I'm, unfortunately, in one of those mixed marriages, too! Bless his heart, he tried early on in our relationship to read a sci fi book he'd picked out so we could share a hobby, but he is legally blind in one eye and stares at a computer screen all day... He's so eye-weary by the end of a work day! That was before I had e-readers, but he'd rather watch/listen to a sci fi show now than read a story. I've picked up a few Baen bundles and some official Star Trek books that I'm going to try to get him to look at on his ipad.
I picked up a few recent Harlequin Historical bundles with that 90% off code! I still had (and have!) some $$ on a Kobo card from Swagbucks so I am quite pleased with myself. :P
The 75% of code didn't work when I tried it just now-- was it an older code that I might have used before? Drat. Wish I'd just plowed on and picked up the last few bundles. I didn't think I'd read the books in the second monthly bundle, so I hesitated. I still have lots of new reading material though so, yay!
