Too true, alas. My Kobo purchases (substantial) have been mostly histories, and the rest litfic. So why, why do they pitch romance titles to me? When I have never bought a romance book? I might actually buy an appealing history.

Weird time for them to do it, since that's at least double any of the contest codes I've received so far, but I'll take it!

Lucky me. I am driving to Canada tonight Thanks for sharing!

Interesting. The Cantwell book was listed for me once I finished typing "Monkeys". Before that it was suggesting a different book, Take the Monkey and Run (Monkey, singular) by a different author.

It's possible I didn't have the 's' because her book wasn't in the list at all. I did get frustrated and just started completely over and put the book and her name in.

Here it is without the associate code:

Then just look for your category and you should be able to find the books better.

And yes, they have too many romance/paranormal chests, etc.

Thanks for the link! Maybe if they have some buttons that says (minus romance), (minus sci-fi), (minus thriller) then I can look at what are left. Actually I like non-fiction, but then it's very rare they have such a category amongst the books they have on sale...

That made me laugh out loud. It's very hard to imagine such person exist. I mean, they must exist somewhere but I have yet to know any.

Wonderful code. Thanks for sharing. Bought a whole load of books by Jan Morris. I'm so happy!

[Amaryllis]

So happy for that Canadian sale code - more than a few books fell into my cart.
I do buy some romance novels, but they still somehow manage to suggest "romance" titles that I would never buy in a million years. I've been buying Kobo for a number of years and I think I have only once bought a book off one of those discounted "lists".
And I agree - the search feature on kobo is beyond ridiculous. But IMO the worst "marketing" they manage to do is when the titles in your "suggested" list are books you've already bought - from Kobo.

GET50SALE 50% multi-use in New Zealand until 30 October. Maybe elsewhere too?

The banner says select titles, but it seems to work on all discountable books.

Thanks. Added to the first post.

The GET50SALE banner is now up on the US site too. Woohoo!
