A little self-improvement might be good for a lot of people. Uh hem . . . even, dare I say it, some MobileReaders.

Of course, I'm not talking about you. Although it does bother me that the proportion of non-fiction audiobooks that you post is very small compared to the fiction audiobooks that you post. I know that it's all your fault.

It won't for me.
I called PRH support, but haven't heard back yet.

There are extraneous characters in the download link. Erase the %20 and the link will work.

Celebrate Earth Day with a free download of Walden!

You can get the freebie here. Long-time MobileRead'ers will likely already have this title in their library, as it has been free from Tantor a couple of times, most recently in 2013. It's not likely to last past the weekend so if you're interested don't delay.

Enjoy!

Carson, a retired judge, is living his lifelong dream of traveling across the U.S. in his RV. When their paths cross in the tranquil setting of Mason Springs, New Mexico, love is the last thing that either of them expects to find.

When this mismatched pair comes together they find themselves in some hilarious and even precarious situations. As the romance begins to blossom they face many obstacles that threaten to tear them apart, and what Maggie discovers about herself in New Mexico will redefine her future and alienate one of her children.

Will Carson and Maggie’s love for one another be strong enough to weather the storms or will their love for their children keep them apart?

I admit by bias toward fiction; esp sci-fi and adventure. I'm trying to add more non-fiction, but it's hard to remember genres I'm not too keen on.

Ya know, I was just gonna suggest that you continue to add more non-fiction; but then, I see this fiction offer from you. WWT? LOL

I really didn't notice that you had a bias toward fiction, I just assumed that you posted more of them because there is so much more fiction out there than non-fiction. Or, at least, so it seems. Or, maybe those just get promoted more.

I'll have to claim that it is because of bad influences, running with the wrong crowd, etc.

On the WS deals, I've always tried to vary the genres & subgenres as much as possible. Otherwise, it's mainly nonfiction the other times.

Whispersync: no deals at this time

A startling, seductive, deliciously dark debut that will shatter your definition of YA fantasy.

Sixteen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. Although she's engaged to the prince, no one speaks to her. No one even looks at her. Because Twylla isn't a member of the court. She's the executioner.

Goddess-embodied Twylla kills with a single touch. So each week she's taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love her. Who could care for a girl with murder in her veins? Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to her touch, avoids her.

Then a new guard arrives--a boy whose playful smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he's able to look past Twylla's executioner robes and see the girl, not the goddess. Yet a treasonous romance is the least of Twylla's problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies--a plan that requires an unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?

Deliriously Happy: and Other Bad Thoughts

From Dave Barry to Tom Perrotta, from New York magazine to Weekend Today, the word ubiquitously associated with Larry Doyle is "hilarious." Following the success of his popular novels Go, Mutants! and I Love You, Beth Cooper, Doyle returns with a collection of short works for fans who just want the satire, wit, merciless humor (and occasional glimmer of tenderness) straight, no chaser. Doyle has written on everything, from childhood to evil genius, pets to parenthood, Mark Twain to Twitter, and it's all here, including favorites from the "Shouts and Murmurs" column in The New Yorker, classics from Esquire and National Lampoon, as well as more than a dozen never-before-published pieces.
