Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments £0.99 on both sites for me. Thanks.

Sandra | 25908 comments Ok, I just checked $0.93 on US & $8.65 - $16.24 on UK depending on which edition. Thats AUD.

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments Strange, I've got £0.99 here: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Someo...


message 1004: by AH (new)

AH | 2271 comments Go to the US site .com. Looks like they just raised it on the UK site. I think they found a mistake.


message 1005: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Ames your link takes me to AUD$13.91. Still $0.93 on US.


message 1006: by Literary Ames (new)

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments Weird.


message 1007: by AH (new)

AH | 2271 comments It's gone. No more $.99 book. If you missed it, it is available on Netgalley. Someone at book depository must have gotten in trouble for that book.


message 1008: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments And the big sale is over as well.....


message 1009: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Yeah, me neither - definitely not a big cook, as we know, and classics smassics.


message 1010: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Who doesn't like cupcakes? ROFL!!!


message 1011: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Well, yeah, okay. I do, but the cookbooks I caught were like "So&so's Chinese dinners" and such. Not my cuppa.


message 1012: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yeah, I saw quite a few of those too, also a knitting one which was quite expensive I thought, and plenty of classics that would be readily available at the library, if you really wanted to read them.


message 1013: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Ditto. Cool idea (of theirs), but wanted to see more current fiction books.


message 1014: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Yep, me too!


message 1015: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments By the way, I couldn't use that coupon, it wouldn't let me in. But I did buy a couple of books anyway ... LOL

Avenger's Angel (The Lost Angel, #1) by Heather Killough-Walden Deliverance (Mortal Path, #3) by Dakota Banks The Pleasure of Bedding a Baroness by Tamara Lejeune


message 1016: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments Ah, sorry. :(

Cool! I hadn't seen the 3rd MP book yet. :) And I just bought Avenger's Angel too.

Sandra | 25908 comments Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you lucky girl :D


message 1019: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Whoohoo! Happy Birthday, Cindy! *throws confetti all over her*

Here's a cupcake! :-D




Cindy (eclecticfirefly) (eclecticfirefly) | 1237 comments Awwwww.....thanks Sandra and Alyssa. BTW Alyssa - you did remove all the calories from the cupcake, didn't you?


message 1021: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Bleah.... Then it would be a bran muffin or something else unappetizing. Why would I do that? :-P


Cindy (eclecticfirefly) (eclecticfirefly) | 1237 comments Well.....I don't really NEED any extra calories. Reading isn't exactly an aerobic exercise!


message 1023: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lyssad87) | 974 comments Then eat it for breakfast tomorrow and adjust your calorie intake for the rest of the day accordingly. Or give it back to me, and I'll devour the little thing in a heartbeat. *Nom nom nom*


Cindy (eclecticfirefly) (eclecticfirefly) | 1237 comments No take backs! I'll suffer thru somehow.....it is chocolate, right?


message 1025: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32703 comments LOL! Happy Birthday, Cindy! :D

FINALLY discovered how easy it is to download books from iTunes and had to grab the two ebooks from Ilona Andrews Silent Blade (Kinsmen #1) by Ilona Andrews And Silver Shark (Kinsmen #2) by Ilona Andrews . And Lady of Light and Shadows (Tairen Soul, #2) by C.L. Wilson since I couldn't find it in a store.

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments Sandra, I saw that one of the ones you grabbed was also free on the US site - -thanks! I will look at what you recently got. :)

The ones Ames bought for cheap are full price though. Ah well, I have too much to read anyway.

message 1041: by Josie (new)

Josie | 1967 comments Thanks Ames, I snagged a couple that you listed. I'm looking forward to the new deals every day :D


message 1042: by Regina (last edited Dec 27, 2011 09:15AM) (new)

Regina (reginar) | 2883 comments The ones I wanted on your list are at full price. :) For example there is no kindle version of Bad Science or Temeraire, and Wither, Paranormalcy, Immortal Beloved, God is Not Great and Fallen are all full price. Unless I am looking in the wrong places? There are a few that are cheaper in the US, but I already have them or do not want them right now. But that is okay! Thank you for reorganizing. :)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 1360 comments I've been putting my Xmas gift cards to good use. Got this on Kindle: Jealous And Freakn' (Freakn' Shifters, #2) by Eve Langlais

And got these in print: Jeweled (Court of Edaeii. #1) by Anya Bast Pleasure and Purpose (An Order of Solace Novel #1) by Megan Hart

I love Hart but I don't have this one on my TBR. But it was $1.49 on Amazon as a bargain book so I couldn't resist. So ladies, if you want it, snatch it up while it's still cheap. Also, the 2nd book No Greater Pleasure (An Order of Solace Novel #2) by Megan Hart is also $1.32 for the moment.


message 1049: by Josie (new)
