Hello Readers,
There are so many fantastic books for just 99p this month
that it was tough to choose which ones to share. This month is a little different
as I have two sets of recommendations this month part one will be books, I have
already reviewed and part two books I am adding to my TBR.
This post is not sponsored; I am just sharing a selection
of books I love that are currently on offer. I am going to share the blurb of
each book, the number of pages, the amazon link and a link to my review.
The Radleys by Matt Haig
FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . . Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50. With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are
famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street,
Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee
houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses
and escaped people-traffickers.
What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888.
Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women.
In this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally gives these women back their stories.

Young Fleetwood Shuttleworth, a noblewoman, is with child
again. None of her previous pregnancies have borne fruit, and her husband,
Richard, is anxious for an heir. Then Fleetwood discovers a hidden doctor’s
letter that carries a dire prediction: she will not survive another birth. By
chance she meets a midwife named Alice Grey, who promises to help her deliver a
healthy baby. But Alice soon stands accused of witchcraft.
Is there more to Alice than meets the eye? Fleetwood must risk everything to prove her innocence. As the two women’s lives become intertwined, the Witch Trials of 1612 loom. Time is running out; both their lives are at stake. Only they know the truth. Only they can save each other.
Rich and compelling, set against the frenzy of the real Pendle Hill Witch
Trials, this novel explores the rights of 17th-century women and raises the
question: Was witch-hunting really women-hunting? Fleetwood Shuttleworth, Alice
Grey and the other characters are actual historical figures. King James I was
obsessed with asserting power over the lawless countryside (even woodland
creatures, or “familiars,” were suspected of dark magic) by capturing
“witches”—in reality mostly poor and illiterate women.
Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar - and maybe snag him as a prom date - even befriend Wes Bennet.
The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime candidate for romantic-comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine everything she thought she knew about love - and rethink her own ideas of what happily ever after should look like.
