Thanks for the heads up. Right now not much there but I'm hoping it grows. It be great to see some back list titles added.
Some I came across in a quick look. Patricia Watters - Master Touch - Free Andrea Parnell - 50% off Novels and 1 Novella free. Emma Daniels - 50% off Katie Salidas - 50% 0ff Patricia Ryan - Silken Threads - Free I own most of these from buying them as I found them and Emma Daniels last time gave her titles away in RAEW. |

I'm sure it will grow. I don't know why they don't advertise this sale in advance. Silly Smashwords.
I found Katie's most recent Immortalis book and added that one to my cart I'm going through "My Library" and checking all my wishlist books to see if they are on sale. I wonder if it would be okay to start a thread in the Self-Promotion forum so all the MR authors participating in the Smashwords sale can let us know and post links to their books. |

Anyone know a back door way to filter the list to see only the most recently added books to the sale? The catalog is sorted by original release date so if something new gets added to the sale catalog it could be pages and pages into the catalog if it is an older book. Hard to see what was added today vs. what was already there yesterday. As the sale catalog grows, it gets even harder to find the stuff that wasn't there before.

Yeah, that would be helpful too. SW really needs to put more focus on making the site buyer-friendly. Can't buy the books if I can't find them!

May McGoldrick is 50% off her books. They run at 6.99 a book. So if you ever wanted her books now is the time to get them.
These all free with coupon there was more but I already bought them. These are Romances mostly. The Wrong Husband Branded The Price of Innocence Bid for a Bride To His Lady's Rescue (Historical Regency Romance) Return of the Aliens Texan Undercover (Romantic Suspense) Married to the MIB Last edited by Blossom; 07-02-2011 at 06:46 PM. |

Wow! I've only ever used Smashwords when sent directly there for a specific author/book by a review, or an author's blog, or a forum post, or something like that. So I've never really tried to use their website much.
I just did try to use it, and at least for this sale, it's even worse than Kobo's! |
