Deals of the Moment- August 2016 (Part 3)

By Lucybirdbooks @lucybirdbooks

Every month amazon has a set of kindle monthly deals. Whenever there are deals of interest I post on here. Links are associate links but money goes back into the blog.

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.

I have 28 tabs of deals open this month so I’m breaking this post into three parts; this part (part 3) is books I’m interested in. Part 1 was books I’ve already read, and, part two was books I own/can borrow but haven’t read yet,

Please note prices are correct at time of publishing and may be subject to change.


A Year of Marvellous Ways- Sarah Winman

I’m mainly interested in this because I enjoyed ‘When God Was a Rabbit‘ (it was one of my first ARCs too).  It’s about an old woman and a solider.

You can buy it…here (only £0.99)


Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- Hunter S. Thompson

I partly want to read this because it’s a modern day classic, and partly because it’s on the Rory List. It’s about drugs and the collapse of the American Dream.

You can buy it,,,here (only £1.99)


Emma- Alexander McCall Smith

I enjoyed the original Jane Austen Emma, and I like Alexander McCall Smith’s writing so I would be interested to see his take on the classic

You can buy it…here (only £1.99)



All the Light We Cannot See- Anthony Doerr

I’ve heard really good things about this World War novel, and I love world war novels, I’m not sure how I haven’t acquired this one yet.

Buy it…here (only £1.99)


Orange is the New Black- Piper Kerman

I guess just because I am addicted to the show but raced through the latest series. About a woman in a woman’s prison. Probably the one on this list I’m ;east likely to buy.

Buy it…here (only £1.99) Buy the others in the series, Charlotte Grey, and Birdsong, for £4.99 each.
