Faking It by Elisa Lorello http://www.amazon.com/Faking-It/dp/B...7316490&sr=1-1 ~4 out of 5 stars, based on 9 reviews $0.99 (Paperback is $16.96 on amazon) Product Description What happens when a writing professor and a male escort become friends? Thirty-four-year old professor Andi Cutrone has broken up with her fiancé in Massachusetts, moved back to her native New York, and wants to be a better lover. So after meeting Devin, a handsome, charming escort, she proposes an unusual arrangement: lessons about writing in exchange for lessons about sex. When Devin accepts Andi’s proposal, he draws up a contract in which the two are forbidden to see each other socially. There’s just one problem: Andi also wants Devin. Faking It is a witty, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-wrenching story about relationships, writing, and getting real. Last edited by Xia; 11-04-2009 at 02:07 AM. |

Time Storm 2012: Atlantis and the Mayan Prophecy
by Juliann Farnsworth http://www.amazon.com/Time-Storm-201...7321792&sr=1-1 $0.99 (the paperback costs $12.95 on amazon) Product Description Time Storm 2012 is a science fiction mystery full of action, adventure and romance. While doing research on the unusual occurrences in the Bermuda Triangle, Dr. Mark Turner, a scientist with a double Ph.D. in Oceanographic Seismology and Physics, will uncover something for which the government is willing to kill. Getting more than he bargained for, his discoveries will not only unlock the mysteries of the Devil's Triangle and the Mayan doomsday predictions about the year 2012, but also what happened to the lost city of Atlantis. Will he make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world if it is even possible? His search for the truth will also lead him to love but is she an ally or is she an enemy? Much of the story line has been taken from real science and terrifyingly real scientific research and discoveries. It will keep you guessing on every page. Are we standing on the precipice of a disaster of our own making? The countdown to 2012 has begun. Excerpt: Deep below the Mississippi Valley, an even larger eddie spit out an electromagnetic ejection that traveled up through the channel between the highly magnetic, indigenous rock formations of the Reelfoot Rift, setting off an earthquake larger that the magnitude eight earthquake of 1812, whose violence shook against the solid bedrock all the way to the east coast. Blasts of sand blew up in great out gassings, like mud volcanoes and created a sudden dam on the Mississippi River causing it to run backwards before overflowing its banks. The electromagnetic energy surge passed through the atmosphere and out into space where it collided with the magnetic field of the incoming coronal mass. The resulting magnetic reconnection was so powerful that it created an electromagnetic pulse high above the atmosphere, pushing down on the magnetosphere, it traveled south towards the equator convulsing through land, air and sea, followed quickly by the mass of plasma itself. Starvation, and disease were becoming the norm. Violence and anarchy reigned, while flies fed upon the bodies of the unburied dead. Everywhere was death, dying and sorrow. Earthquakes shook the ground with an ever increasing frequency, across the entire continent, making most of the large cities unsafe for human habitation. Constant, unseasonable storms of tremendous force plagued the homeless millions who had escaped alive. The explosive impact of the asteroid into the water created a mega tsunami over 2,000 feet high that traveled out in every direction hitting all the surrounding coastlines, including Japan, North and South Korea, Russia and even some lower parts of China. It traveled inland more than 60 miles in some places with explosive force, and engulfed large parts of Japan while completely swallowing North and South Korea before receding. It hit flash-melted large quantities of methane hydrates that had been trapped in the fast ice of the sea floor. Bubbling to the surface, and into the atmosphere with eruptive force. The methane gas, mixed with the massive amounts of vaporized sea water, dramatically changed the atmospheric pressure and created a hurricane sized storm within hours. Nebulous, methane clouds circulated among those made of water vapor and passed over parts of Mainland China and Russia. Random bolts of lightning ignited fiery balls of flaming methane gas and acid rain poured down mixed with methane hailstones; ice that burned in the air and on the ground. |

Thanks, Karen, I look forward to hearing about how well (or if) it worked for you.
I did buy it. For a penny, how could I not. I have to assume that my K1's will not last forever and I'll someday have to buy a newer gen K. ~X~ Last edited by Xia; 11-06-2009 at 05:01 AM. Reason: typo |

A few price updates:
Carolyn Kephart's books have gone up to $1.59 each, so they no longer qualify for this thread. Body of Lies by David Ignatius is now $9.99 At the City's Edge by Marcus Sakey is now $9.99 (however, one can still get the hardcover new for $0.87 on amazon, if one desires) New Bargain Submission: The Ostrich, A Tale of Flightless Adventure: Book 1 of the Qistone Trilogy by Stephen W. McNamee http://www.amazon.com/Ostrich-Tale-F...7502766&sr=1-1 Solid 5 out of 5 stars, based on 14 reviews $1.00 (paperback is $14.99) Product Description Imagine if David Sedaris or Chuck Klosterman were forced to narrate Harry Potter. Now, instead of a British boy going to a British boarding school, imagine an Egyptian-American girl going to public school...in Texas. Welcome to the homogeneous setting of Plaintown, Texas (the town’s like Wonder Bread, but whiter) where Davy Crockett Junior High 7th grader Amira doesn’t ask for much. She just wants to fit in, defeat her arch-nemesis in swimming, and speak a coherent sentence in front of her crush, Kyle. Unfortunately, that’s hard to do since Amira’s the protector of a magical orb that mustn’t fall into the hands of a dark, powerful secret society. This task, however, proves especially difficult since Amira doesn’t realize she’s the orb’s protector. Further, Amira must contend with a pack of wolves who want her dead, at least one assassin hot on her trail, vivid nightmares of being chased by a man with purple eyes, and a dangerous lack of rhythm. So can Amira defeat a sinister, uber-powerful group armed with only her wits, a small group of misfit friends, a sweet little brother, and an ostrich? To find out, please read THE OSTRICH: A TALE OF FLIGHTLESS ADVENTURE (BOOK 1 OF THE QISTONE TRILOGY). Last edited by Xia; 11-06-2009 at 05:24 AM. Reason: To add a deal |

