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.
This is one I bought. A ‘guide’ for being human
I bought this one because I loved The Humans. You can buy it…here (only £0.99)
The Forgotten Garden was my introduction to Morton from my pre-blogging days. I’ve since read all of Morton’s books, and whilst this is no longer my favorite (That’s probably The Distant Hours) it’s still one of her best. It looks into the mysteries in the past of a family and has Morton’s usual slightly gothic feel. You can buy it…here (only £1.79)
I’m interested in Bodies of Light because I enjoyed Moss’ other novel Night Waking, The two stories are linked with the main character of Bodies of Light being the sister of the main character in Night Waking. In Bodies of Light the main character is constantly striving to impress and gain affection from her mother. I’ve not bought it because I am unsure of the story itself. You can buy it…here. (only £2.49)
I really love the language books by Forsyth. I’ve read and loved The Etymologicon, The Horologicon and The Elements of Eloquence and thoroughly recommend them all. They’re smart, witty and humorous.
You can buy The Horologicon…here (only £0.99)
H
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is one of my favorite novels set during wartime. (It’s even in The List). It’s about Japanese-Americans during the second world war. You can buy it…here (only £0.99)
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy in Five Parts- Douglas Adams
I must admit I think this one is a real bargain. Funny, geeky, quirky, I love The Hitchhiker’s Guide which follows Arthur Dent a guy who occidentally goes hitchhiking across space when Earth is destroyed. You can buy it…here (only £2.29)
