Post your found bargain* books here. Click here for the December 2009 bargain book thread.This thread is for all to post their Bargain book finds, no self-promotion please.

Of course, you may also list the book in your Avatar and signature. Thanks! We generally try to keep this thread on topic with book posts only, off-topic posts will be "pruned"! This helps people who check the thread whenever they see the "new post" indicator. Thanks for your cooperation! Tip: typing the title of the book in the post as well as adding the image will help people searching for the book! Betsy & Ann Book Bazaar Moderators *'bargain' generally means under $5. . .but, buyer beware: prices can change without notice so look before you click! |

I have to agree w/Red - Radium Halos was wonderful and haunting. I just finished this morning and couldn't stop talking about it at brunch. But this post is to also remind folks of Robert Kroese's funny and irreverent Mercury Falls. He said he was going to change the price come the first of the year from 99 cents, but even if he raises it to the $1.99 it was when I bought it, it's qualified for this thread and worth every penny (and more!)   |

In the December thread, there were 10-12 romance novels for only $2.90. Those books continue at that price today. Here's one for $2.91 by Rachel Lee. The reviews are mixed.   |

"Who Lives?" by Christopher Meeks. I knew he was a superb writer of short stories and novels, but he's quite a playwright too. The play is an emotional roller coaster ride as a committee meets in 1963 to decide which patients with chronic kidney disease will be placed on one of the new dialysis machines. $1.99 and well worth it.   I'm reading "Radium Halos" now, and Red Adept was spot-on with her review. It's very good. |

  Subtitled "Temper Tantrums, F Words, and the Pursuit of Perfection"! What could possibly be better for only $3.25? Yeah, that one has been that price since November. Decent autobio. It's also known as Humble Pie in the UK (guess they had to spice up the title for American audiences) |

I read that on my first Kindle.. it is a hoot to use text to speech and hear the robot reading the slang and swearwords and also all the French terms he uses in the book. I also enjoyed the book. And I'm sure I paid more than this.

Buyer beware! The formatting, in sample, for this book does not have paragraph indentations, which make reading difficult. Too bad, I probably would have gotten this one otherwise--along with a few other Rosetta books.

The title is "Marked," and my daughter LOVES this series. She's not exactly young-adult at 27 years old and has read all of the books so far. I have this book for my Kindle but it hasn't reached the top of my TBR list yet.  |

Interesting--I hadn't even noticed that! I went and checked my copy, and you're correct. If that's critical, then I'd agree a potential reader shouldn't buy the book. Another example of why getting a sample first is good policy! |

(I couldn't get a Kindle link.) You have to click on the link to the manual link maker to make links to Kindle books. i don't know why and it is a little confusing about what to do with the link once you have made it but it does work. traci |
