The holiday novella from last year, Oh, Come All Ye Dragons, is free right now, and through Dec 26, per the author's post. Not sure whose Dec 26 time zone though, so I'd grab it soon...

Oh, and then I also just noticed that Inborn Magic, which is the first in McDougall's Hidden Coven series, is also free right now, but somewhat oddly, it's only free at Kindle US, and not Kindle UK...

And, while we're on serials , Ilona Andrews have started a "short story" serial that will be coming out every Friday for a while. Their "short stories" often tend to become "novellas", though, and their "novellas" tend to become "books", so I have my fingers crossed for this to be longer than planned...
Anyway, it's titled Sanctuary, and (very minor spoiler, resolved in the first few paragraphs) it features Roman, the priest of the dark god, Chernobog, from the Kate Daniels series. (Although Roman is a fan-favorite, I'd kind of been hoping for the rest of the Augustine-Diana story from the Hidden Legacy world, which was teased in a snippet not too long ago. But Roman is good too.) The first chapter was out last Friday, and can be found here: https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/sanctuary/ |

Two Mary Stewart books are on sale right now. Per eReaderIQ, Rose Cottage dropped at the beginning of the month, so guessing it's part of the monthly deal, and going back up soon. The Ivy Tree just dropped, in the US only so far. It's been a while since either was posted, so here they are....

If you missed them when they were free individually at the beginning of the year, there's a box set of Annabel Chase's Spellbound romance/mystery series on sale for $0.99/£0.99 at Kindle US/UK right now. Not technically free, but pretty darn close.
The included titles are:

What were your favorite reads of 2023?
Impossible for me to pick just one book or even one series as so much depends on my mood. Not all of these were new releases as I regularly read a lot of backlist. So as usual I only limited myself to books read this calendar year. alphabetically by author, then by release date: Small Town, Big Magic by Hazel Beck Sept 2022 (Witchlore #1) Knight Protector by Lindsay Buroker July 2019 (Tales from the Star Kingdom #1) Planet Killer by Lindsay Buroker Nov 2019 (Star Kingdom #6) Home Front by Lindsay Buroker Apr 2020 (Star Kingdom #7) Layers of Force by Lindsay Buroker Sept 2020 (Star Kingdom #8) Tested by Lindsay Buroker Jan 2023 (Legacy of Magic #4) Wrenched by Lindsay Buroker Feb 2023 (Legacy of Magic #5) Fused by Lindsay Buroker Apr 2023 (Legacy of Magic #6) Wanted by Lindsay Buroker June 2023 (Legacy of Magic #7) Cursed by Lindsay Buroker July 2023 (Legacy of Magic #8) The House on Mulberry Street by Jeannie Chin Mar 2023 (Blue Cedar Falls #3) Clandestine Baby by Nicole Helm Sept 2023 (Covert Cowboy Soldiers #6) The Girl in the Hard Hat by Loretta Hill Jan 2013 (Pilbara/Barnes Inc #2) Practically Wicked by Alissa Johnson Oct 2012 (Haverston Family #3) A Talent for Trickery by Alissa Johnson Nov 2015 (Thief Takers #1) A Gift for Guile by Alissa Johnson July 2016 (Thief Takers #2) Sleep No More by Jayne Ann Krentz Jan 2023 (The Lost Night Files #1) Sagitta by Ruby Lionsdrake July 2017 (Star Guardians #3) Ariston by Ruby Lionsdrake Oct 2017 (Star Guardians #6) Beastly Kingdom by Leslye Penelope (as L Penelope) Apr 2023 (The Bliss Wars #2) The Bride Wore White by Amanda Quick May 2023 (Burning Cove #7) A Cattle Dog for Christmas * by Stella Quinn Oct 2023 Mysteries of Thorn Manor * by Margaret Rogerson Jan 2023 (Thorn Manor #1.5) Hold Your Breath by Katie Ruggle Apr 2016 (Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue #1) Gone Too Deep by Katie Ruggle Aug 2016 (Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue #3) After the End * by Katie Ruggle Apr 2017 (Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue #4.5) Falling for His Fake Girlfriend by Shannon Stacey Jan 2023 (Sutton's Place #4) Her Younger Man by Shannon Stacey Aug 2023 (Sutton's Place #5) * indicates novella Only my five star reads for the year are listed here, though there were also a few I rated as B+ I could also consider favorites. ~~~ My main reading goal for the year was to finish Lindsay Buroker’s backlist (including her Ruby Lionsdrake titles). I had 26 titles to go at the start of 2024 plus she added another 12 during the year—including 4 short stories—but I did it. I also finished up the backlists for Meg Benjamin (5 + 3 new releases), Alissa Callen (7 plus + 2 new releases), and Alissa Johnson (4 books, she sadly seems to have stopped publishing). Plus I managed to remain current on my other favorite/autobuy authors. I also read Katie Ruggle’s entire backlist (14). This year I will hopefully finish up that last of the “big backlist” authors I have. Should have done that this year, but I decided to add the books written under pseudonyms for two fave authors. (Well, except for some authors who I bought a ton of books by during that 5¢ sale Harlequin had years ago but not sure I will ever actually read all of those as I don’t consider them favorite authors and didn’t even at the rime. I went looney during that sale LOL.) Looking at Mount TBR, I do own a bunch of Toni Anderson and Michelle Diener books I may get to someday, but they aren’t on my autobuy list. I first started this catch up on all by x author goal in 2017 so it has worked well for me. |
