Post your found bargain* books here.

Click here for the May 2010 bargain book thread:
http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,23886.msg446054.html#msg446054

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 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!

Both are $3.99 -- the second book in the series is not a bargain, it's $6.99, which makes no sense to me...

$4.95

Loved this book as a podcast when I first heard it. Its a gentle, mellow coming of age story set in a merchant ship in the future. No space battles or military which is quite a change of pace for me, but it was surprisingly fun to read.

Full disclosure - it's $1.99 on Amazon.  You can get it free here in his experiment testing whether free downloads cannibalize sales:  
http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2010/05/steal-this-ebook.html

I ended up buying it - I've got all the Jack Daniels series on my Kindle (LOVE them!), so figured this belongs there too (especially since both my girls will read them on their Kindles too).  You can also pre-order the newest Jack Daniels that comes out in October for just $2.99 and DRM-free!


As you scroll down on his blog, on the right you'll see links to where you can download some of his early books free.  

Not only does he write terrific books, he's a huge proponent of e-books.

On Killing:  The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman   $4.05

Nothing like a specialized book!  I am skipping this one, but it may be a great prize to someone.

Is there an order I should read his books, or can I start anywhere?

If you're going to read the Jack Daniels series, they're best read in order - things happen that have consequences/implications, etc in the following books.  The first one is Whiskey Sour.
Jack Daniels
1. Whiskey Sour (2004)
2. Bloody Mary (2005)
3. Rusty Nail (2006)
4. Dirty Martini (2007)
5. Fuzzy Navel (2008)
6. Cherry Bomb (2009)
7. Shaken (2011)

Obese From The Heart: A Fat Psychiatrist Discloses (Kindle Edition)
by Sara L. Stein
$1.98

I paid full price for this back in November. Well worth it.
Note: She doesn't have any answers, it's not a diet book! It's more about the emotional side of things. Very interesting.



(and no, I don't know her or any of her friends or anything, just saw it was on sale when I went to write my review and thought I'd post it)

Very Cool stuff! Just found the second Luthiel's Song book for .99 cents on Kindle (for some reason, the linkmaker only links the main book page).



Here's the first one also available for .99 cents on Kindle (linkmaker still not running the kindle page, but it's there):



Absolutely loved both of the books and highly recommend them for any reader.

PS Here are the direct urls to the kindle pages:

I really enjoyed The Restaurant by George Becker.

It's a marvelous nostagic trip down memory lane to the author's childhood in the Bronx in the 1940s. It's only $0.99 for the Kindle. It's a nice short read, only about two hours for me.
