Post your found bargain* books here. 

(I've started this thread a day early since I'm heading out of town and Ann is already gone, hope you don't mind!)

Click here for the April 2010 bargain book thread:
http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,22221.0.html

This thread is for all to post their Bargain book finds, no self-promotion please.

If you have a book of your own to promote, you may start a thread all your own in the Book Bazaar and bump it occasionally (no more than once a week, please) to promote your book, to post news and to talk to your fans!  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!

*'bargain' generally means under $5. . .but, buyer beware:  prices can change without notice so look before you click!

I'm a Maria E. Schneider fan, and I was very glad to see her new book Tracking Magic (Max Killian Investigations) come out a few days ago. No author I'm familiar with combines fantasy and mystery like Maria does. This one is a definite bargain for $1.99.

Hey, maybe it's just a coincidence, but after our griping about several of the Jaine Austen mystery series not being Kindle-ized, and people being reluctant to buy Book 1, it looks like Kensington has Kindle-ized the entire series and made the latest in the series free.

Meanwhile, Book 1, This Pen for Hire is still at the bargain price of $3.83, and now Book 2 is also down to $3.83.

(Now, if Kensington would only Kindle-ize the entire Laurien Berenson series!)

Happy Reading!

Thanks, N!  I literally looked again just yesterday, and #2, 3 and 4 weren't yet added; I was hoping with the brand new #9 freebie that maybe they were going to be added soon.

Just to keep on topic too, many in the rest of the series are under $5 as well:

1. This Pen for Hire (2002) -- $3.83
2. Last Writes (2003) -- $3.83
3. Killer Blonde (2004) -- $4.47
4. Shoes to Die for (2005) -- $4.47
5. The PMS Murder (2006) -- $4.28
6. Death by Panty Hose (2007) -- $5.29 (juuuuuust outside the bargain range but still not bad)
7. Killing Bridezilla (2008) -- $4.47
8. Killer Cruise (2009) -- $4.47 [note, this one is listed twice, one at $6.99 so get the cheaper one! file size is larger on the cheaper one but I'm guessing the content is basically the same....haven't actually looked though]
9. Death of a Trophy Wife (2010) -- FREEEEEEEEE

It is possible that this has been mentioned before, but it is worth repeating I think:

The Lady Julia Grey Bundle

This is 3 books for $9.99. . .that's $3.33 a pop and well worth it. . . I had read the first of the series, "Silent in the Grave" in paper just before I got my Kindle.  Bought the second a year ago, "Silent in the Sanctuary", and just got to it this past week. . . . .and wish I'd read it sooner.  The third is out as well for Kindle for $9.99 all by itself, "Silent on the Moor".  If you like a sort of gothic Victorian murder mystery romance, these'll do it for you.

It's back......



This one has flip-flopped all over the place pricewise this week, but it's back down to $0.01.  It's been getting some stellar reviews, so grab it while you can.

I just bought this after reading a review on a blog for romance readers. (Apparently the author recently put her entire backlist in the Kindle store and all are bargain-priced.) This one is a historical romance based in Canada during the Gold Rush and it is $4.25.
