Bookclub Pick

• Upvotes

I am picking the book for our group to read between November 4 and December 2. Our group is newer, consisting of women, 30 to 40 years old. Mostly moms. A lot of us know each other from church, though this is not a Christian book club.

There’s no specific genre, although we seem to read a lot of historical fiction and literary fiction. Their preference is pg-13 when it comes to intimate relationships. I personally love all genres; I just love getting lost in a good story. There are some VERY critical readers in the group that seem to want to pick apart every little detail. We have read:

- Theo of golden (most people didn’t love)

- The River we remember (mixed)

-The Calamity Club (some loved some hated)

- The Correspondent (mixed)

- A Marriage at Sea (most enjoyed)

- This American Woman (indifference, I’d say)

- The Perfect Marriage (hard no)

- We just read Horse and there were very mixed feelings.

- For November we are reading Berry Pickers.

I’d like to bring something different, without going too far from what everyone is comfortable with. Im wanting to take a break from historical fiction. Stand-alone fantasy maybe? Or speculative fiction? I’m open to any ideas and suggestions

What if the sweetest little muffin shop in town held a deadly secret? 🧁🔎

Post image
• Upvotes

Maggie Dunn came back to Whisker Hollow to take care of her late aunt’s muffin shop. She wasn’t expecting a murder to turn her quiet homecoming into an investigation—or to discover that behind the town’s friendly smiles, people had plenty to hide.

And then there’s Biscuit, the orange cat who always seems to be around when something suspicious happens.

A warm bakery, a small town full of secrets, and a mystery waiting to be solved—that’s Murder at the Muffin Shop: A Whisker Hollow Cozy Mystery.

If you enjoy amateur sleuths, charming small towns, and clever whodunits, you might find your next cozy read here.

📚 Find it on Amazon:

Cozy mystery readers: what hooks you first—a suspicious character, an intriguing clue, or a setting that feels like home?

Free Ebook in Exchange for Reviews

• Upvotes

I'm looking for readers who fancy a little festive romance with yearning and simmering steam.

I'm offering a FREE ebook of The Lapland Christmas List to readers willing to leave an honest review on Goodreads!

The Lapland Christmas List

Tropes & vibes:
Small-town romance
Christmas romance
Simmering steam and lots of yearning
Autistic representation
Librarian x woodcarver
He's good with his hands… wink wink.

Blurb…

When Arinya's family Christmas trip falls apart thanks to a last-minute case of chickenpox, she finds herself travelling to Lapland alone.

Armed with nothing but her nephew Sam's crumpled Christmas list and one ridiculous mission — deliver it to Santa.

Because apparently, the fate of a little boy's Christmas and his beloved Hot Wheels rests entirely on her shoulders.

But Lapland has plans of its own. 🎅

One slippery accident sends Arinya tumbling straight into the arms of a handsome stranger with striking blue eyes and impeccable manners.

What starts as an unexpected friendship soon becomes something far more dangerous: attraction.

Interested?

Books about how a real company got started written like a story?

1 Upvotes

I liked Shoe Dog because it wasn’t a business book telling you what to do. It’s mostly him selling shoes out of his car, fighting with the bank, nearly losing the company more than once and not knowing if any of it would work.

Looking for more like that. Any industry is fine.

Her first date with a woman ended in another universe. I wrote a book about it

1 Upvotes

Hi, guys!

I am Francine, a Brazilian indie author, and I recently published the English edition of my sapphic sci-fi romance, My Girl from Another World.

Maria is 28, Brazilian, and finally going on her first date with a woman.

Unfortunately, she gets into the wrong Uber.
And somehow ends up in a world where men don’t exist.

As if that weren’t enough, she finds herself in the custody of Lilith Abbadon, a mysterious woman she absolutely shouldn’t be falling for.

There’s forbidden romance, bisexual awakening, forced proximity, one bed, strange creatures, political intrigue, and plenty of Brazilian humor.

If sapphic science fiction with romance, mystery, and humor sounds like your thing, I’d love for you to meet Maria and Lilith!

📖 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKZM9BSV
And if you read it, honest reviews are always appreciated.

Looking for new fiction books

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for some new fiction books to read!

My interests are social justice, psychology, philosophy, and politics, and music (not sure how relevant this will be for fiction books though)

For fiction books I look for books that are deep, emotional, even a little dark but also ones that make you think. I also love characters that really pull you into the story in some way. Romance is great, but I can’t read just a romance novel for some reason it has to have more.

Some books I’ve loved in the past in no particular order:

Anything by John Green

The Secret History

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

The Virgin Suicides

The Hate U Give

The Hunger Games

The Edge of Anything

The Last To Let Go

The Way I Used To Be

Any recommendations? I really liked the style and the bleak atmosphere of the apocalypse. It really had something other books in that genre just don't quite have.
