The author duo of Ilona Andrews are offering last year’s novella, Sanctuary, for free, from now until the end of the year, via their own store only. It is NOT free via any of the traditional retailers. Sanctuary definitely has year-end holiday tie-ins, so it’s a nice one to read this time of year.

I’m not quite sure what message giving someone a book called The In Death Christmas Collection might send. After all, “In Death” and “Christmas Collection” don’t sound like they really truly belong together.

A few years ago, I had an ARC of Consolation, which is one of the books in Garry Disher’s Hirsch series, and I really liked it. And since then, I’ve read a few of his other books when I’ve been able to get them on sale, and have also liked those. Now, all seven books in
December’s Kindle First Read books, one of which is free to Prime members before the official release, include three thriller/suspense books. I’m typically not much into thriller/suspense, but do like some from time-to-time. And, of course, YMMV… The three books are: • The Water Lies by Amy Meyerson • Her Beautiful Life by Brianna Labuskes

Two collections of Diana Wynne Jones’ books are on sale for nice prices in the UK: the three books in the The Land of Ingary Trilogy, which includes Howl’s Moving Castle, for £1.99; and all seven Chrestomanci books, on sale for £4.99. Sadly, these aren’t on sale in the US, at least as of now.
Once again this weekend, Joffe has two free books, and as usual, one is a mystery, and one is a romance… Murder on Sea is the first in the Rina Martin series by Jane Adams. It’s Joffe’s free Friday/weekend book for a few more hours – apologies, I’ve been really busy this holiday weekend. Murder

A bunch of books in the Jack Daniels (Lt Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels) series by JA Konrath are free right now, including the first two, and a bunch more are available for $0.99 each at Kindle US. The first few books in the series were conventionally published, and per SYKM, the first book, Whiskey Sour, was a
I’m from California, so for me, “trembling lands” has an entirely different meaning… Oddly enough, although I am a big fan of historical mysteries, especially those set in unusual times or places, I haven’t previously read any of Barbara Hambly’s Benjamin January series, set in 1830s New Orleans.
