Get the WS Deal on this Literary Fiction for $5.98. Get the Audio Alone for $21.95.
By "audio alone," I mean, of course, at Audible.
I'm sure that there is here some hype and from a reviewer who does not hold the average American values and sensitivities, but The New York Times Book Review says that the book is "As close to flawless as any reader could ask for." In case you are not familiar with this book (as I wasn't until I was preparing this post), it apparently is very graphic and gut wrenching, at least at points. If you are bothered by such things and/or unfamiliar with the book, I especially suggest that you read some of the preview and some of the reviews before purchasing it. Title: Bastard Out of Carolina: A Novel. Genre: Fiction (Literary Fiction). Author(s): Dorothy Allison. Price: $5.98 ($1.99 ebook (marked down) + $3.99 Whispersync audio). Regular Price of Audio, by Itself, at Audible: $21.95. Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews: 4.4 stars/323 reviews (Amazon). Audio Rating/Number of Ratings: 4.4/376 ratings. Pages/Audio Length: 326/11 hours and 17 minutes. Narrator(s): Elizabeth Evans. Audible URL: http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Ba...ok/B00A6GK9UE/. Amazon URL (you can get the whole Whispersync deal here): https://www.amazon.com/Bastard-Out-C.../dp/B001R9DHP8. Comments: The book/ebook is the #1 seller in three categories in the regular Amazon bookstore and the Kindle bookstore. Book Description (Amazon): The publication of Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina was a landmark event. The novel's profound portrait of family dynamics in the rural South won the author a National Book Award nomination and launched her into the literary spotlight. Critics have likened Allison to William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Harper Lee, naming her the first writer of her generation to dramatize the lives and language of poor whites in the South. Since its appearance, the novel has inspired an award-winning film and has been banned from libraries and classrooms, championed by fans, and defended by critics. Greenville County, South Carolina, is a wild, lush place that is home to the Boatwright family-a tight-knit clan of rough-hewn, hard- drinking men who shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who get married young and age too quickly. At the heart of this story is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly keen perspective. When her stepfather Daddy Glen, "cold as death, mean as a snake," becomes increasingly more vicious toward her, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that tests the loyalty of her mother, Anney-and leads to a final, harrowing encounter from which there can be no turning back. Now available in a twentieth anniversary keepsake edition with a new afterword by the author. |

Sorry, don't have time but to give you the basics . . . .
WS Deal on The Life We Bury (psychological thriller) by Allen Eskens--$6.48. Versus Audbile $21.95 for audio. There are 3,637 reviews, so I'm hoping enough people are familiar with it/the author to check into it. 4.4 stars. |

[ @GtrsRGr8 You might want to pay attention to the Black Friday deal thread. Last year I got a no-contract (and no SIM card) Android phone for $10. Just for listening to audible books on. ]

I said that the phone didn't recognize the 32 gb memory card that I installed. Actually, the phone does recognize that the 32 gb has been added, but it won't use any of it for some reason. The first, and only so far, call to LG tech support was not helpful. I may end up doing what you suggested. The phone's good for nothing now but being a paperweight. Thanks. |

The Glorious Ones by Francine Prose is on sale for $1.99 and the audiobook is $3.99.
The Glorious Ones are an unlikely troupe—there’s Armanda, the cheerful dwarf and ex-nun; chattering Columbina; Pantalone the miser; and the wicked Brighella; all led by Flaminio Scala, the self-proclaimed most courageous man in Christendom. They travel up and down seventeenth-century Italy, performing in palaces and poor villages alike. For all their wild differences, not one of them is prepared for the arrival of the mysterious Isabella, their new boss. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=ebbnwslttr-20 I found this to be a fun little short novel with a wicked and sly sense of humor. If you check your local Public Library you may be able to check out the book to save $1.99. Both Brooklyn and New York City have the book. |
