Today only at Amazon, you can rent all of the Harry Potter movies for $2.99, or buy each one for $6.99 – a difference of $4. (My maths are legend, I tell you.) If you’ve got a Fire Stick and you travel with it like we do, this would put all the Harry Potter movies in your digital library wherever you go. I love building my digital film and tv show collection with sales.
And books! Books are on sale, too!

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is $1.99 – and thanks to Ms Bookjunkie on Twitter for the heads up. This is a short nonfiction volume based on Adichie’s very popular TEDx talk by the same name. This book has over 9000 reviews on GoodReads, and a 4.4-star average. For $1.99, it’s a great and thoughtful gift for any reader you know.
What does “feminism” mean today? That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-viewed Tedx talk of the same name—by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. With humor and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century—one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviors that marginalize women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences—in the U.S., in her native Nigeria, and abroad—offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. Argued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a bestselling novelist, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman today—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

RECOMMENDED: Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn is $1.99! This book and series has been mentioned quite a bit on the site. Elyse recommended it if you like historical mysteries. Reader StacieH4 mentioned it for those who prefer their romance light on sex, and Reader Tina Chaney said on a podcast that the book has one of her favorite opening lines. Have you read it?
“Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.”
These ominous words, slashed from the pages of a book of Psalms, are the last threat that the darling of London society, Sir Edward Grey, receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, Sir Edward collapses and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests.
Prepared to accept that Edward’s death was due to a long-standing physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests that Sir Edward has been murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when she discovers the damning paper for herself, and realizes the truth.
Determined to bring her husband’s murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward’s demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.

On NPR this morning, they talked about a program in Sweden (the Sweden Women’s Lobby) that gave all 16-year old students a copy of “We Should All Be Feminists”. <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/12/04/458514464/sweden-gives-we-should-all-be-feminists-to-every-16-year-old-student"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/12/04/458514464/sweden-gives-we-should-all-be-feminists-to-every-16-year-old-student
RE: Deanna Raybourn–shouldn’t the title be larger than her name?
This is going to sound silly but I stand by it.
I stopped reading Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn halfway through and never finished it because it was getting long, and I was reading a scene where Julia (the main character) has gone against the orders of her romantic interest Brisbane and she is expecting to be hit. She thinks to herself that she deserves to be hit and all she did was visit a “gypsy camp” and didn’t even make a ruckus or anything. There are parts of the book that are very “wow my family and I are so progressive for this era”. Her sister is a lesbian with a lover and they aren’t puritanical or anything. But something about reading how she thinks she deserves to be hit, by the romantic interest no less, just made me really upset and I didn’t want to continue.
Trish: The larger the name is, the more the publisher expects that to be the book’s selling point. If you track covers over a writer’s career, name engorgement is a common trend. Names like “Nora Roberts” and “Stephen King” often fill half the cover because that’s the reason people are buying the book.
Yeah, I was fixing to say, Deanna Rayburn has hit the big time if her name is the biggest thing on the cover. And I think all the books in this series have been updated with new covers.
To those individuals considering Deanna Raybourn’s Lady Julia series: if you have issues with serious TSTL moments, there will come a time when you will be tempted to throw the book at the wall. It doesn’t take place until after she and Brisbane marry, but I must admit to walking away after its occurrence. Which was sad because prior to that, I’d been recommending them to everyone I knew who read mysteries.
If you’ve read the series you know what I’m referring to, if not, I can mention it but it’s somewhat spoilery. Though, as always, ymmv.
“The Invasion of the Tearling” (sequel to “The Queen of the Tearling”) is $1.99! QoT will be made into a movie by the producers of Harry Potter and Emma Watson will star as Kelsea Glynn.
Skip the Raybourn series and, instead, dive into The Sebastian St Cyr series by C S Harris. First book in the series, What Angels Fear, is on sale for $1.99. No TSTL women in this series!
