OK, this isn't a great book sale alert, it's a great online theater alert. We saw this production of The Alchemist and are delighted that the Red Bull theater is offering it online for the first two weeks of February. Hilarious.

here is the link

I guess y'all already know how you feel about Anne Tyler...I read A Spool of Blue Thread when it came out and, well...yeah. But as the years have galumphed along, I've remembered the Whitshank family with exasperated fondness, with occasional flashes of sympathy, and the odd moment of revelation.

I've rated books a lot more highly than this one that have had less impact on me than this one has, and continues to have. So go buy you one for your Kindle, since it's a lousy $1.99: https://smile.amazon.com/Spool-Blue-Thread-Novel-ebook/dp/B00MSS0WVY/

Aliette de Bodard's Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders is on sale for $0.99 through February 6.

>14 richardderus: Richard I thank you, though my bank account may not, for keeping us apprised of all the great Kindle deals!

>15 arubabookwoman: ...if only bank accounts could fill as fast as Kindles, eh Deborah? :-)

I'm stuck in the Kindle ecosystem because of disability, so I keep my ear to the ground. Might as well share.

Ahem.

In service of my quest to earn my demon-horns, I am required to remind you that TODAY ONLY your Kindle can be made to contain The Grand Tour: Letters and Photographs from the British Empire Expedition 1922 by Agatha Christie for the negligible sum of $1.99. Follow this link: https://smile.amazon.com/Grand-Tour-Around-World-Mystery-ebook/dp/B007HB8CSW/

You're welcome.

>13 richardderus: I missed Happiness when it came out, so I am grateful to have it waiting on my kindle when I feel moved to read it.

>18 markon: Indeed! Options are always good.

>20 fuzzi: You beat me to it.

>21 humouress: and that doesn't happen very often, woo!

>20 fuzzi: Thanks, fuzzi! I saw it in my email and then lost it. This is easier than hunting for it!

If you have never read anything by Neal Stephenson, I think a Kindle owner who doesn't take advantage of Quicksilver being $1.99 today: https://smile.amazon.com/Quicksilver-Baroque-Cycle-Neal-Stephenson-ebook/dp/B000...

It is a feast of strange, lovely, and absorbing stories and (while it starts a trilogy) it can in fact be read all by itself as a whole story.

>23 LizzieD: glad to help!

>28 richardderus: that's a good one.

Yes, another $2 well spent. And a penny for the local community theater, though I don't know when they'll be able to stage a play again.

Today there are TWO great Kindlebooks on sale! Illness as Metaphor/AIDS and its Metaphors and River of Doubt are each $2.99 on Satan's Sink of Sin, I mean Amazon.

>31 richardderus: grrr...

>32 fuzzi: Thanks. He's already got me a few times this year. Running away . . .

Would it be an acceptable mea culpa for me to offer up The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin? It's only $1.99 on Kindle (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08CRBYLP8) so is extry affordable, as well as readable and interesting and deeply affecting....

Barely thirty, Lynette is exhausted. Saddled with bad credit and juggling multiple jobs, some illegally, she’s been diligently working to buy the house she lives in with her mother and developmentally disabled brother Kenny. Portland’s housing prices have nearly quadrupled in fifteen years, and the owner is giving them a good deal. Lynette knows it’s their last best chance to own their own home—and obtain the security they’ve never had. While she has enough for the down payment, she needs her mother to cover the rest of the asking price. But a week before they’re set to sign the loan papers, her mother gets cold feet and reneges on her promise, pushing Lynette to her limits to find the money they need.

Set over two days and two nights, The Night Always Comes follows Lynette’s frantic search—an odyssey of hope and anguish that will bring her face to face with greedy rich men and ambitious hustlers, those benefiting and those left behind by a city in the throes of a transformative boom. As her desperation builds and her pleas for help go unanswered, Lynette makes a dangerous choice that sets her on a precarious, frenzied spiral. In trying to save her family’s future, she is plunged into the darkness of her past, and forced to confront the reality of her life.

A heart wrenching portrait of a woman hungry for security and a home in a rapidly changing city, The Night Always Comes raises the difficult questions we are often too afraid to ask ourselves: What is the price of gentrification, and how far are we really prepared to go to achieve the American Dream? Is the American dream even attainable for those living at the edges? Or for too many of us, is it only a hollow promise?

Huge value!

Y'all, I've been warbling my fool head off about Behold the Dreamers for going on five years. I five-starred it...said this just might be The Great American Novel...I can't afford to buy everyone a Kindle copy, even at $2.99 (which it is today), but I would if I could. Go get one.
https://smile.amazon.com/Behold-Dreamers-Oprahs-Book-Club-ebook/dp/B0138OAB80/

https://smile.amazon.com/Collected-Essays-Slouching-Towards-Bethlehem-ebook/dp/B...

Whatever happened to kindle freebies? I don't think I've seen any this year, just temporary low prices.

There's Prime Readers - pick a free book every month, for Prime members. Don't know about any others. I never did find those myself, only when someone pointed me at them - even when I searched on Amazon (the Prime Readers ones come in an email).

If I google 'kindle freebies' it brings up a link.

https://www.amazon.com/kindle-freebies/s?k=kindle+freebies

Yeah - which gets all the Kindle books with "freebie" in the title or series. A few of which are free, but... You can also go to the Kindle store, without searching, and go to a category (have to drill down until you get a list of books), and sort by price low to high; all the $0.00 ones come to the top. But that's not Amazon giving freebies, it's mostly the author and/or publisher.

10 free kindle books available for World Book Day

https://www.amazon.com/article/read-the-world-2022/ref=apubna_pr_pw_10056_eb_dp_...

I highly recommend this series, which isn't as readily available as it should be.

