Yeah, code not working anymore. But I still got quite a deal on a few of today's selections. So not complaining.

Not sure how I feel about not getting former selections on the credits anymore. It was nice to have the option, in case the following months didn't have what I wanted. But on the other hand, I hadn't really expected to get that option to begin with when I signed up.

I guess I won't hoard my credits anymore . I have still 3 and already gotten one of this month selection. I see 2 others I want to get so that is good and I'll do that before the month is up. Then I am almost caught up.

Now if I could just find more hours in the day to read all these books.

I've read 3 books so far this year, so I know what you mean. I'm having a real hard time figure out what to read next. Being the new year I want to start a series but not sure yet which one. I then have to get back into reading Historical romance. After such a long time I have no clue which one to ease myself back into it.

I've been pretty happy with my DANL membership. It seems they are working the discount a little better this month. Plus you can't beat the sales. I got the historical ones from my credits this month. I will be renewing. The Christmas Sale has made me very happy to do business with them again.

[Atunah]

I too will be getting the historicals. Those are my favorite romance reads anyway. I been also pretty happy with DANL. Good deals and I kind of like to support what they did for romance. I always thought someone should do something specific for romance. So many sub genres, so many voracious readers.

Isn't it so true about getting overwhelmed about what to read next? I make all these plans and browse and buy and hunt for deals, but when it comes down to pick the next book I am like ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I can't make my mind up. Too many choices?

Yet I keep checking this thread everyday, need more books.

Discover15 stopped working for me a few days ago as well. I am still buying from DANL directly instead of going to Kobo, because the difference (even if you use a Kobo code) is in the area of a few cents, and I prefer getting the books DRM-free from DANL. The Christmas bargains were great, and with 8 free books to choose among each month, I am not complaining. I even went and bought one of them (the Ashford) after I'd spent my credit on another (the Murray). So all in all, I am still happy with DANL.

Same here I am buying from DANL too. All Christmas sales I bought directly from the site. This last one I bought 4 books. There is also a bunch of discounted books on the front page. You just can't beat it.

I know that I've bought a lot of books from DANL. When books go under $1.00 US then I buy a lot! I'm usually able to find a book each month so my credits don't pile up. I've learned that I don't care for contemporary romance a la Harlequin but I love historically accurate romances and paranormals (both historical and contemporary).

I use to feel the same way. Don't give up on contemporary romance. Harlequins are pretty cookie cutter formula stories with a few exceptions. I found I love Romantic suspense and I like funny romances that make me laugh like Christie Craig's books. I also like Modern Westerns, Heroes in Uniforms and bad boys. I have a real hard time reading anything where the hero a CEO and stories like that. I need action, comedy or a really good mystery plot to keep me reading.

I must admit that I like to read romances, but for me they are all almost historical. I guess my imagination just likes the days of yore!

A Fine Madness (The PAX Series) Kindle Edition
Formerly published in print by Harlequin American Romance in 1988

Because it's a dangerous world and heroes are in short supply.

Third in the series of books featuring the PAX anti-terrorist organization, a collection of scholars and outlaws, renegades and geek geniuses, who risk their lives on a daily basis to keep the world safe.

Max Brody owns a down-on-its-luck airstrip in central New Jersey. He has no wife, no kids, no money, and no prospects. If things keep going this way, pretty soon he won't even have a roof over his head. So when his old friend (and PAX legend) Ryder O'Neal shows up one afternoon and asks for five years of his life, Max figures he has nothing to lose.

Kelly Madison has spent most of her life bailing her ne'er-do-well superstar father out of trouble. This time, however, Sean Ryan has unwittingly become involved in a terrorist plot that threatens millions of innocent people.

PAX has waited five years to bring down the terrorists. Max, in his alias as a Brazilian billionaire, must get close to Kelly so she can lead the ultra-secret organization to her missing father, who just may be their last best hope to prevent a global tragedy.

But not even that PAX figured on Max and Kelly falling in love -- or falling deeper into the kind of danger that could bring the world to its knees.
