Even if only one person benefits from a promo, it's well worth posting.

So, I appreciate the effort

Got mine even though I returned the Fire Tablet I bought over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Thank You Amazon.

$1.99 -- My Sister Rosa -- Justine Larbalestier/ David Linski --> 12.7 hrs --> YA mental issues

A 2016 Publishers Weekly Best Books of the Year for Young Adults
A Kirkus Reviews Pick for Best Teen Books of 2016
A Shelf Awareness Best Book of 2016

What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister?

Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister Rosa. But he’s also certain that she’s a diagnosable psychopath—clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he’s the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the violence she’s capable of.

Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa’s “acting out.” Now that they have moved again—from Bangkok to New York City—their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Alone, Che must balance his desire to protect Rosa from the world with the desperate need to protect the world from her.

$3.95 -- Christmas Days -- J Winterson/ J Winterson, et al --> 9.2 hrs --> Christmas anthology

Christmas Days: Twelve Stories

For years Jeanette Winterson has loved writing a new story at Christmastime, and here she brings together twelve of her brilliantly imaginative, funny, and bold tales. For the Twelve Days of Christmas—a time of celebration, sharing, and giving—she offers these twelve plus one: a personal story of her own Christmas memories.

These tales open a portal into the spirit of the season, when time slows down and magic starts to happen. From trees with mysterious powers to a tinsel baby that talks, philosophical fairies to flying dogs, a haunted house to a disappearing train, Winterson’s innovative stories encompass the childlike and spooky wonder of Christmas, perfect for listening to by the fire with loved ones or while traveling home for the holidays.

Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill, mystery, and a little bit of magic courtesy of one of our most fearless and accomplished writers.

Thank you for your remark.

I think that it is a good book on the apostle Paul. Books about him could be (and often are) very dry, but this one isn't. It keeps your interest.
