eBook Deals & Freebies (no self-promotion, please)
In reference to what you said about book 2 of PJ, I am finding it strange that a few recent series have been putting book 2 as their "on sale" book. The only thing I can think of is if they had the first book on sale about a month or two prior and they're trying to get people hooked up again if they stalled out on the series.Todays B&N deal is book 2 in the Tiger's Curse series. Check Amazon within the next hour or two for their price match.
$2.49 @ B&N - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/tiger...

Okay, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, what is "DRM-free" mean?? I'm thinking "digital reader"...something. What's the "M" stand for?

It's the thing on ebooks that keeps you from converting the file to different formats and reading the book on different devices. Without a DRM on the book, you can freely and legally convert it to work on any of your devices.
Nook Daily deal and Amazon is price matching it.

Also, the third Inkheart book is $1.99 (should be on both sites) if anyone has only read part of the series.One day only.
Kindle now has their June discounts posted. I do not know which ones are repeats of previous months and which ones are new, so I'm just going to post the list.

Amazon will probably match it shortly.
Sorry, I've been failing at combing the free sites lately. I'll try to do a check tomorrow.

Okay, I admit to being a dummy and getting them confused. It's not Vampire Diaries so many of you rave about, that's Vampire Academy, right?
There's a lot of raving about both. Its Vampire Academy the book, and Vampire Diaries the tv show, lol. I think you're thinking of the book though.
I know Vampire Diaries is the TV show, I just want to know what book series I keep hearing "those who haven't read them should!" So that's Vampire Academy?
Yeah, thats definitely Vampire Academy. Much better than Vampire Diaries.
Okay, thanks, that helps! Was initially excited to see the vampire diaries first book for 99 cents, then realized that wasn't the series I kept hearing about, then was completely confused!
This is what I get for going MIA, I miss out on a bunch of great deals, sigh :(
For those who haven't checked the audiobook topic, don't forget that Sync's got 2 new free audiobooks every week this summer and there are some good ones. Looks like it's not limited to the U.S. either. Link is up here : http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
I still need to verify this, but I've been told that
is up on E. :)

Uh oh. If I get approved for that, it means I might actually have to read book 2.
Gah. I don't know why but I just hate using that site for galleys.
Looks like it was taken down. :( I searched book title, author title and series title and found nothing. Didn't try publisher though...probably should have.
Well piss, it looks like they did take it down.
A lot of books are like that. They give out a few copies and then the book poofs. It's too bad but I am not going to sit there and comb all of the galley sites every day to keep up with it either.

The Chemical Garden series? I thought book 1 was okay but I'd heard that book 2 wasn't as good. I was only going to read it if I got book 3 as a galley because why not...This isn't an ebook but I was wondering if anyone has ordered used books from B&N/Amazon type partners for a penny like this one : http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/reven...
I was wondering how much you'd have to pay for the shipping and if it's worth doing it at all.
If you add it to your cart it shows you. The one I clicked on was from Washington and was charging 3.99 S&H.
I think we'd mentioned these before, so I'm not going to repost links but saw them again while I was browsing the cheapie sites today. Anna Dressed in Blood is still $2.99 @ Amazon (and maybe B&N, didn't check)
is showing (this might be a price drop) $1.59 at Amazon and B&N. It's also discounted for Amazon UK.

I wasn't a fan. I doubt I'll continue the series. It's probably sad that I was going to apply for the galley of book 3 and actually consider reading book 2 if I'd gotten book 3. There's something about freebies that are hard to pass up.Someone here likes the series though, so maybe they'll be able to say something positive that would make you want to read it. I don't remember who the person is now, unfortunately.
That what I keep hearing. Well I hadn't planned on reading it in the first place. I just didn't want to pass up a good deal. Now if it was free, I might consider reading it...
Not YA, but want to post it anyway for the Game of Thrones / epic fantasy fans: The first two Malazan books are on sale for $2.99 each. I haven't read them yet but I've been meaning to for quite a while and this is a good chance to snag the first two cheap. Yay!

Nook is not showing these as on sale. Nook peeps may want to check the Nook store later and see if they've price matched.
I thought someone had posted this before but I couldn't find it...
is today's "free Friday" selection at B&N, although I think it's been free for a while. I'm sure Amazon has the same deal but I didn't check on that...
Peaches is free on Kindle as well as one of those preorders with bonus materials. The bonus material is a preview of her new book, Tiger Lily.
I just noticed this one is free on both B&N and Amazon- has anyone read this? It looks to have some pretty positive reviews...

Please feel free to re-post any deals I find in your group if you want. I should cross post but I tend to work my GR stuff off a list and have this mental checklist that I go through and tackle, so when I'm done with one thing I'm off to the next.
