Probably a newb question but what's the slush pile
I can PM Me you some tips on Swagbucks.

The slush pile is another word for Kindle freebies. Each day I go wading through all the self published stuff trying to find quality stories to share here. It's more junk than anything. I believe slush pile is a publisher's term for a pile of submitted manuscripts. So it works in both cases.

Me giving up some of my book money for him to be able to relax while driving. It's okay because I've made $125 in Amazon Gift Cards from Swagbucks.

I imagine switching from Blogger to Wordpress was a chore. I've been using WP for years for my blogs and I still don't know everything there is to using it. I have had Database go bad several times so backup daily your blog if you don't already.


Now I'm off to check the slush pile. It hasn't been too good this month so far.
That is nice of you (but hopefully not too relaxing, while driving!). And it was something of a nightmare, especially when you discover your site is dead about 1AM. I do have auto-backups running nightly (which go to dropbox and my computer automatically).

Here's a freebie (sort of romance... but not entirely):

Sins of the Father, by Angela Benson, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble, courtesy of publisher HarperCollins.

Oh, OK...gotcha. I was wondering if I needed to bone up on my freebie stalking terms/skills to keep up with the Kids thread that I started but looks like I am doing the same thing for the most part

At a guess, they're price matching B&N's pre-order sale...

That would explain it. I went looking on the B&N site earlier to see if they were having some kind of sale since 50% since to be their big sale mark down and didn't see this.

Good to know! Now I know I have to jump now if I want a shot at these prices.

I sent you three PMs yes it's alot of info but I want to make sure you got them all.

The two feeds I use most of the slush pile are FreeReadFeed and DailyFreeBooks.com. I think they do a good job at weeding out the smut. Remember when I say smut I am not talking about the stuff posted on here. I am talking about stuff that is triple x rated. Yuck!
I do read Erotic Romance and will defend it any day.

Ooh, thanks for this! I have a few books I've been waiting for that are coming soon, and a quick check (I'm at work) tells me at least one of them is in the sale.

I haven't really posted deals here, mostly because I feel like everything I find is already old hat - or I guess I assume that. Which I shouldn't...so here are a couple I found today at Amazon

.99 Protecting Katie - H. D. Thomson -- Not sure why this drew me, but it did. Not a lot reviews but 4.16 average at GR

Quote:
Morgan Stone will do anything to keep his daughter, Katie. But would he steal? Yes. Lie? Absolutely. Cheat? Most definitely.

When Jeff, Katie’s biological father, threatens to file for paternity, Morgan, blind to anything but the need to protect Katie, strikes back with photographs of Jeff with one woman while engaged to another. With evidence of his ex-partner’s infidelity, he meets Jeff’s fiancée, Kristen St. John. In less than thirty seconds, he destroys her dreams with damning photographs of Jeff in the arms of another woman.

Can Kristin believe the evidence of her fiancés’ infidelity? Caught in the middle of a battle between two men, Kristin doesn’t know who to believe or trust, especially her heart when it comes to Morgan. She finds herself falling for this fierce, loyal man. But when it comes to loving Kristen, will Morgan find it within himself to give up everything, even Katie?
Freebie West For Love (A Mail Order Romance Novel) - Claire Charlins -- Seems lately I can't get enough of these mail-order bride stories This author is also Karolyn James - looks like she has a couple of rocker series but this is her debut into historical romance

Quote:
Shamed for not birthing a child with her wealthy husband, Anna Stewbren can no longer face her family and the disappointment that they wear on their faces daily. After her husband forces her into divorce, Anna travels to town and reads a heartbreaking letter from a wet nurse in Kansas, seeking a mail order bride for the widower she works for. She instantly knows it is the answer to her prayers...

Josephine has a God given gift to nurture the infants of widowers and the wealthy who would rather not feed their own children. Never before has she met a man like Thomas who so deserves a second chance at love. When she pens a letter to a newspaper in Massachusetts, she does so without permission...

Thomas Calhor is a hardworking man, generous to those around him, and a loving father. However, he is broken and lost without his wife, who did not survive childbirth. His reaction to Josephine's letter even surprises himself and begins a journey that will forever change many lives...

Arriving in Kansas brings Anna more challenges than she ever expected to find, but through love, honor, marriage, and a shocking secret that will forever keep her with Thomas proves that in romance, anything can happen...

I tried to pre-order the Jill Shalvis Lucky Harbor book and got an error message that said to try again, but it does show as processing on the orders page. I've no idea if the order really went through or not...

Okay, I just checked my bank and it does show as pending transaction. So I guess it did. Glad I didn't try again .

I ordered that one too. 50% off Hachette titles is usually as good as it's going to get in terms of discounts with our without coupons.

BTW, I thought Amazon did not actually charge for the pre-orders until they are delivered. I don't have any pending charges for the 2 I ordered today.

$.99 Seduce by Missy Johnson
blurb:
Twenty-five year old Jack Falcon doesn’t do relationships, and why would he when he has woman after woman literally throwing themselves at him? For Jack, life is perfect just the way it is. He works hard and he plays harder.

Jack’s life changes when he meets Belle. Unlike any woman he’s ever met, there is something about this girl that makes him unable to keep away, something beyond the youthful beauty and her innocent spirit. Belle is strong and independent, a big leap from the usual brainless chicks he tends to attract.

Jack begins a dangerous game. He is determined to seduce Belle, and without realizing it, his feelings for her develop beyond anything he has ever felt before. Things become complicated when he learns there are good reasons as to why he should stay the hell away from her.

How can you stay away from someone you want to spend every waking minute with? And what do you do when you know eventually you will destroy that person?

As their feelings for each other deepen, Jack struggles with his own internal demons which threaten to rip them apart. Jack is torn between following his heart and listening to his head, which keeps telling him he is not good enough for her. She deserves better than what he can give her.

How far will he push before they both fall over the edge?
