Why are they making it so difficult to just link to a book? 😭
I don't know how to fix that.

I think it's interesting as you may inadvertently found a way to have a generic link that redirect to the appropriate country site instead of just to .com. I'll investigate.


Here's a thread with examples for testing and discussion:

Also Barnes & Noble. Thank you!

Now £0.99 in the UK. The Kindle UK link is still good, and here's a Kobo UK link: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/castle-shade-3

Oh, and discountable at Kobo UK...

I had a review copy of this book, and loved it - especially the character of Queen Marie of Roumania, who was in real life (and in the book!) a granddaughter of Queen Victoria’s on her father’s side, and a granddaughter of Emperor Alexander II of Russia through her mother, and who managed by her astute politicking at the end of WWI to keep Roumania independent, and even increase its size. (And there's a good mystery too....)

Another big batch of Sister Fidelma books at £2.99 again - sadly many appear to be repeats of the earlier sale from a few months ago. I didn't check exhaustively, so if you want to take a look again, the links by price below are still good. Or, of course, if you missed this the first time through

I really really like this series, enough that I made my husband go to Cashel for the weekend a few years ago, when we had a business trip to Ireland. Even though the ruins left there now date from much later than Fidelma's time.

The sale books are kind of scattered throughout the series. Most of these books are $14 and up in the US and rarely go on sale. They are mostly usually £5.49 in the UK, which is way better than $14, but £2.99 is even better! The links pick up all the sale books, but may also pick up a stray or two.

Yer a Wizard, Harry! (or at least a soothsayer)

Are these edited versiona?

AGATHA CHRISTIE NOVELS EDITED TO REMOVE RACIST LANGUAGE

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture...age-1234704199

Several Agatha Christie novels have been edited to remove racist language. Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries written between 1920 and 1976 are among those with new editions with words and descriptions amended to strip them of offensive language, particularly passages that involve characters portrayed outside the U.K.

The original Amazon link to the Agatha Christie books works for me.

Works here in Ireland in the sense that it offers USA site (where I can't purchase from Amazon, but in theory could on Kobo).

Mysteriously the collection isn't available at all at any price from any seller in Ireland or UK.

It's now $70 on USA Kobo and Amazon!

[Byrdie]

$70? That's odd, I'm still seeing the $39.99 price here in Canada at both Amazon & Kobo. But then again, it was never on sale here, so maybe that's an error caused by them having to adjust the price for the sale and it just hasn't quite settled yet.

And free again, even a few more years on. Sigh, I'm getting old...

Link below is still good for Kindle US, and here's the UK link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMBASSADORS...dp/B006E8ZYPI/
