YA LGBTQ Sales/Discounts > Likes and Comments

I couldn't see what we'd got a thread for sales and discounts in the group and I was looking for somewhere to post that Harmony Ink Press has a 25% off sale for all their titles (including pre-orders) for this weekend in honour of YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) who have been holding a conference with a lot of focus on the need for diverse YA books

the Harmony Ink Store can be found Here

(please note, the Harmony Ink Site is part of the Dreamspinner Site, which also has adult content)

Thanks - we had one once... Might as well start fresh though.

Good morning =) I hope everyone in the US had a happy Thanksgiving, and that everyone else had a fantastic weekend.

Just wanted to let you know that the first 2 books in my YA Urban Fantasy series are on sale for 99 cents for Cyber Monday.

While the narrator is straight, two of the prominent main characters are a gay couple. One of them was nominated for Best Paranormal Hero at the 2013 UtopYA awards.

Here's a link to the first one on Amazon, and a link to the GR page. It's also on sale for 0.77 pounds on Amazon UK. Happy reading!

All Romance ebooks is also having a Cyber-Monday sale. 50% rebate (not discount, but a credit of 50% towards more books.) December 1 only.

Note that many books on this site are adult erotica/erotic romance, but they have many YA/NA romance titles including many Harmony Ink books (107 YA titles) and other small press titles like "Vivaldi in the Dark",

The same 50% rebate applies in their "Omni-Lit" division which carries more mainstream YA including books by authors like Brent Hartinger, or Julie Anne Peters

As part of Torquere Press' 12 days of Christmas give away

The Second Mango by Shira Glassman is free for 24 hours (It's actually published by Prizm Books which is their YA imprint.)

Queen Shulamit never expected to inherit the throne of the tropical land of Perach so young. At twenty, grief-stricken and fatherless, she's also coping with being the only lesbian she knows after her sweetheart ran off for an unknown reason. Not to mention, she's the victim of severe digestive problems that everybody think she's faking. When she meets Rivka, an athletic and assertive warrior from the north who wears a mask and pretends to be a man, she finds the source of strength she needs so desperately.

Unfortunately for her, Rivka is straight, but that's okay -- Shulamit needs a surrogate big sister just as much as she needs a girlfriend. Especially if the warrior's willing to take her around the kingdom on the back of her dragon in search of other women who might be open to same-sex romance. The real world outside the palace is full of adventure, however, and the search for a royal girlfriend quickly turns into a rescue mission when they discover a temple full of women turned to stone by an evil sorcerer.

Same sale is happening on AllRomance Ebooks too!

http://www.allromanceebooks.com/store...

Allromanceebooks.com is having a 50% off deal today (1-1-2015 only). They have done this before, but for those not familiar, you get ebucks back rather than the actual discount in cash off. BUT, if you play it right you buy a few and get a few free.

You're Always in the Last Place You Look is included in the sale (#2 in sales right now!). It is all books with a crown (best seller ranking at some point) on the listing. There are pages and pages of YA and NA titles.

Tidied up a bit - as Tara says, much good YA on All Romance as well (A.J.'s post above has the link) Just be aware that much of what All Romance carries is erotic 18+ romance.

You can search specifically for YA titles and the ones listed are YA. But yes, you have to hit the YA link.

Free on Amazon right now - Grand & Humble by Brent Hartinger - thriller/mystery type YA although this does not have the LGBTQ content of most of Hartinger's books if I remember correctly - https://www.amazon.com/Grand-Humble-B...

That is correct, Kaje. You sort of get the impression that Manny is gay, but it is never stated outright.

Thanks, looks good!

Awesome, thanks Kaje!

Harmony Ink's Parent company, Dreamspinner Press, is having a 30% off sale this weekend, which includes nearly all of Harmony Ink's teen titles. You have to buy from the Dreamspinner site, not the Harmony Ink site; but I can't link it here since the publisher also has adult titles.

Suki Fleet's This is Not a Love Story is currently half price at $2.99 on Amazon US. https://www.amazon.com/This-Love-Stor...

(A very dark and angsty beginning to this YA - the reviews are mixed high stars, and DNF's - couldn't take the pain. I'm still paused on it, but friends loved it.)
