Book Riot is teaming up with BookClubbish to giveaway one puzzle prize pack for book lovers! The prize pack will include three bookish puzzles to enjoy while dreaming of your next read!
It’s a Thursday in October. That’s something right? Some of us might be counting down the days to Halloween, while others are just taking advantage of the access to all that fun sized candy. Okay, those people are also counting down the days to Halloween…specifically the days after Halloween.
Now that I’ve exposed myself (snort), let’s talk books.
Over on Book Riot
How many of these fantasy romances have you read? I’ve got more books to pile up and pretend to read!
I haven’t watched Indian Matchmaker (and I’ve read a few things about the casteism involved in the show and am not sure I want to) but this is still an interesting set of recommendations!
Have you been keeping a reading journal?
Bookish costumes by sign. I’ll bite. (Funnily enough, the one that matches mine was also my high school mascot :D)
Deals
Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher
Speaking of fantasy romance: I’ve been hearing T. Kingfisher’s name a lot recently, and this book sounds as good as any place to start. This one is a fantasy romance featuring a paladin who wants to be useful and the fugitive he goes on the run with. There’s magic, there’s worldbuilding, and there are apparently a lot of pages. And if you like this one and want more, Clockwork Boys and Swordheart are both currently 1.99 as well.
New Books
There are a bunch of books out today in the romance sphere—a couple are more like books in their genre with romantic elements, but might be worth checking out anyway.
So many books.
