Shopping for books to read this month? Ahoy, thar be great deals afoot.
If you take a look at the Suduvu free books page, there’s offerings including “Darkfever” by Kren Marie Moning, “Kiss of Midnight” from Lara Adrian, and “His Majesty’s Dragon” by Naomi Novik. Suduvu should definitely be on the list of “Hm, wonder what’s up there” sites if you’re looking for ebooks to try.
There’s romance at $1.99 again from Hachette and Grand Central/Forever. Images are to Amazon Kindle, and individual links are to Books on Board.
Insatiable Desire by Rita Herron
Hungry for More by Diana Holquist
Seduce Me by Robyn DeHart
Simple Wishes by Lisa Dale
While not exactly a romance, Blessed Art the Cheesemakers by Sarah-Kate Lynch is also discounted this month, but at BooksOnBoard, only the eReader version is $2.99, matching the Kindle price at Amazon.com.
Finally, the $1 Orbit title this month is Lilith Saintcrow’s Night Shift, available from Amazon and eventually from other retailers when they update their stores (oy).
And don’t forget—for the whole of 2009, Harlequin is celebrating its 60th anniversary by giving away 17 free ebooks, one from each of its imprints. They’re available everywhere, in a bouquet of formats – and it’s part of Harlequin’s goal to put a romance in the hands of one million women. Help them out and spread the word if you’d like at Harlequin Celebrates.
What other deals do you know about?
Thanks for the heads up!
Great post and thanks for the info – I love finds like this. 🙂
Suvudu is confusing me—i only see four titles, including only one of the ones you mentioned, and no “next page” button. where do you find the rest of the books that are free?
I had very good luck with a previous book I bought for $1 from Orbit—Marie Brennan’s Midnight Never Come. Queen Elizabeth I and Fae, but (thankfully) no Shakespeare. Not that I dislike Shakespeare, but Shakespeare and fairies has been a bit overworked.
However, I think I’m going to pass on the Lilith Saintcrow title. I wasn’t really impressed by the last two Dante Valentine books and I haven’t seen or read anything that makes me think I would like this new series better.
I hesitate to do this, but in light of the very interesting and yet mysteriously dispiriting discussion and comments about marketing and the need for brave self-promotion in the Delilah Marvelle post, I will raise my hand and mention that for the next 10 days, my new DRM-free ebook is available directly from the publisher’s website for only $1. It’s about fairytales and has a romantic subplot. Visit my website [click on my name] for more details, an excerpt, and the $1 link.
Due to some kind of geographical restriction, I got all the way through the interminable registration process for the $1 Lilith SaintCrow thing before it told me that, sadly, I was in the wrong geographical area to be eligible to get a $1 Orbit.
Sadface.
Not blaming them, but a wee headsup before I bothered to register would’ve been good. Perhaps it was in small print somewhere. So now the ebook company dudes have all my credit card details (which always worries me a teensy bit) and I don’t gots nuffink out of that. Kiwis, Aussies, don’t bother…
@DS Give Night Shift a chance. I found I was glad the Dante series was only a five book arc and the last two were not as satisfying for me as the first three. But the Jill Kismet series is my favorite writing from Saintcrow and I’ve just finished the third book in the series and can’t wait for the next.
Oooooh, free crack… I mean books.
I am so loving this site – thanks mucho for the addys!
I love the opportunity to try a new author.
