Amazon Prime Week has turned into sales-everywhere-week. Pretty sure Black Friday week has already been thrown out there too...? Lol. Everyone jumps on board to grab our dollars and who am I to pass up a deal? Ya'll know I can never buy or accumulate too many unread books so I will obviously be participating. To fill you in on the deets-- both Amazon and Target are doing buy one, get one 50% off on a ton of select books. If you have a Target red card, you can also snag your extra 5% off + earn cash back with Rakuten. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, I’ll share my link for a free 30-day trial here. You can try it out, get the deals & cancel at anytime!
PS-- if you've been living under a rock and haven't joined Rakuten, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I use it every time I shop online + have saved so much over the years. I'm not sponsored (I wish!) but I do have an affiliate link that will get us both an extra $30 if you want to sign up + make a purchase of $30 or more. I always use it for Target, Nordstrom, Walgreen's, etc., but they have tons of stores. If you online shop + don't use it, you are leaving money behind. Stop it!!
Back to the books- here are my top picks so far. I'm finally nabbing Where the Crawdads Sing because I fully plan to read it and go see the new movie coming out. It's been on my list for years and I've always just pushed off buying it. ZERO CLUE on what it's actually about but I saw a teaser for the movie and remember it definitely had a drama/creepy/small town secrets thriller vibe? Not entirely sure but it's raved about. Also on the creepy vibes list is The Silent Patient. I haven't read any thrillers in a long while but this one sounds so interesting. I read the synopsis and immediately added to my cart.
Obvi I had to add in some light fluff to counteract the creep so fun summer romances to the rescue. I recently finished It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey which I loved. Such a great steamy read if you're looking for an easy romance book. I loved it so much that I'm grabbing the companion sequel Hook, Line and Sinker. Normally I don't bother with follow-up books. I love a sequel with the same characters but the follow-ups usually don't excite me. I think the secondary characters are never as interesting as the mains in the first books so I'm never excited to read them as main characters? In It Happened One Summer, I loved it enough and the other characters that I think Hook, Line and Sinker will be really cute. I've enjoyed all of the books I've read by Tessa Bailey but I'll keep you posted.
Also very excited for Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. I haven't read anything by her before but this one sounds like a perfect beach read.
