Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
by Susannah Cahalan
Woohoo! I found one. I just purchased Gone With a Handsomer Man for $2.99 on Kindle and $2.99 on Audible whispersync. That's $6.00 for the book in two different formats. One down... three to go towards my $10 coupon.

I promise to keep buying and posting those "buys".
Bet you can't buy just one. lol
It counted towards my required 4 books. I now have 3 books to get. I recently bought The Hangman's Daughter and sequels on Kindle for $.99 each. I can get the audiobooks on Audible for $1.99 each, but the regular price is under $14.00 so they won't count towards the sale.
These are ones in my cart right now and 3 of the 4 qualify and were comboRiver Town: Two Years on the Yangtze
Ghost Train to the Eastern Star
Chasing Rainbows
Desert Solitaire
I added these and got the deal for the month Tobacco Road
Redfield Farm: A Novel of the Underground Railroad
A Test Of Wills
Fifth Avenue
The Most Dangerous Game
I think this one was scandalous in it's time.
Shorts
The 7th Month
Guns
Great haul, Shirley!I don't think I mentioned in this group that I picked up Riders of the Purple Sage in Kindle/Audible whispersync for $.99 and had it count towards on of the 4 purchases. Great deal!
Blummin 'eck Kimberly, that's a lot of books and free too!Can I ask is reviewing your job? As I have no idea how you would fit all the books you do read in with working too.
WOW great selection of books.I transferred a lot of my kindle books to the fire recently and couldn't believe the number in the library.....over 9700 and so many were free books.
Sure like cookbooks on the fire.

I thought West with the Night was wonderful. I hope you like it. She did what he did, but the othr way.

I think it is an acquired ability. I am getting pretty good at "listening" instead of wandering. It became such an effort to read a book that it was a necessity.I would NEVER read non fiction before audible. I find it like someone telling me their story and I want to read more and more of them.
I have to keep checking for the kindle books that are becoming combos ... The price for these four audibles was $12.96 total because I have the kindle books.
I am now listening to a book for 4 - 6 hours every morning.
Sure is great for meeting challenges ... 55 books already this year. Including door stoppers.

I have a review blog so it's more of a hobby. Most of the kindle freebies I get won't be read for ages and I download them on to my Mister's Ipad and he's the one reading a lot of 'em lately. :)
Last week I bought:
To Kill a Mockingbird 50th anniversary edition (because mine got ruined by a wayward puppy)
The Age of Miracles
Middlesex
My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead
The Walk Up Nameless Ridge
I just bought these from Amazon UK:The End of Mr. Y
The Wings of the Dove
All Quiet on the Western Front
Tales of Terror from the Black Ship
My downfall is the books posted in Around the world in 80 books group. So many are free and introduce countries I will never physically visit.
I picked up Clockwork Angel today. One more audiobook purchase in April and I will qualify for a $10 coupon.
So I got my first e-books last night. After I unfroze my Kobo after not using it for 2 years. I got Little Brother and Homeland as the author is giving them away for free (well Creative Commons licence but it's free) on his website http://craphound.com/littlebrother/do... is the one for the first book.
