Free Book (Kindle/Nook/Kobo/Sony) - Skipped Parts

koland · 03-28-2011, 09:36 PM

Update: As predicted, this one is free in for US Kindle customers now, not just those in the UK. I've edited the info below to show the current status.

Skipped Parts, by Tim Sandlin, is free in both the US and UK Kindle stores, courtesy of publishers Sourcebooks. UK link

Book Description
Banished to the hinterlands of Wyoming, rebellious Lydia Callahan and her thirteen-year-old son Sam have no choice but to cope. But while Lydia drinks and talks to the moose head on the wall, Sam finds a friend in local girl Maurey Pierce.

One of the wildest, raunchiest, most heartfelt coming-of-age novels of the past thirty years, Skipped Parts puts Tim Sandlin in the upper echelon of contemporary comic novelists.

Skipped Parts is now free at the US Kindle store

Now free @ B&N, Sony (available to Canadians), Kobo, and presumably Borders by extension. Also in ADE PDF and ePub direct from publisher for US & territories.

Thanks! This looks interesting.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a good read!!

This is once again free @ Amazon UK and will show up in the other stores as Sourcebooks' website says this will be on promo until Dec 12th.

Incidentally, Social Blunders, another novel by Sandlin, is going for a mere $2.69 CAD at Kobo (presumably comparably priced for US persons), and you can use one of the 35% off discount coupons in this thread to take it down even further.

ETA: SB is apparently another novel in the "Grovont Trilogy" that SP is the 1st of, and for Canadian Kindlers, at least, Sorrow Floats, the other book, is a mere $1.64 at Amazon.

Just picked it up for FREE at Barnes & Noble. Link above still works on Post 3 by ATDrake

The proper order is Skipped Parts, Sorrow Floats, then Social Blunders (if you want to read them in order). There is a new book, Lydia, that came out last April (this is the 4th).

I read the first 2; they're really good.

Free from Sony again as well.

If this follows the same pattern as others from this publisher, it'll be free for US and other customers in a few hours (after midnight in Seattle, at the earliest, is my guess) Last edited by koland; 03-29-2011 at 10:01 AM.
