Here's a low-to-high author name ePub-only sorted linkage for Kobo (12 titles at the sale price for Canadians) and one for Amazon main as well, to save people some typing.

Thanks, I didn't have time for all the links last night.
I'm only familiar with The Alchemist, which I read and liked, despite the religious overtones. I had a quick look at the descriptions of these books this morning and one clicked The Devil and Miss Prym, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, Eleven Minutes, and The Witch of Portobello. *skips off to arcadata's thread to see what else went on sale overnight* Last edited by Synamon; 05-01-2012 at 09:21 AM. |

The only Coelho I've read is The Winner Stands Alone, and it was oddly fascinating. At this price, it's definitely worth a look.

I'd been waffling on By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, but grabbed it when I found out that is the first book of the series called And on the Seventh Day since I'd already bought the other two books in the series (Veronika Decides to Die and The Devil and Miss Prym).
I'm still thinking on a couple of others and for $0.99 I should probably just buy them. Also, I'm now craving waffles with maple syrup. |

You can find the $0.99 prices for the US and Canada at all the ebookstores now.
Here is a link Wetdogeared posted this morning from Paulo Coelho's blog about this price reduction on his books. Quote:

I like Coelho's attitude. I have a freebie promo copy of The Alchemist from the now-defunct Borders store Brida from Kobo, actually.
I think I'll read it and if I like his prose, scoop his sale books for which the blurbs and samples read well to help prove his point to his publishers. Or maybe just scoop the lot, since it'll work out to less than $15 CAD and I spend about that much on late-night discount sushi anyway. Last edited by ATDrake; 05-03-2012 at 11:58 AM. Reason: Wrong book by different author, but it turns out I have a backup readthrough option. |

I always thought these books looked interesting, and the price is just right--I bought 5 of 'em.

I've never read his work, but I certainly love his attitude! Which books would you recommend? Top 3?
Thanks for your help. |
