chesilbeach Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I didn't find anything that tickled my fancy this month, but I'm trying not to buy any books so that's not necessarily a bad thing! I was a bit tempted by the Pompeii book by Mary Beard, but I don't read a lot of history and I worry I might put it off forever if I did get it.

pontalba Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction and is intrigued by the synopsis. I've read it twice, 10 years apart, enjoyed both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The first two Adrian Mole books are 99p today (combined in an anniversary edition). Not sure buying them was a good idea; read the first 10% in 20 minutes today, despite the critical acclaim at the time, it hasn't aged very well...

poppy Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 One of our old members, Michael, has a Kindle book available, free tomorrow, Sunday, UK time. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Counting-Clouds-Michael-J-Dixon-ebook/dp/B06Y28KZCR/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1491645842&sr=1-1&keywords=counting+the+clouds Michael has previously published a book, Kicking The Tyres, which was a rollicking good, adventure/action story with a good bit of romance thrown in and I expect this one to be just as an enjoyable read.

Anna Faversham Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi Poppy in Aotearoa, I'm dual Kiwi/Brit and have just returned from the land of the long white cloud. Wellington, as they say, cannot be beaten on a sunny day. So special. I tried to find Kicking the Tyres on Amazon but it didn't show up. I wish Michael success with his downloads - go everyone, it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Wellington too, as far as cities go, the wind adds to the vibrancy although it can make for some pretty lively landings at the airport. Hope you can make it back again soon. I'm sorry, I should have said Kicking the Tyres was published in book form, not on Kindle (as far as I know anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 New month, new deals, and this month there are quite a few good ones! (to many to mention them all, but I will get a plug in for The Day of the Triffids, in case anyone hasn't read it before - a bargin at £1.99!).

bobblybear Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I bought loads from the monthly deals this morning....a really great selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I bought Lincoln In The Bardo by George Saunders from the daily deal today - I've heard it discussed on quite a few of my book podcasts and radio programmes, but it's not been out in hardback long, so full price hb edition is still £18.99, and paperback not due until Feb next year, so thought it would be a while before I bought it, but at only 99p today, I couldn't refuse.
