Tigers Curse, by Colleen Houck Great read for .99. Anyone who enjoys shapeshifters, mythology, Indian culture, and love stories. The first couple chapters were a little rough but it became extremely engrossing. The second book is also on the Kindle and the 3rd is due to release in May. The second book is listed at 6.99 though. Here's a link because this is like my 4th post and I'm not sure how you guys put the book covers on there! http://www.amazon.com/Tigers-Curse-ebook/dp/B002UKOL6M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1268008783&sr=8-2 |

During ebook week, everyone should check out Smashwords. They are offering, 25% off some novels, 50% off some and a bunch of free books. I went there yesterday and spent some time checking out the Romance genre novels. I ended up picking up 12 books for a total of $12. One nice thing is that they offer a free preview of at least 20-30% of the book's content so you can read quite a bit of it to decide if you like the author's style. I got totally hooked on an Indie Regency Romance author named Cari Hislop and ended up getting all of her books. She had two free novels available and 2 novels and a novella for 50% off, so I ended up spending $6.50 to buy all of her books. The link to their main page is: http://www.smashwords.com/From there you can filter by genre, free books, short (<25K words) or long (>25K words), and then by discount code. The site was running really slow earlier this week, but apparently they've upgraded their server and it was much better yesterday. |

I read these two awhile back and enjoyed them - some romance, a little mystery, and a heroine who can see and speak to ghosts. They're kind of urban fantasy, except they are not set in a gritty urban environment. |

A spoof on the mystery genre, a children's/YA book out by The Friday Project (UK press): Third Pig Detective Agency http://www.amazon.com/Third-Pig-Detective-Agency-ebook/dp/B002RI9PEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A7B2F8DUJ88VZ&s=digital-text&qid=1269174784&sr=1-1On sale or special for $1.03 for Kindle! Harry Pigg, the only surviving brother from the Big Bad Wolf attacks, has set up business as a private detective in Grimmtown, only things aren't going too well. Down on his luck, with bills to pay and no clients in sight the outlook is poor. But then in walks local businessman Aladdin who needs someone to help him track down an old lamp.What follows is a case of nursery rhyme-noir. Funny, thrilling and always entertaining, Harry Pigg is an old breed of hero for a new generation. It's as if Humphrey Bogart or James Cagney had walked into the middle of a bedtime story.A comedy caper for all ages. The first in a major new series. |

Just finished a great, scary book by Scott Nicholson- "The Red Church" only $1.99! Now I'm reading "The Skull Ring" by the same author. If you like Stephen King or Dean Koontz you should check out Nicholson. And the prices can't be beat!     The novel-length ones are $1.99 (except one) and the shorter ones are $0.99. Only "They Hunger" is a bit above the bargain book price at $5.59, but that looks like a good read too! The Red Church- $1.99 The Skull Ring- $1.99 Burial To Follow (novella)- $0.99 Flowers (short stories)- $0.99 Ashes (short stories)- $0.99 The First (short stories)- $0.99 They Hunger- $5.59 (a little over $5) See all Nicholson's Kindle books here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?_encoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=digital-text&field-author=Scott%20Nicholson There are a few other books by Nicholson that aren't available for Kindle yet, but these seem to be harder to find. |
