Bargain Books February 2009

[Suzanne]

Suzi is this a series or can they be read in any order?

Yes, Linda, Binchy's books are stand-alone books. But she is an excellent author. Very well written.

[Jesslyn]

This is a book I really enjoyed and the Kindle version is selling at $2.87.

Thanks for this one!  I have had it on my wish list for a while, but the paperback copy does not indicate that there is a Kindle copy.  Not nice!

Jesslyn,
That's because C.S. Marks only just recently decided to publish a Kindle version. Her books would have to be reprinted to show that.

Or if you mean on her amazon sales page, it takes a while for amazon to connect these things. My Kindle and paperback versions of my novel took about 2 months to connect to each other.

This looks like a good Sci-fi short story collection...


$0.95

13 stories that take you to the edge of what it means to be human:
New Beginnings - You can't repeat the past, even when you have a carbon copy
Survival of the fittest - Does survival of the fittest always mean survival of the species?
Banking on hope - Don't offer to help unless you know EXACTLY what they're asking for
The Hunter and the Hunted - Better ability doesn't make for better people
Double Trouble - What if all your problems really WERE your father's fault?
Breathing Room - A sigh of relief could be your last breath
Church of the Called - Crazy cults may be more than they seem
Cathedral - Even genetically engineered geniuses have their problems
Moment of Humanity - Humanity's children will only survive if they can find something in common
The Ghosts of Tedjai - Ghosts come in all forms, and on all worlds
Denny - Beware the bum
Kyoto+10 - All that work for a burger
Gone in a Flash - Can suicide be a valid life choice?

I haven't read it, but it is on my list for when I get my Kindle!

The (7) Amazon reviews are all positive.

I downloaded this book.  The formatting is off.  After about location 36, there are no indentions or spaces to let you know when a new paragraph begins.  The text is all left-justified with no spaces.  I let Amazon know about it.

Several Georgette Heyer novels have become available since January.  Here's one for only $1.59. 



There's another version costing $4.79, but the one I posted is by Girlebook Classics.

If anyone likes Robyn Carr's books, there is a bundle available with books 1-4 of the Virgin River series for $9.99. I have not read any of her books but they have high reviews at Amazon and in magazines that I've read, plus they sound good to me. At $2.50/book I don't think I can go wrong.

Virgin River books 1-4 (Kindle Edition)

[Kevis 'The Berserker' Hendrickson]

Hi, everyone.

My name is Kevis Hendrickson, author of a fantasy book called The Legend of Witch Bane. The best way I can describe my book is the Lord of the Rings meets Brothers Grimm fairy tales. I wrote my book to address some concerns I had about the growing violence against children. Instead of writing some boring treatise or newpaper article on the subject, I ventured into the realm of fantasy, using my love of mythology and folkore to tell a heroic tale that would appeal to all ages.

Some reviewers have compared my book to The Hobbitt, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Prydain Chronicles. If you would like to learn more about my book before deciding whether or not it's for you, just perform a Google search for The Legend of Witch Bane and you'll have at your disposal several pages containing information about my book including press releases, spotlights, book reviews, and video trailers.

If you are interested in reading my book and would like to download it to your Kindle, then please visit my Amazon Sales page.

For a limited time only, you can download The Legend of Witch Bane to your Kindle for $0.99. Why so cheap? Truth is, I am far more interested in having people read my book than making money right now. So I invite you to take advantage of this limited time offer and enjoy!

Here is the link to my sales page:

[mwvickers]

[Anne]

Thanks Kevis I picked up a copy too.

[Kevis 'The Berserker' Hendrickson]

Thank you, Anne. I really appreciate your support. I hope you enjoy reading Witch Bane.

[Anne]

Thank you, Anne. I really appreciate your support. I hope you enjoy reading Witch Bane.

WoW I just watched the trailer the books sounds good.

[Kevis 'The Berserker' Hendrickson]

Thanks, Anne. I am glad you enjoyed the trailer. I think you'll enjoy the book even more. I'm looking forward to reading your comments in the customer review section on Amazon. I'd love to hear what you think of Witch Bane.

Cheers.

[David J. Guyton]

Kevis,
Congrats and welcome to the site! If I had a Kindle I would certainly download a copy. Paperback will have to do for now!

Everyone,
I wanted to take this opportunity on this final day of Feb to thank all of you who bought my book this month. Your enthusiasm and your support is inspiring and very much appreciated.

To anyone who hasn't bought my book, I have a special promotion for March. Details soon!

[Kevis 'The Berserker' Hendrickson]

Thanks for the welcome, David.

Since I have personally read Mighty Hammer Down and can vouch for it, I encourage everyone to purchase a copy of Dave's book. Mighty Hammer Down is easily one of the most thought-provoking and intelligently written fantasy books I have ever read. The action is intense, the magic blistering, and the characters unforgettable. Everyone who has read Mighty Hammer Down has enjoyed it. At 99 cents what do you have to lose?

Please do yourself a big favor and get a copy of Mighty Hammer Down. I promise you won't regret it.

At 45 cents, is this really such a good deal?

At 45 cents, is this really such a good deal?

Considering I refuse to go to dentists anymore, if this was the real deal, I'd buy it.   

[Jeff]

At 45 cents, is this really such a good deal?

I would say, No. The chapter on self-administering nitrous oxide keeps putting me to sleep.

This book is in the public domain. I got it for Free at manybooks.net

Really?  That surprises me because I thought she was writing up until relatively recently. . . .I just googled and she died in the mid-seventies.  Hmmm.

But you must be having happy dreams!!

You beat me to that, Ann.  The book was written in 1925, which is two years after the magic cutoff of 1923.  Heyer died in 1974, so she hasn't been dead for 50 years.  These copyright laws are very confusing.

I'm always happy to see you, Gertie. 

You're right about the copyright laws being confusing, but if I had to take a wild guess it would be that the book isn't legitimately in the public domain.

[Vampyre]

I heard it was life plus 30 years but I know nothing.

I thought it was life + 75.  Wasn't there a discussion about this sort of thing previously. . . the Spontaneous Derivation person posted it I think. . . . .

The odd thing is, if it is NOT in the PD, that manybooks has it available.  They're usually pretty good about checking that sort of thing.
