Most of the time I head for the free or cheap reads from Carina or DANL, and smashwords. I often try to see if a book advertised on this thread is also available elsewhere because people without Kindles are left out in the cold. I would read people on MR who say they don't Kindles who know how to strip and convert, but I wasn't one of them, pre-Kindle. I'd look and look for ways to separate the danged files and make them mine, but without that danged registered serial number I was sunk. So i swallowed my pride and bought the cheapest model they had. Thanks for the reminder, though. I will try to look for sources other than amazon. |

In one in between the numbers you really see how strong Ranger's feelings are for Steph. Yes I am a Babe! You can keep your cupcake! I also own the spin off series which is going pretty good. Lizzy is becoming her own self. I get so riled up when they try to say that it's just like the Plum books because it's not. Lizzy is nothing like Stephanie and Diesel is well Diesel and Wolf is nothing like Ranger. He's the bad guy sorta. Ranger is not a bad guy or corny like this guy. The paranormal element and setting in Salem make these books really unique and I'm looking forward for the next one. I highly recommend getting the audio book versions. My overdrive Library has most of them so I check them out as they come available or use credits at audible. They are soo good. Lorelei King does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. The thing about the Plum series is it's not a romance it's not exactly a cozy mystery. It's a comedy. It's like a sitcom. It's laugh out loud funny and over the top and at times just plain weird. It's cracktastic! I just can not go a week without rereading or listening to one of the books. November can't get here fast enough! Right now I am reading the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley which has a faint Plum likeness to it but it really holds its own. It's more of a romance with really hot bad boys as heroes. I think that's the appeal for me. Last edited by Blossom; 08-14-2012 at 11:55 PM. |

Anything Agency will be priced at other places the same price. So those are never Amazon only offers. You can check estores like B&N, Sony, Books On Board and Kobo for price matching. Smashwords is really hard to keep up with. I gave up a long time ago. I only check there very rarely. Sometimes on Facebook an author will mention a free book there and then I post it here. |

I thought it was stated when this group first started that it was going to be mostly Kindle freebies because so many books were free in KDP, and that non-Amazon exclusives were going to continue to be posted as their own thread?
We've evolved to chit-chat about more than that, but that was the primary focus as I recall it. I could be wrong, of course.. |
