Dr. Drib · 10-17-2009, 04:22 PM

I just bought this one for my Kindle for .99 cents:

Sleepwalker: The Last Sandman by Brad Marlowe - $0.99 [Modern Fantasy]

This one looks REALLY good.

Just bought my first Amazon/Kindle book: A Few Short Notes on Tropical Butterflies - John Murray don't know him, but the book (of short stories) is highly rated and the sample seems up my reading alley...

Just did a search on this at Inkmesh and it comes up saying $99.00

but you click through to amazon and it's as you say.

This was a mistake at Amazon. I read something that the author wrote about this mistake. Apprently, Inkmesh has not updated its database.

I bought "The Road" from Audible, and listened to it as an Audible book -it was wonderful.

I've read both of Larsson's "Millennium" novels that have been released in the U.S. and I must say that I like the first one much better than the second (not that the second one was bad).

I'm currently reading "Blood's A Rover" by James Ellroy (one of my all-time favorite authors), unfortunately it does not appear to be available in electronic format so it's my first DTB since I bought my 505. On the ebook front I'm reading "On Basilisk Station" which I picked up from the wonderful Baen Free Library.

I just bought "The Third Reich in Power" by Richard J. Evans from the Sony Store, the second in his trilogy about the history of Nazi Germany. It seems to have lots of great reviews, and I want to learn more about, and try to understand this terrible period in human history. I just finished reading Bram Stoker's "Dracula", also bought from the Sony Store (I know I could have got it for free, but I wanted the formatting). Man, that's depressing; I think I need to lighten up

Speaking of which...does anyone know where I can get "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" as an ebook? Thanks!

Raymond Khoury - Last Templar. Saw it during last visit to mall. Local bookstore sells it for approx USD 50 :P Bought it at Amazon for USD 9.99 thanks to proxy

You're right - we haven't. This is quite embarrassing

Will be updating all Amazon prices in the next couple of days.

I seem to have rather plebeian tastes in my reading. My most recent purchase was by Dan Brown The Lost Symbol

I enjoyed it even when it occasionally seemed to be overly contrived. $9.99 from Sony.

So many books, so little time.

I refuse to buy eBooks in a series when the complete series is not available. By doing so, you just lend credence to the publishers that it is OK to release incomplete series in eBook form. I suggest you return these because Sue Grafton and Jonne Fluke do not have complete series available.

I did purchase Pursuit of Honor by Vince Flynn for my wife. I do plan on reading the Vince Flynn books. She thinks I'll enjoy them.

benham · 10-19-2009, 02:16 PM

Mitch Rapp is one of my favorites and all of Vince Flynn's are available on e-book. I am almost done with Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly and then Pursuit Of Honor is next.

rebarnmom · 10-19-2009, 02:28 PM

I just bought (and read) "Love & Respect" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs for a study my women's group from church are doing. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling in their marriage relationship or significant other!

I also bought "Pendragon: The Never War" for fun reading! Sony gave out the first in the series free and I've purchased the 2nd & 3rd since! Good marketing strategy on their part!

kelly1010 · 10-19-2009, 06:52 PM

I think I am going to buy the Women's Sleuth Bundle from Sony. My library has alot of both series in ebook form. And I can't resist that price...Thats $1.89 per book!!
