Great code, but I'm starting to have trouble finding anything I want to buy that's couponable. They still haven't fixed the book I had problems buying two weeks ago so I can finally buy it.

Ok, I like the blurb, I can overlook the fanfic issue since I don't follow those actors anway. And its a nice fantasy with the famous actor in books.
But I am worried about some of the reviews saying it doesn't have an ending. Is this a cliffhanger book? Do you know?

eta: Looks like it is, the next is up the end of November. If I knew for sure that was the end of it, part 2, I might risk it. Author calls it a sequel, but that doesn't mean anything anymore. Its really sad for me that I can't just buy a book anymore and have to look if its a serial, a cliffhanger, or whatever.

I would have easily hit my one click button had it been a one off. Now I have to think about it.

I know a bunch of you are fans of The Last Hour of Gann (haven't read it yet). It's the Dear Author book club book this month and Jane has posted an interview of sorts with R. Lee Smith that I thought might be of interest to some of you...

Kindle bargain. I'm glad I read today's Bookbub email that listed this one before I squandered my 80% kobo code because it was on the short list.

Sleep With the Lights On (Brown & DeLuca #1) by Maggie Shayne - $0.99

edit: it's also $0.99 at Harlequin

Through the eyes of a killer…

Rachel de Luca has found incredible success writing self-help books. But her own blindness and the fact that her troubled brother has gone missing have convinced her that positive thinking is nothing but bull.

Her cynicism wavers when a cornea transplant restores her sight. The new eyes seem to give her new life, until they prove too good to be true and she starts seeing terrifying visions of brutal murders—crimes she soon learns are all too real.

Detective Mason Brown's own brother recently died, leaving behind a horrific secret. In atonement, Mason donated his brother's organs, though he's kept the fact quiet. Now he wants to help Rachel find her brother, but when he discovers the shocking connection between her visions and his own brother, he suddenly has to do everything in his power to save her from a predator who is somehow still hunting from beyond the grave.

And next in the series a free novella . . .

Dream of Danger (Brown & DeLuca #1.5) by Maggie Shayne

She didn't want to need him.

Murder brought self-help guru Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown together. Their shared secrets drove them apart. But now they're together again in this riveting novella that begins where New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne's Sleep with the Lights On ended.

She may have been blind for twenty years, but Rachel's always had an uncanny gift for seeing through people—and she distrusts her assistant's new boyfriend at first sight. Amy isn't interested in Rachel's misgivings, though. She's too eager to celebrate Thanksgiving by introducing her family to the new man in her life.

Then Amy doesn't show up for the holiday….

Desperate to find her missing friend, Rachel has no choice but to turn to Mason. Their investigation into Amy's disappearance takes them ever deeper into danger—and reignites the attraction that they've both sworn to resist. Now it's a race against time as these reluctant partners fight to stave off passion and save a life.

Thank you for the coupon code, Library addict. I bought Maya Bank's latest with it. Yes, it is a Penguin novel. You should move to Sweden. It gets a bit cold, and dark, during the winter, though. .

I'm pretty much the opposite, don't really care at all for Christmas music but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Billy Squier's Christmas song - Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You.

One of the books I got today came up with a 5 stars rating when I added it to Calibre. I've had some really odd tags before, but never a "pre-rated" book
