is a good book. I was totally crushing on Anthony Bourdain after reading that, lol.

His sarcasm has always been a draw for me. I watch his show every so often. I opened the book just to skim the first few pages and saw his sarcasm pop out right away (I do not condone nor agree with his statements but he does make me grin):
My naked contempt for vegetarians, sauce-on-siders, the 'lactose intolerant' and the cooking of the Ewok-like Emeril Lagasse is not going to get me my own show on the Food Network. I don't think I'll be getting a back rub from that hunky Bobby Flay.
Anyway, back to the Kindle 25 cent-a-palooza. In case you don't have a Kindle, you can get the same deals on Google play for epub and pdf. I haven't checked out Google play yet so I don't know how it works, but Amazon has been price matching every deal as soon as Google puts it up.
Today's deal :
$0.25 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Need-Talk-About...
Another adult book (sorry not finding many YA). I read this not long ago and it wasn't bad.
$2.99 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Still-Missing-e...
$2.99 @ B&N - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/still...
It's also up at itunes and I think this can be used outside of the US, at least in Canada for sure.
I really enjoyed that one. It is also on sale right now at audible for 4.95, I listened to the audio and it was done really well.
Okay guys, here's the quarter deal for Sunday/Monday!
$0.25 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Giver-Newbery-M...
Also available @ Google Play for those who don't use Amazon products.
I hope this beef that Amazon has with Google Play keeps up for a while. I wouldn't mind seeing 25 cent deals for a while.
I suppose I could get email notifications for stuff but most of the sites I visit have a mix of big publishers and small pub/indie stuff, so if I signed up for alerts I'd be bombarded with all of the constant new indie releases (some days there's upward of 50 in YA alone). I find it easier to just skim a few sites and see what people are buzzing about. I found most of the quarter deals on mobileread.com.

It looks like Amazon hasn't started the price match yet, but the Google Play quarter deal of the day...For the US :
(it was a recent movie)For Canada :
For the UK :
*edit* never mind, it appears that Amazon may not be price matching Google Play for Canada and the UK. Not sure if/when the price match for the US will drop, so if you're interested, you might have to track this one on Amazon.

I've noticed this one getting some buzz on GR but I haven't read it yet. Adult title.
FREE @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Baptized-Fantas...
Not available for Nook
I'd been looking for a genie book and found this one for free. No clue if it's any good though. It could suck for all I know, but I had to jump at downloading a free genie (djinn) book. The two books I've read by this author I was divided on. One was "eh, nothing special" and the other was pretty decent.
FREE @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Smokeless-Fire-...
Not seeing it up at B&N or Smashwords.
I've been getting all the Free books you're posting using Amazon 1-Click and just realized it's been loged in under my husbands name. lol!

Thanks Ashley. :)
This is a great deal for a well-known book.
$0.99 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Knife-Never-Let...
$0.99 @ B&N - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/knife...
$0.99 @ Kobo - http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/The-Kn...
$0.99 @ Sony - http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/patr...
Nook daily deal @ $2.99 (one day only) - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/thron...
This is book 2 of the series. Chances are, Amazon will price match it shortly since they price match most every daily deal of B&N's, so if you're interested, you might want to check Amazon in a little while.
Not sure how many of you are Julie Kagawa fans, but NetGalley has her new book up (not an Iron Knight book, a new series).http://www.netgalley.com/index2.php?m...

Ooh, I want that one! I'll go request it for kicks but they'll deny me like they ALWAYS do!

Wendy, thank you for the heads up... fun read that one.
First book in the Vampirates series is the family daily deal for Nook, which means it's a one day deal.

Amazon has price matched
$2.99 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Vampirates-Demo...
Chaos Walking trilogy .99 cents each on Amazon!

Saw over on MR that these this Jennifer Laurens books is currently free again.
- http://www.amazon.com/Overprotected-e...The poster had claimed A Season of Eden was also free but I'm still seeing a purchase price (it's only saying 0.00 for Prime, which means a loaner). Maybe this will change or has already changed back.
possible edit? I might have found a working free link for ASoE. Check and see if this works. http://www.amazon.com/A-Season-of-Ede...
I see A Season of Eden as free here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004...You have to make sure you're on the "September 29, 2010" Kindle edition, though, because the other one is just a loaner.

Yep, and thanks for looking as well! I found it after posting the first time and had to go back and edit. Sorry about that.
The Kindle Daily Deal is 11 YA books at a reduced price. One day only.http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html...
I almost didn't post this because it's almost over but maybe someone will be interested in the next couple of hours.Amazon UK's deal of the day :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Entangled-ebo...
Great deal for a good hybrid (historical and paranormal) book.
$1.99 @ Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Haunting-Violet...
the third Flappers series book is up on Netgalley right now!Also on Netgalley, for those in Australia, it looks like you get first crack at the newest Morganville book.
Another future buddy read perhaps? I still haven't read the first one. But it'd have to be at least a month out, haha.
Wendy, Yeah, Ashen Winter. It's a beautiful cover. Yeah, I haven't read the first book either. I'm always up for a buddy read :)
I just got Ashen Winter but haven't read Ashfall yet either...I think I'll try to fit it this month.
