The 50% discount is off the full price of the books, not off the already discounted prices that Harlequin usually sells at (10% or 20% off). I just bought a bunch and had no technical difficulties so, hopefully, you can get yours without any trouble now too.

Yes, I see they count the existing discounts as part of it. But it still won't work for me, so I have saved $7.99 by buying nothing at all!

From Sourcebooks:

The Officer Says "I Do" by Jeanette Murray $0.99

http://www.amazon.com/Officer-Semper...eanette+Murray

Scrumptious by Amanda Usen $0.99

http://www.amazon.com/Scrumptious-eb...us+Amanda+Usen

Also, UF and PNR from Avon:

Tarnished: The St. Croix Chronicles and Blood of the Wicked by Karina Cooper $0.99

http://www.amazon.com/Tarnished-St-C...+Karina+Cooper
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...arauthorcom-20

3 of these were on my wish list, so along with the Harlequin sale, it looks like it will be a busy book purchases day.

I just saw the coupon at Dear Author, and I'm excited because I held my December HQN purchases because I was waiting for the 50% off coupon. I only wish Mills and Boon had the same sale!

I also picked up Roberta Gellis' The Rope Dancer for 79 cents at Sourcebooks.

Anyway, here's the haul for $75.35 altogether. Lots of Christmas books among them!

McBride, Jule: Hitched by Christmas.

I was so bummed that this wont be released in time for Christmas! Usually they let it be bought at their site a month earlier than the street date but suddenly not on the special releases.

I love her Christmas stories and have bought and read all of them cept one I plan to read this month The Baby & the Bodyguard that one was released in July and I grabbed it the other day.

Two more from Sourcebooks at $0.99:

The Wild Irish Sea by Loucinda McGary - romantic suspense

Taste Me by Tamara Hogan - UF/PNR

I've never had a problem logging in even after mine expired. I've renewed now but I spent my credits before my membership lapse.

Well, I guess I didn't understand that when they said if I didn't like their selections I could use the credit another month, that that "another month" had to be a month of membership, because it was the last month of my membership that I didn't like any of their selections.

Oh, well, I am not going to subscribe to these things anymore because they are always full of gotchas and I ended up buying a lot of books I wasn't really interested in.

Thats what I did. Thanks for the suggestion! They have the next book in the Olivia Cunning series I liked.

I would email support I am sure they will allow you use your expired credits because you wasn't aware they expire.

I hope so too

This Cunning book is the first one of theirs I've been interested in for a while.

It's 3rd in the series.

The first two they gave away when they came out so you may have them.

I bought 24 books at the Harlequin sale today. I still have some on my wish list there, but got the ones I really wanted. I still have lots left over to read from the $4 off sale last year, so I tried to behave (not to mention I had quite the shopping spree at ARe on Cyber Monday).

I still wish they would release more treasury titles. Or of the rights have reverted that the authors would release them.
