough for you I don’t know what is!
Happy Humpday!
