Price Drops

A few months ago, I ended up binge-reading AJ Lancaster’s Stariel series, on the recommendation of @worktolive on the MobileRead forums. This fantasy series is in Kindle Unlimited, so if you have a KU subscription, you too can binge-read it for free! If you don’t have KU, or just want to buy anyway if they […]

Today’s big deal (7 Nov 2021) at Kindle UK is nine titles by PD James for around £0.99 each. Mostly Adam Dalgliesh, but a few others as well. Titles include (all £0.99 each unless otherwise indicated):A Mind to Murder, Adam Dalgliesh, #2Death of an Expert Witness, Adam Dalgliesh, #6Devices and Desires, Adam Dalgliesh, #8Original Sin,

There seems to be a coupon code, “partners”, available at Kobo right now that gives 40% off on “discountable” books. Coupon codes at Kobo can be frustrating because only some books are discountable. In general, books from the big publishers, like Harper Collins or Simon & Schuster, are not discountable. But books from smaller/independent presses

Brighton Belle is the first in the Mirabelle Bevan series by Sara Sheridan. It has dropped to $1.99/£1.99 at Kindle US and UK. It hasn’t dropped at Kobo US, at least as of now… I’ve quite enjoyed this historical series. Buy at Kindle US | Kindle UK

It’s hard to know quite how to describe <em>The Pig Trilogy </em> by Joseph Caldwell. It’s part cozy mystery, part comedy, part something… In any case, I enjoyed it a lot, although I wouldn’t pay full price for the box set (usually $16.49), or pay for the titles individually (also quite expensive). But now you

I’ve read and liked several books in Vaseem Khan’s Baby Ganesh Agency Investigations series, but haven’t yet read the first book in his Persis Wadia series, Midnight at Malabar House – even though, per SYKM, it won the 2021 Historical Dagger. And now here is the second in the series, The Dying Day, already on

I’ve really enjoyed Chris Ewan’s Good Thief’s Guide series, about a mystery writer and professional thief who bounces around Europe and gets involved in some dicey and humorous situations. Right now, all five of the series titles (Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Vegas, Venice) are available in an omnibus in the UK, which has just dropped to

The Univesity of Chicago offers one book each month for free. IMO, they’ve ranged from awesome to kind of odd, but always have provoked a bit of thought. This month’s book (Nov 2021) is Consumed: Food for a Finite Planet by Sarah Elton, which appears to be pretty much what you might guess from the

The Maggie Sullivan Mysteries Books 1-4 is pretty much what it says it is – an omnibus of the first four titles in the Maggie Sullivan series by M. Ruth Myers. I’ve read and enjoyed a couple of these, so I’m glad to see the omnibus on sale in both the US ($1.99) and UK

Slough House is the 7th and most recent (2021) in Mick Herron’s, well, Slough House series. Usually it’s the first book in a series that carries the name of the series – I have no idea why it has taken him seven books ?. Slough House is £0.99 today as part of the UK Kindle
