The Mozart Murders by Loucinda McGary. This one appears to be self-published, but the author has written for Sourcebooks.

A serial killer is stalking the donors of the San Francisco Philharmonic and it is up to police detective Phillipa 'Flip' Morland to stop him. With her partner in the hospital, Flip must team up with classical musician Professor Jeremy Burke to catch the madman they've dubbed 'Amadeus' for his penchant of playing Mozart while he commits his brutal crimes.

N/A Freebie: After Math - Denise Grover Swank
About: USA TODAY Bestseller

Scarlett Goodwin’s world is divided into Before and After.

Before she agreed to tutor Tucker Price, college junior Scarlett was introvert, struggling with her social anxiety disorder and determined to not end up living in a trailer park like her mother and her younger sister. A mathematics major, she goes to her classes, to her job in the tutoring lab, and then hides in the apartment she shares with her friend, Caroline.

After junior Tucker Price, Southern University’s star soccer player enters the equation, her carefully plotted life is thrown off its axis. Tucker’s failing his required College Algebra class. With his eligibility is at risk, the university chancellor dangles an expensive piece of computer software for the math department if Scarlett agrees to privately tutor him. Tucker’s bad boy, womanizer reputation makes Scarlett wary of any contact, let alone spending several hours a week in close proximity.

But from her first encounter, she realizes Tucker isn’t the person everyone else sees. He carries a mountain of secrets which she suspects hold the reason to his self-destructive behavior. But the deeper she delves into the cause of his pain, the deeper she gets sucked into his chaos. Will Scarlett find the happiness she’s looking for, or will she be caught in Tucker’s aftermath?

Amazon has Sarah Wendell's (the SBTB lady) Everything I Know about Love I Learned from Romance Novels for $2.99 (it's been ~$10). I've been waiting for the price to drop on this for ages. It's also free for any KU'ers amongst us.

Did you guys see we are sticky now? Very cool! I like the new format in the deals section.

I'll have to click and see. My bookmark for the forum is for new posts... I never go in to the mainpage.

I couldn't find the thread and then saw we were a sticky (along with the other genre threads for the month). Very cool.

Same here I seldom check out the full forum but we are stickied now along with other posts. I like the new format. It makes finding things easier if I was looking for a non romance book.

If you guys haven't check the Kobo codes thread it appears that used contest codes are working once (with multi-tabbing) per account.

This 75% code 43HQ8T has been reported to work for several folks so if you've got an any purchases that don't require travel then best get to it.

Does anybody have a subscription to Starz? Are previous episodes of a series available for viewing OnDemand or online throughout the series?

Used it for one book because I wasn't thinking.

Just FYI, the new contest codes only work in new checkout. They don't work in old checkout at all.

There are numerous series available to watch in the Starz folder on demand (I have Comcast). I only saw one that had multiple seasons available, but I didn't look in all the folders and several of their series are new so would only have one season so far anyway.

I'm only interested in Outlander and am contemplating a mid-season subscription to Starz (we have FiOS), and cancelling when the season is over. The free first ep whet my appetite for mohr JAMMF (Jamie)!

Yes all of the episodes which have aired so far show as available until 6/15/2016. There's also an extras folder with some behind-the-scenes stuff and interviews.
