Books on Sale: All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens & More

RECOMMENDED: All Superheroes Need PR  by Elizabeth Stephens is $1.99! We ran a positive guest review of this one:

All in all, this book was a fun romp. There were some truly wild moments of alien biology I won’t spoil, but they were more amusing than horrific. Roland and Vanessa’s tension and chemistry was truly delicious. Their physical relationship was a bit of a slow burn but well worth the wait.

Cover Snark: Brooch Toots

Queens and Monsters by India Amare. A shirtless, headless man is wearing only a red cloth wrapped around his waist. A full moon hangs in the sky. He has a very strong grip on a hilt, like vein poppingly strong. A dragon shaped brooch or emblem is suspending in the air behind his butt.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! Sarah: Pam G has sent us two! PamG: Oh baby, looks like a mystery skin condition in an Elvis wig to me. All I can see is grandma’s animal print spandex. Also, those eyes! We used to get that a lot when photographing the doggos. And, and WHY are their nether regions fading into an alien cityscape. Elyse: Sir, you’re gonna need an ointment for that. Sarah: So the guy … Continue reading Cover Snark: Brooch Toots

Cozy winter still life: cup of hot coffee and book with warm plaid on windowsill against snow landscape from outside.

This year is coming to a close! Here’s what we’re reading during the last week of December: Lara: I’m catching up with Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series. I’m currently reading Archangel’s Lineage. I’m desperately sad that this series will be coming to an end in May. It’s been a stalwart comfort for years.