Naratess is holding a sale on 18th-22nd April (get in quick!) for indie authors of fantasy, science fiction and horror:

https://promotions.narratess.com

>54 fuzzi: Oh no, I mean great! A new series!

A top-quality historical fiction read, The Firedrake, is $1.99 on Kindle today:
https://smile.amazon.com/Firedrake-Novel-Cecelia-Holland-ebook/dp/B00J84KX5G/
I read this in ~1970 and, for the first time ever, connected History with his story. The main character pisses over the side of the boat on the way from Normandy to England. "People...pissed...then...?"

A Before-and-After moment of great personal significance, and a formative read that held up to a 2001 re-read.

>57 richardderus: That's like when I'm volunteering at Riding for the Disabled and the horse in front stops for a number 2 - it's a revelation to our rider (usually in the range of 'Ew. That horse is ...!'). It happened again last week.

*sigh* It's always the boys with that reaction.

Bodily functions and ten-year-olds: an eternal romance.

The first volume of Iris Murdoch's collected novels is on Kindlesale today:
https://smile.amazon.com/Novels-Iris-Murdoch-One-Philosophers-ebook/dp/B07CSMB9S...
Included are her queerest novel, Henry and Cato; The Italian Girl; and the truly unsettlingly weird The Philosopher's Pupil, which, if published today would be a category-horror book with seriously supernatural elements.

>1 drneutron: If anyone's interested in older books that are in the public domain, Project Gutenberg offers many titles in many languages. And they're free for Kindle, Nook, or almost any eReader.

>1 drneutron: Almost forgot... If you have a Kindle, Amazon offers some public domain titles for free as well.

>61 ocgreg34: and OpenLibrary.org, too.

I've just found this site (while looking for Malcolm Saville books today):

XXXX

which purports to be the largest collection of e-books. (I assume it's safe.)

ETA >65 jjmcgaffey: Ah. In that case, I'll remove the link.

I'm not seeing much about safety - it's kind of skirting illegal. Or more precisely, it seems to be illegal but not yet being shut down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library

Free book (on Amazon - .com, not sure of others.) It's the first in a rather amazing fantasy series - urban fantasy, sort of. Magic is an established part of the world...but Cori doesn't seem to follow the standard rules. Not the Chosen One! at least not exactly. She asks about that a few times, and is assured not...

So it's Amazon Prime Day(s), which I've never paid attention to before, but I had some books I was looking at for my Kindle and I thought I'd wait and get them at a discount. But when I checked today, there doesn't seem to be any difference in price. To those who know, does that mean that the deals are only on specific items and not site-wide?

>74 humouress: Yeah, I think it's specific items that have deals. Normally there are just good "lightning deals" or "deals of the day" and it's typically more discounts on big-ticket items like TVs or vacuums etc. rather than e-books.

>74 humouress: - Yes, at least in the US, Prime Day features sales on specific things, not everything and anything.

>75 curioussquared: >76 katiekrug: Thanks. I suppose I'm still thinking of Amazon as (primarily) a book place.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JHX4H9V?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_s...

Not exactly a sale, but the latest Zombies Need Brains Kickstarter is on (despite the name, it's not horror). They do a Kickstarter every year for a set of anthologies - usually three, this time it's four anthologies, each with a distinct theme. They set the anchor authors ahead of time, but half of each book is filled from an open call for authors - F&SF on the appropriate theme (and it counts as a professional sale, for SFWA purposes). Really good stories, most of them!

And since you get four ebooks for $20, it is a sale too. But you won't get them until about this time next year. You can get paper books too, but they're pricier and require shipping, so I don't. You'll also get bonus (e)books, depending on when you back and where the Kickstarter has gotten to.

This is their 10th year of Kickstarting anthologies; I have all their previous ones, they have succeeded in both kickstarting and delivering the anthologies every time. They've also started an online magazine, and you can get the ebook of a year's worth of magazine stories along with this kickstarter (I pledged for that).

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/znb/new-zombies-need-brains-anthologies-for...

This year's themes are:
DRAGONESQUE (stories from the point of view of the dragon)
GAME ON! (games - not sports - with an F or SF twist)
SOLAR FLARE (Solarpunk - hopeful, cooperative SF)
ARTIFICE & CRAFT (Magical items)

Aeon by Cianien Bloodstone

Reaghan O'Neill is a nomad. With no ties to hold her to any planet or group, she's free to explore the galaxy with her trusty AI, Twi, at her side. When her ship runs into trouble in an unexplored region of space, Reaghan finds her simple existence shattered and her past about to catch up with her.

Now on the run from a case of mistaken identity, Reaghan has to think fast to stay ahead of people who want nothing more than to use her for some quick credits. Unfortunately, for her, running is about to bring her to something far worse than what she's trying to get away from.

Hawthorn Academy by D.R. Perry

We all start as strangers. Why does that make me so nervous?

I can't imagine life without Mom, Dad, Bubbe or my friends in Salem. And that's what I'll be living at Hawthorn Academy, the campus between worlds. But Hawthorn Academy's the place to be if I want to join the family business as a veterinarian for magic critters.

It's magi only at my new school, so I'm going without my besties. The only person I'll know there is my snarky big brother. At least I've already bonded with a familiar. But my dragonet means I'm destined for above-average power levels.

The last thing I want to do is scare people off. You only get one chance at first impressions, after all.

But will I make friends or enemies?

Now for something silly: Dragon Soup by Patty Jansen

Magic is illegal in Tamba, and dragons are highly magical creatures.
So who, in their right mind, would ask for dragon soup made with dragons in a place where magic is prohibited?
What's the wizard's game?
Why does he give a serving girl two gold coins?
Why does she open her own inn a few days later?
Why is he hanging out with the town's leaders at the dressmaker's fair?

The only way to get the special illustrated edition in paperback or hardcover or ebook.
