Amazon has since matched the Nook deal. They usually try to price match from what I can see.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Thanks Jenny, that's a great book.

Hillary (eledri) | 759 comments Audible is doing their sale for firsts in a series for $4.95 and there are some decent titles. Especially The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss

Take a look audiobook people! :)


message 159: by Stacie (new)

Stacie  (stack-i-e) Thanks Jenny and Hillary!


message 160: by D.G. (new)

D.G. LOL, Hillary! I'm just downloading The Name of the Wind!

I read it already but I want to do a re-read in audio before I read Day 2. :)


message 161: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) I just emailed you my list DG. I went kinda crazy.


message 162: by Stacie (new)

Stacie  (stack-i-e) I went kinda crazy too, got 6 books but hey that is the price of two or sometimes one regular priced! I'm set for audiobooks for awhile, especially since Outlander and The Name of the Wind are really long!


message 163: by Leea (last edited Feb 07, 2012 10:12PM) (new)

Leea I finished Addicted by Charlotte Featherstone I liked it - it drove me crazy... It's too late to go into it haha!

Going to start Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran for another Group read.

Glad you ladies got so many audio book deals - that's awesome!


message 164: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) | 77 comments I haven't listened to The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss but the narrator is the same one who did The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness , which was awesome. I've also heard great things about NotW, and $4.95 is a steal!

I am looking at yours. I saw you decided against Sandstorm -- why? That one seems interesting, and I am itching for a genre switch.


message 168: by D.G. (last edited Feb 08, 2012 09:45AM) (new)

D.G. I was able to find it on Audio CD in one of my libraries.

A friend recommended it a few months ago and I've been meaning to read it so I'm really looking forward to it.


message 169: by D.G. (new)

D.G. I think I'll get Hyperion too. But I'm still deciding, LOL!


message 170: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) It looks good. I foudn #2 in that mystery series you just finished, and my library has 3+ in CD, so I still need to find 1. Audible got back to me, they will consider adding it to their next sale, but that isn't for months. For some reason I really want to start it now.

It looks so good! I think I will be adding 3-4 more.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I might have to pick up the Drake Chronicles book since I liked one of her other books (Haunting Violet).


What used to be My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles, #1) by Alyxandra Harvey is now showing as Hearts at Stake (The Drake Chronicles, #1) by Alyxandra Harvey . It's Drake Chronicles book 1.

FREE @ B&N - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/heart...

Amazon is currently showing it as $2.51 (US), but they have been price matching just about every deal almost right away, so I'm assuming it will be FREE for both US and UK within the next day or so. If you're interested, I'd just check their site tomorrow and/or the day after.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Np!

Just a note. I'm noticing that a few of the recent postings have gone up in price within a couple of days, so if you end up seeing a freebie that looks interesting, be sure to grab it before the price goes up.


message 181: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) You are very right about that -- I grabbed some favorites of mine that were on special for awhile, and now they are 9.99

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments She lives!

I've been scouring the usual free/discounted book sites and there seems to be not a lot of known/big name books being offered right now, just a bunch of indie/small pub stuff like...

Kingdom Jumper (Children of Avalon 1) by E.S. Lark Vamplayers by Rusty Fischer , etc. both on Amazon and I think the vamp one is on Amazon UK, B&N, and itunes (for Canadians). In too much of a mind fog tonight to go cross check and get links for the stuff. A search on the sites should take you there.

Amazon UK deal of the day : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.ht...

Not showing on US yet, but it hasn't hit midnight PST, so maybe they'll offer a deal later.

Amazon UK deal of the day. Sorry if I'm putting up so late for you guys, but it's still early where I'm at, so I'm just seeing it now.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I don't know how you guys feel about me posting a constant stream of indie freebies, since there seem to be several released daily. So many of the new books don't have reviews up (or only have a few from friends of the author but not much opinion from the general public), so I would feel guilty if I ended up dropping a bunch of duds on you guys.

This one seems to have at least a bunch of reviews by now to check for good/bad opinions. I think it's only free for one day.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments There aren't many reviews out on this one, but I figure since I haven't had a lot of fantasy offerings, I'd put it up. Free is no risk anyway...

message 192: by Ashley (new)

Ashley  (ashleycw) | 257 comments I really should become a prime member, if only for the Free books.


message 193: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Ah crap. Sorry, the price must have gone up since I posted. It must have been a one day freebie. A lot of the recent freebies have only been offered for a day or two.

Prime doesn't give you free books. When it shows a book as zero, it means you can borrow it for free. As far as I know, you can only borrow one book per month? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.


message 194: by Hillary (last edited Feb 25, 2012 07:16AM) (new)

Hillary (eledri) | 759 comments No, that's right, it's for borrowing, and only 1 a month.


message 195: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Amazon is sort of stingy with that info. I saw someone complain that they had picked out some prime books and didn't know they would be charged for them.


message 196: by Hillary (new)

Hillary (eledri) | 759 comments Yeah they don't have it marked very clearly. I only remember because for like a month the front page of amazon kept telling me about it. It thought it was being enticing. It was really however being annoying.


message 197: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Personally, I would never join just for the books, usually those are the same books that libraries have anyway! It is a nice bonus feature on a good program though.

I don't agree that they don't put the information out there that it is a borrowing program. Amazon has a policy that they refund ebooks - -so if something is misbought, it takes a call to Amazon or an email and it is taken cover right away. So there is no problem if a person doesn't understand, it can be remedied. But right on the book page, under the price is this information:

For Kindle Device Owners

Borrow this book for free, with no due dates, if you are a Kindle owner and Prime member. If you don't own a Kindle, get yours today. If you're not a Prime member, start your one month free trial today. You can borrow this book from your Kindle device.

With Prime, Kindle owners can choose from thousands of books to borrow for free — including over 100 current and former New York Times Bestsellers — as frequently as a book a month, with no due dates. Learn more about Kindle Owners' Lending Library.

and then there is a link to their one of their FAQs on the program, including this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custome...


So I am not sure what else they could do to advertise that it is borrowing? I have been a Prime member since 2003. I think it has a lot of benefits, mainly the free 2-day shipping which is why I was a member for so long. And now the streaming of movies and tv shows. The Kindle library is an added benefit that I personally don't use. I would never join just for the books, usually those are the same books that libraries have anyway!

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I've never tried since my Kindle is so new, so I can't say that I knew how it worked. I was just going off a complaint I'd seen.


message 199: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) It is hard to access, you need to do it form your Kindle rather than the website.


message 200: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I doubt I'd ever use the feature anyway. I've never used the peer-to-peer lending on Nook or Kindle either, although I used to borrow ebooks from my library.
