Thanks for posting this. As you say, even at half price some of these are pricey. Last time they did this, I picked up book 1 of both The Wheel of Time and Ender series. I see both are on this list as well as a few of the later books. I picked up the second book in the Ender series at Google Play's sale earlier this week, so I may pick up book 3 of that series and book 2 of The Wheel of Time. Hmmm...

You know, I know a lot of people think romance novels are interchangeable (no more so than fantasy or mystery novels), but usually publishers try to at least make sure the cover models *in the same series* don't look the same...I only noticed these because I think this is a shot of Andie McDowell, the actress, or a look-a-like.
16 Lighthouse Road versus 44 Cranberry Point (both in the Cedar Cove series). EDITED TO ADD: Hmm, there are more like this in the same series. So now I'm thinking this really *was* intentional (but weird). So...move along...nothing to see here after all. Last edited by FizzyWater; 06-28-2013 at 06:35 PM. |

I'm getting full price, even when adding from that page . Wish I could get it to work (tried three different browsers) as there are three books I'd like to get.

I just tested as well and am seeing the same thing. Doh! Maybe it's a good thing I DID buy from Google Play. It was definitely working earlier when I added from the sale page even though the product page was showing full price.
