The only book that I've read that has multiple first person narratives was Bram Stoker's Dracula. It took me a while to think of that one because their narratives are all letters written to each other.

Romances seem to be chock full of his-and-hers narration these days.

seems to be some extra hoops to go through to reach the familiar MOBI/EPUB download buttons - click the One Book Per Day link, confirm email, then use the link sent to your email. And set a reminder for Tue-Wed-Thu...

The Library of the Unwritten by A. J. Hackwith is $2.99 on Amazon.com

Premise:
Books that aren't finished by their authors reside in the Library of the Unwritten in Hell, and it is up to the Librarian to track down any restless characters who emerge from those unfinished stories.

First in a series, sequel is expected this year.

Quote:
Many years ago, Claire was named Head Librarian of the Unwritten Wing—a neutral space in Hell where all the stories unfinished by their authors reside. Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto.

But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil's Bible. The text of the Devil's Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell ... and Earth.

Sounds interesting! Let this be a warning to lazy writers everywhere!

Wouldn't it be absolutely cool if the author stopped at 2 volumes with a cliffhanger?

Maybe not cool, I think maddening is the word you're looking for.

But also very, very meta.

There's a D&D Forgotten Realms bundle up at Humble Bundle. Lots of D&D related novels including the Drizzt books, which I have heard mentioned frequently but never read. I haven't jumped on this myself but I'm tempted. Prices range from $1 to $15 for various levels of the bundle.

And this being Day Four, I've now completed my set, adjusted the formatting to my taste (with a light touch), and loaded them onto the reader.

Now to get a chance to actually READ them. I've been busy all year with caring for my mother (hip replacement), attempting to write (one story submitted and rejected, another under construction), not to mention partaking of the free movie offers Comcast has been throwing my way during the lockdown. One particular book has been glaring at me for a while, sitting at 84%. It's not that I'm disinterested; I quite want to see how it turns out (and read the sequels)... I've just been doing other things.

There just ain't enough hours in the day...

A whole bunch of Anne McCaffrey titles have dropped to £2.99 and £3.99 each at Kindle UK. The list is too long to list them all (and seems to keep getting added to), but here's a link that picks them up, along with a few strays: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?s...price-asc-rank

Fated (An Alex Verus Novel #1)
by Benedict Jacka

is $1.99 at U.S. stores

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/fated-5

Below is the blurb:
Enter a “gorgeously realized world”* and meet a mage destined for greatness in the first novel in the national bestselling Alex Verus series.

Alex is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London that caters to clientele who can do much more than pull rabbits out of hats. And while Alex’s own powers aren’t as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future—allowing him to pull off operations that have a million to one chance of success.

But when Alex is approached by multiple factions seeking his skills to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever’s inside must be beyond powerful. And thanks to his abilities, Alex can predict that by taking the job, his odds of survival are about to go from slim to none....
