Every month amazon has a set of kindle monthly deals. Usually I tweet about the interesting deals and leave it at that, but a couple of months ago I decided to try sharing them more widely. There was nothing of interest last month but this month they have holiday offers too and there are a few interesting offers there
So I’m going to briefly talk about the books I’ve read which are on offer, and those that I have bought myself. Why I liked them/bought them, and what they are about. End links are to the amazon page, any other links are to my reviews.
Please note prices are correct at time of publishing and may be subject to change.
The Uncommon Reader- Alan Bennett
This is one I’ve read already. An enjoyable, easy little read which should go down well with book fans. About the Queen visiting the library.
You can buy it…here (only £2.29)
The Colour Purple- Alice Walker
This is one of those ‘must read’ books and I read it back in school. I only remember it very vaguelly, but I do remember enjoying it.
It’s the story of a black girl during segregation who has all sorts of problems (not just those to do with being black.
You can buy it…here (only £1.99)
Lingo: The Language Spotters Guide to Europe- Gaston Gorren
I remember seeing this some time ago in paperback and considering it, more for my Mum than myself. It does look interesting, it’s about languages and dialects and how they evolve.
You can buy it…here. (only £1.99)
Delusions of Gender- Cordelia Fine
I’ve had this one on my kindle for literally years, but somehow never been in the mood to actually read it. IT does sound like a good read though, about how science is making sexism seem logical.
You can buy it …here (only £1.09)
The Life of a Banana- PP Wong This is one I’ve heard good things about so may buy. About a Chinese girl who is ‘white inside’.
You can buy it…here (only £0.99)
