✬ Get yer red hot bargains here! ✬ Part 7

Time for a new thread!

Nettle & Bone is on sale for $1.99. Highly recommended. I had borrowed a copy from OverDrive to read, so I snagged this.

I snagged it today too--same price at Barnes & Noble.

>2 Marissa_Doyle: I assumed/hoped it was across all platforms.

Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett is on sale for Kindle* for $2.99. I've already read a borrowed copy, and I've listen to it, and I bought it anyway.

*And possibly other platforms.

>4 clamairy: Humble Bundle has 39 Discworld Books for $18

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-pratchetts-discworld-harpercollins-book...

Kobo only, but Calibre + sideloading works

>5 jab1972: Holy crap. That's 46 cents per book!

>5 jab1972: Also, not everywhere (not in NL for example) but VPNs exist :D

For those curious about the Discworld Humble Bundle, it's missing just two books: The Last Hero (#27) and Raising Steam (#40).

I grabbed Nettle & Bone on y'all's recommendation, thanks. :)

>8 saltmanz: I hope you enjoy it!

I just found A Very Lively Murder, sequel to The Three Dahlias, for 99 cents on Barnes and Noble, so I assume it's that price elsewhere...

If you have an Audible membership A Wing and a Prayer: The Race to Save Our Vanishing Birds is on sale for $2.99. Definitely worth it.

You almost got me, but Cassandra Campbell...ugh. She's almost as bad as Scott Brick.

>17 Bookmarque: I thought she was fine. She only narrates half of the book anyway. The guy was okay too, but he pronounced a lot of words oddly. I need to check to see where he's from. (He says "expeeriment." LOL)

It's funny, I've heard Campbell in conversation and it's much nicer when she drops all that affectation. Expeeriment. Weird. I'll give it a pass. Bad narration makes me crazy.

If you have Amazon Prime you have until until April 30th to claim one free Kindle book to celebrate World Book Day. (I remember when they used to give us a bunch of them.)

I am not sure if this link will work: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=87672506011

>23 clamairy: Looks like that is only good if you have Kindle Unlimited?

>23 clamairy: I don't have Kindle Unlimited. Scroll down on whatever you picked, and the price should be free. Try this link:

https://www.amazon.com/b?node=87672506011&ref_=pe_2251220_876995640

>25 clamairy: Nope. Says I can read or listen free with Unlimited, but to buy on Kindle is $4.99. Maybe because you are an Audible member?

>26 MrsLee: I got one for free and I don’t have Audible. It looks like there is a charge, but further down it applies a credit and says you pay 0. I remember having to look around the page last year a bit before I was convinced it was free.
They aren’t making it easy to get the one book. I also remember when it was 10 free books.

>27 raidergirl3: & >26 MrsLee: Yes, you have to scroll down. Might be easier to see on a computer screen than on a phone. And I thought it definitely stated it was for Prime members, but it might have been for Kindle content customers.

>29 Sakerfalcon: I hope you tried the link anyway. The wording in the email was odd, and part of it was cut off when I clicked on it.

Here is the small print. You DON'T need Prime, but you must have an Amazon account. Some of the books might be for US users only.

>33 raidergirl3: Good. I think many of them will be available in Europe, too. (But possibly not all.)

This month's StoryBundle offering:

The Universe of Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle - Curated by independent authors John Wilker & Dave Walsh

When it comes to science fiction, there are a lot of different flavors. Through the ages, science fiction has been many things to a great many people. It's never been just one thing. Just one type of story. There's sci-fi that's quiet and contemplative, sci-fi that sticks to our understanding of modern science, then there's sci-fi that spans different galaxies and times, or even sci-fi that warps our understanding of reality.

But when most people think of science fiction, it's hard not to think of adventure.

It doesn't always have to be grand, galaxy-hopping adventures, either. Sometimes it's smaller-scale stories, focusing instead on a few characters going up against inconceivable odds.

For this bundle, we've collected books from all across the wide world of science fiction and found adventures big and small. The kind of books that help you remember why you fell in love with science fiction in the first place. – John Wilker & Dave Walsh

Robert Silverberg's excellent "Heart of Darkness but in space", Downward to the Earth, is only $2 right now: https://amazon.com/dp/B09RPRDG5F

Audible is running a big sale right now. Got some great bargains. The three Silo books - Wool, Shift & Dust - each are about $2.50 or less.

I think the Audible sale is site wide, though not everything is equally discounted.

>44 Bookmarque: & >45 Narilka: There's a lot of Scalzi on sale!

Yeah Narilka the discounts vary, but every audiobook is discounted. Hard not to go too crazy!

>47 Bookmarque: Agreed. And I already have a backlog... At least lately I've been listening to them at a much faster rate than I've been buying them. Theoretically I should eventually catch up.

>47 Bookmarque: Completely understandable :)

>43 saltmanz: Thanks, that was too good to pass up!

The Beekeeper’s Apprentice Kindle version is free today on Amazon(dot)co(dot)uk

Tigana is $1.99 for Kindle 'for a limited time'.

From 'Dreamline' by Rush:

"We are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time"

>53 Karlstar: Thanks. I was on the fence about buying it but I looked it up on Amazon and found out that the audible version is included free with a membership. So I put that in my library.
