Thanks for that list. I keep bookmarks in a file that I named "Check these FREQUENTLY," and they mainly consist of this type of publisher. But I didn't have the Amazon webpages bookmarked of several of those that you listed.

Daniel Handler's novel Adverbs is $1.99 at various retailers including Amazon.

Quote:

Hello.

I am Daniel Handler, the author of this book. Did you know that authors often write the summaries that appear on their book's dust jacket? You might want to think about that the next time you read something like, "A dazzling page-turner, this novel shows an internationally acclaimed storyteller at the height of his astonishing powers."

Adverbs is a novel about love -- a bunch of different people, in and out of different kinds of love. At the start of the novel, Andrea is in love with David -- or maybe it's Joe -- who instead falls in love with Peter in a taxi. At the end of the novel, it's Joe who's in the taxi, falling in love with Andrea, although it might not be Andrea, or in any case it might not be the same Andrea, as Andrea is a very common name. So is Allison, who is married to Adrian in the middle of the novel, although in the middle of the ocean she considers a fling with Keith and also with Steve, whom she meets in an automobile, unless it's not the same Allison who meets the Snow Queen in a casino, or the same Steve who meets Eddie in the middle of the forest. . . .

It might sound confusing, but that's love, and as the author -- me -- says, "It is not the nouns. The miracle is the adverbs, the way things are done." This novel is about people trying to find love in the ways it is done before the volcano erupts and the miracle ends. Yes, there's a volcano in the novel. In my opinion a volcano automatically makes a story more interesting.

Well, that's one of the most interesting summaries I've read in a while... not much of a romance guy, but it's almost worth $2 for that summary.

The 73% markdown is calculated from the regular digital price.

I'm not a fictionista, and I'm not much of a movie watcher either. But if I'm not terribly mistaken, the newly released (I saw it just yesterday on the signboard of one of the local theaters here, in fact) movie Paper Towns is based on this book.

Maybe the publisher and/or Amazon has dropped the price as a way of drumming up business for the movie. I don't know. But, regardless, this is a good deal on this highly ranked book.

Oh, I may not get this posted on the "Audiobooks" thread, but the price drop on the ebook has made for a fantastic Whispersync deal. Right now, you can get the ebook, audiobook, and Whispersync benefits for only $4.98! My advice: forget the movie, just get the Whispersync deal and listen to the movie over and over as many times as you would like to. Think of it--you can have it for less than the usual price (perhaps not matinees, et al.) of admission one time to the theater. Oh, and your popcorn and soda are probably cheaper at home, too. Follow the link below to get the whole deal, as well as just the ebook only.

Paper Towns. By John Green. Rated 4.2 stars, from 3,594 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $9.99; regular digital price $3.69; Kindle price now $0.99. Speak, publisher. 321 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Towns-Jo...N%3DB001ANSS5K.

Endeavour Press, through Twitter, is offering a more-or-less free copy of the new edition of the historical novel, Her Privates We, by Frederic Manning.

I say "more-or-less" because 1) I feel sure that you will need to have an account with Twitter, and 2) you will have to sign up for Endeavour's newsletter to get it. The newsletter is unobtrusive and desirable, however. You get, once a week, I think that it is, a list of quality ebooks marked down to free and insanely cheap (99p U.K., 99 cents U.S.).

Here's a blurb about the book:
Her Privates We is as much a triumph of realism as it is of the imagination. Readers of both military history, and literary fiction, will continue to be haunted by its prose and insights. A new edition of a classic First World War novel, a brilliant and bitter picture of human conflict.
The finest and noblest book of men in war. –Ernest Hemingway

Here's where you can go to get the free ebook.

I bought this at once, given the author.

The King's Road by Cecelia Holland

`The King's Road' is a thrilling historical adventure, set in Medieval Sicily.

The thirteenth century, Federigo, the young, orphaned King of Sicily, is reluctantly preparing for an evening at court.

Surrounded by ambitious noblemen, the Pope, and his strict regent Diepold, Federigo grows tired of the malicious intent and whisperings of old men.
He finds solace in the company of his motley crew of bad boys, Durante and Yusuf - street-fighters unfit to play with the son of the German Emperor.
Returning to the palace of Al-Aziz with a bloodied eye, Federigo is met by his furious regent.

Cecelia Holland is widely acknowledged as one of the finest historical novelists of our time. She is the author of more than thirty novels, including `Hammer For Princes' and `Ghost on the Steppe'.

Before the Dawn of Human Kind, the Druids walked on our lands constantly trying to find the perfect balance with the forces of nature. Fairies, spirits and leprechauns were among those untamed forces.
