Even better!

Can we use this thread to post kindle daily deals and other finds?

Heather wrote: "Can we use this thread to post kindle daily deals and other finds?"

Yes, good idea, Heather!

I don't know if it can use it - or understand how to use it!!!! - in Italy

As if I didn't have too many books on my Kindle to read already...! Great link Lesley, thanks, I'll definitely be exploring that site a bit more later :)

Whoops sorry, thanks SHIRLEY - serves me right for typing too quickly!

I've copied this from another book club - apparently some of Amazon's reductions are for a limited time only - just click on the book and it tells you when the offer ends...

Some of us were talking about John Wyndham's books in one of the threads...for anyone who is interested The Midwich Cuckoos is now 99p on kindle - not sure how long for!!

Good idea.

The Snow Child is 99p on kindle at the moment - if you've not read it yet, it's worth a try!

Aww! Already bought my copy for our readalong, but it was a paperback and still cheaper than Waterstones. So, still a win-win.

Tolkien fans : the hobbit, fellowship, tt, ROTK and Silmarillian have all got big price drops at the moment on amazon UK.

Ooh, I've only just found this thread! Fantastic! I love a bargain - and when you're addicted to reading it can get expensive quickly can't it?!! I've found it's worth having a good search every day - I only ever get three daily deal offers if I look on the kindle, but if I use the computer/iPad & search the website there's often quite a few bargains. Also doing a search for 'literary fiction' gave out more diverse options. Hope that's helpful!

Bought for 99 cents La morte di Ivan Ilijc at Ultima books, but in italian ...

I know it's a bit late but for anybody who likes mysteries, the Martin Beck books are all 99p on kindle daily deal today

Ooh - off to see if this is good in the U.S.!

:( apparently not.

Now that would be a difficult read for many of us!

That's a shame Leslie. I've not read them but my boyfriend loves them so whilst at 99p I bought the whole series! It's very easy to spend £10 on the kindle and I have no idea when I'll read them! Ooops

I got hooked on this series during Perks 'Read the World Scandinavia' and have been requesting them one by one from the library!

I bet it would!

Burnt Shadows is just down to £1 89 on UK Kindle. I've heard good things of this, so am buying it right now.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=sr_aj?n...

Oh no, the 12 days of kindle! Responsible for a large part of my kindle tbr mountain! I can't not look though.

I know, I can't resist either!!

I've ordered
The End of Winter
Band-Aid for a Broken Leg
Under the Dome
Fall of Giants

Got to page 10 in order of popularity and started to get a bit bored!

Oh no, I found some bargains on The Book People and ordered them! They were so good I couldn't resist!

Gollancz 50th Anniversary sci-fi fantasy 8 book collection for £5

Penguin Great Loves 20 book collection for £7

There's some great books and authors I've been meaning to read in these sets, now I must ignore all tempting sales emails!

All you Neil Gaiman fans, there are quite a few of his books down to £1.49 today on Kindle in the UK.

Just ordered Stardust but I think I will resist the others

The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing is the Kindle daily deal in the UK today - 99p.

Maybe in the New Year Ill add up how much I've spent on my kindle in December. Then I'll cry.

Heather wrote: "Maybe in the New Year Ill add up how much I've spent on my kindle in December. Then I'll cry."

I'll be joining you there, Heather!

Bit of a shame The Grass is Singing didn't win the poll!

Thanks very much Gill!! I have bought it, and that will enable me to at last get rid of the very battered page-tanned ex-library large print copy I have :)

I don't seem to get the same "daily deals" offered on my kindle that are mentioned here. If I hadn't searched for it by name I wouldn't have found that one. Has anyone else found that they vary? Maybe Amazon try to "tailor" them. In which case I don't think much of their suggestions LOL

Shirley - we could always do a readalong for it?

This is the page I get, Jean.

Thank you - I have bookmarked that. It is different from what comes through to my actual Kindle. Weird!

Wow, we sorted this research project quickly!

LOL Gill!

Jean, I wouldn't mind actually, because at the moment the library has The Golden Notebook booked out for a while so I don't think I will be joining in with it this time. So if I buy The Grass is Singing, perhaps we could do a readalong some time?

Shirley/ Jean, I couldn't resist the 99p offer of The Grass is Singing so I'd be happy for a read along of this.

You can get the Prequel to Bedlam Stories by Christine Converse called Bedlam stories: Project Alice and you can get it for free right now at http://www.bedlamstories.com/book.html . I got it on my tablet and can't wait to check it out! You had to open it as a zip file then opened the file to place it in your ereader as it is a pdf file.

Ooo lovely Shirley and Pink! When would you like to start The Grass is Singing ?

I don't mind doing this one soon as I believe it's quite short

Yes I'm happy to fit it in any time really. Shirley?

Don't forget about Amazon's 12 days of Kindle for any e-reader's here.

I bought A Monster Calls,The Awakening, Defending Jacob
for about £4

Would you mind doing it after My Cousin Rachel? Actually would be better end of Jan for me as I have lots on in Jan?

End of January sounds good :) Maybe if Pink is OK with that too we can add it to the readalong thread so (I) don't forget!
