Fictionwise 60% off sale 15/16 October 2011 - Page 2

Whoohoo! I had a big cart, so this is great. @Mikaelind, these are weekly coupons, and they're 'normally' good until Wednesday, even though they''ll tell you they expire earlier. No guarantees, of course...

Unless they were already on your wish list. But even then, I urge restraint for any members of the addicts thread.

There will almost certainly be another 60% off sale before the end of the year.

I can resist because I'm broke!

oh noes!

Resisting is getting easier these days! I'm doing a TBR decimation challenge on Goodreads, and I have to read 5 of my bought books before I can buy 1 new book. I started Aug 1 and promptly derailed when I bought the 32 Georgette Heyer books

But I've been very good since then - I only bought one book in September that was a deal too good to pass up, and one book so far for October, which was the next book in an ongoing series I'm currently reading.

July was the last time I bought a book from Fictionwise - that's seems sooo long ago

These days my hoarding is restricted to free books

I'm not a member, merely an occasional commentator. I don't have a problem; hoarding is perfectly natural behaviour for dragons.

And I shall be making use of this weekend's coupon to additionally pick up first-in-series/sample author test titles of untried historical mysteries from Belgrave House which are not available in the public library's e-collection, which seems to have gotten their Regency romance reprints instead.

At $5 a pop regularly and DRM-free, if it works out these will be a pretty good deal at less than $2.50 and still DRM-free after coupon for previously printed backlist books from publishers like Kensington (and Harlequin, for the romance readers).

And I will be Supporting A DRM-Free Publisher Which Reprints Nice Books That I Can Get Dirt-Cheap When Fictionwise Offers Coupons Which Will Encourage Them To Offer More Nice Books And More Coupons, so win-win!

Resist and the world will be a better place.

ATDrake · 10-15-2011, 10:41 PM

Actually, it'll be a slightly worse off place, because then who'll be buying the DRM-free MultiFormat books and thus showing that there's a viable market for non-self-published stuff not locked to any particular device?

That's an excuse. Just resist.

ATDrake · 10-15-2011, 10:49 PM

Sorry, no. I know what I want and I shall be buying it shortly to read and see if I want to buy any more of it to read later.

Resistance is futile. I will be assimilating.
