Every month amazon has a set of kindle monthly deals. This in the post where I talk about any books which are of interest.
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. Amazon links are affiliate links but any money made goes back into the blog (e.g. for giveaways)
Please note prices are correct at time of publishing and may be subject to change.
I may buy this one because it’s on The Rory List, although I’m not sure how ‘me’ it is. Plus it’s very popular. It’s about drugs and the ‘American Dream’
Buy it…here (only £1.99)
I love Jeffrey Eugenides writing, and especially liked Middlesex. The Virgin Suicides is a sort of modern classic. About a family of girls who all commit suicide.
You can buy it…here (only £1.99)
This is one of my favorite World War novels. It’s about the Japanese community in America during WW2.
You can buy it…here. (only £0.99)
I’ve heard some fantastic things about this book, but again I’m not sure if it’s one for me, it seems a bit self-helpy for my taste. However I may give it a go. It’s a sort of autobiography showing the various methods Rubin used to gain happiness and how they worked out for her

I am a big Picoult fan, I’ve read all her books. Keeping Faith is about a kid who starts hearing God. She ends up with a lot of attention, but so much rubbish is going on in her life, is she really hearing God?

Yes another Picoult one. This is about an ex-Nazi SS solider who wants forgiveness. Not a ‘usual’ Picoult but very good
Buy it…here (only £1.49)
Anita and Me was one of the first ‘adult’ books I read. It’s about an Asian girl growing up in a predominately white town, and wanting to fit in.

This is one of those books everyone says you ‘have’ to read. It’s about a geek who lives in a dream world- basically.
Buy it…here (only £2.59)
I loved this book when I read it. It’s a bit like Nick Hornby in style. About a man who tries to find a woman whose disposable camera he accidentally took.
Buy it…here (only £1.99)
Kommandant’s Girl is probably my favorite Pam Jenoff (at least so far). It’s about a girl who gets together with a German Kommndant to help the resistance during WW2.
Buy it…here (only £0.99)
I just finished this one (it’s a Summer deal rather than a monthly). I highlighted a lot of quotes (see a few on my tumblr). It’s sort of insightful, a coming of age novel, but with the usual Gaiman fantasy element (yeah, can you tell I still need to write my review?)
Buy it…here (only £0.99)
A very moving book, and sad. About a woman with early-onset dementia.
Buy it…here (only £1.99)
If anyone doesn’t already have it! It’s a dystopian book about a ‘game’ played every year where basically kids have to kill each other off, sort of based on Battle Royal. I really liked it.
Buy it…here (only £2.19)
Not my favorite Rainbow Rowell, but still great. Geeky. It’s a love story, but more too.
