Help a Reader Spend Some Money
I read on Twitter that Angela James was looking to take advantage of the Fictionwise 50% rebate offer but couldn’t find any books. I am ordering some dead tree books on Amazon and need one more to meet the free shipping. Help us out here. My shopping cart looks like this:
- The Outback Stars (Tor Science Fiction) – Sandra McDonald (recommended by Heather at The Galaxy Express)
- To Tempt A Scotsman (Zebra Debut) – Victoria Dahl
- Fools Rush In – Kristan Higgins
Suggestions?

Janet Chapman has a new book coming out on the 28th.
“The Man Must Marry”
She’s an auto buy for me.

I have that book. The title should probably be an older one that isn’t in e format. LOL.

THE THIRTEENTH TALE, by Diane Setterfield. One of the best books I’ve read this year.

KETURAH AND LORD DEATH by Martine Leavitt.
YA fantasy romance. Lovely, haunting, not available as an e-book.

Have you read Into the Dark Lands by Michelle Sagara? It’s one of my all times favorites.

I just finished reading Caught by Jami Alden and loved it. This book is not to get confused with Caught by Lori Foster which I haven’t read yet.

The Vanished Child by Sarah Smith. It’s historical/mystery/romance. Which come to think of it might appeal to Jayne more. But I loved it and found the hero riveting.

Part of my problem is that many of the books I have on my Amazon wishlist aren’t available in ebook so I can’t get them on Fictionwise. Right now I have The Chosen Sin by Anya Bast and the October Harlequin Presents bundle in my cart but I’d happily add more. Why oh why isn’t Hunger Games in ebook format?

I’ve just read recently:
Blood & Chocolate (Klause)
Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist (Cohn)
Life as We Knew It (Pfeffer)
The Hunger Games (Collins)
Seduce Me at Sunrise (Kleypas)
Am currently reading ‘Book of a Thousand Days’ by Shannon Hale and it’s wonderful. Would highly recommend any and all of these. :) Esp. Blood & Chocolate!

It depends on what kind of reading mood you are in. I’d suggest
DANCE WITH DECEPTION by Tracy Goodwin – historical romance
KNIGHT’S FORK by Rowena Cherry – science fiction romance
By the way I read FOOLS RUSH In you are going to love it. I certainly did.

I think I’m going with KETURAH AND LORD DEATH. Thank you!
Oct 14, 2008 @ 11:42:22
Yay! I’m so curious to hear your reactions to it.

Now, I’m ordering Katurah and Lord Death because it looks good and seems to be an update of Scheherazade. I’m all over that one.

Jane – I loved The Outback Stars. It was very different, but very good. I look forward to hearing what you think.
Hmmm…KETURAH AND LORD DEATH sounds very interesting.
Edited to add: I just looked up KETURAH AND LORD DEATH on Amazon and it does sound really good. My library doesn’t have it so I may have to be bold and buy it (my empty pockets are screaming at me now :)
*SIGH* While I love discovering new books it doesn’t help my TBR pile. Which reminds me, I MUST place my Amazon and GoodBooksNZ book orders – the pieces of paper with the books I want to order are breeding…

Hope you enjoy all of your new books!

If you’re looking for R-rated beach-read escapism, you could try Captain Devlin’s Captive in paperback on Amazon. It’s a pirate historical romance set in 1692 Bermuda. Or just watch the book trailer on the page – it’s pretty cool, though I say it who shouldn’t. (Yes, the book’s mine – shameless pimping of work alert! I’m terribly sorry.)
(Oh, and you’re only supporting the author when you buy it – for those who might be worried about supporting a certain publishing house which shall not be named.)
The same goes for my Scottish Halloween/Samhain paranormal romance Vampire Close (also on Amazon).
Okay, I’ll shut up now.