Six new free books in the Kindle store today, all with a somewhat religious theme.
The Christmas Lamp, by Lori Copeland Nativity, Missouri, is in trouble. -When the small town is bypassed by the newly constructed highway, it loses its much-needed holiday traffic-threatening not only the town's financial survival, but its very heart and soul. -Outside consultant Jake Brisco threatens everything the community loves about Christmas with his budget-slashing solutions. - Nothing is sacred-not even the traditional town Christmas tree. Long-time resident Roni Elliot knows some sacrifices have to be made, but can't let go of the customs and traditions that have marked her holidays since childhood. - The decorations and customary activities have always generated vitality and joy throughout the whole season in Nativity. -Though their priorities and methods clash, Roni and Jake want the same thing-prosperity for the town.- As the two get to know each other and become close, each begins to gain a new perspective on what the real wealth of Nativity-and the season-might be.- -The Christmas Lamp takes an honest look into the issues and concerns we all face and sheds light on the real origins of Christmas spirit. Apprentice, by Steve Chalke & Joanna Wyld The quest for meaning and purpose dwells within all of us. Jesus insisted that its fulfillment lay in a relationship with him. But what does that relationship look like-really? Apprentice calls spiritual pilgrims, both Christians and non-Christians, to exchange the shallow diversions of secular and religious culture for the pursuit of our true desires. In a book of refreshing honesty, great heart, and rich creativity, Steve Chalke guides us into an apprenticeship with the master teacher, Jesus. Embarking on a relational journey that engages us on every level, we walk with Jesus in an organic, whole-life learning experience, exploring ten areas foundational to the meaning and depth we crave. Apprentice encourages us to ask our most probing questions, embrace our doubts, and learn why we are driven to belong. Combining story and parable with thoughtful commentary, we discover the ancient art and discipline of apprenticeship- living lives stamped with the character, presence, and impact of Jesus. Sin Boldly, by Cathleen Falsani Ranging from Chicago to Kenya, New Orleans to Ireland, Big Sky to Graceland, Falsani dons her investigative cap and scouts for grace. This religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times is a charming guide to places and people who reveal "grace when and where it happens." Eschewing technical theological definitions, Falsani opts instead to tell how she has experienced grace. And we are vicarious travelers, seeing grace--"audacious, unwarranted, and unlimited"--through Falsani's eyes. She marvels at the devotion of young people who crowd to the pope's funeral and at the astoundingly independent women of Asembo Bay in Kenya. She wrestles with anger at a misogynist Tanzanian tour guide and anger at God when her mother and beloved cat face cancer. We traipse along with the author and eavesdrop on her conversations, both external and internal. The result is a pastiche of images meant collectively to reveal God's grace. Though some may find the premise contrived, only a fierce cynic could fail to be drawn in to Falsani's tales and candid reflections. The Dude Abides, by Cathleen Falsani Join award-winning author and columnist Cathleen Falsani as she explores the serious existential questions raised in the movies of the wildly popular and always irreverent Coen brothers. Coen fans and film lovers will appreciate Falsani's unique blend of contemporary insight and spiritual discernment that is both entertaining and illuminating. Ten Stupid Things That Keep Churches from Growing: How Leaders Can Overcome Costly Mistakes, by Geoff Surratt Based on interviews with pastors of growing churches, as well as personal experience, this book identifies the most common mistakes pastors make that keep otherwise healthy churches from reaping the harvest God has prepared. Each chapter spotlights a common mistake, gives real-life examples, uses a generous dose of humor, and provides a practical course of action to recover from the error. The book draws from the experience of Seacoast Church as well as pastors such as Craig Groeschel, Chris Hodges, Perry Nobel, Mark Batterson, Dave Ferguson, Scott Chapman, Dino Rizzo, Ron Hamilton, and Dave Browning, Church leaders will be encouraged to realize that they are not the only ones who struggle, and that turning their situation around may not be as daunting a task as they think. This is a field guide for the common pastor based on actual churches of all sizes.

In case anyone is interested, the Sudoku Volume 1 book works. Basically what you need to do is turn on your wireless, and desktop internet access, and when you click a link in the sodoku book it loads the puzzle. At that point you can turn off the wireless (or not) and play the game. It uses javascript to play the game -- all the instructions are included in the book.
It's kind of a cool concept and points the way to developing other projects that use javascript to provide interactivity with the Kindle. |

This week's free book from Samhain is another repeat from July 2008 - Look What Santa Brought, by Annmarie McKenna
Book Description He is looking for the love of his life, she is looking for a little refuge. A story from The Perfect Gift. Scott Wyatt knows what he wants for Christmas and it comes in a beautiful-voiced, make-his-heart-race, more than tempting package. If only he could see her. Tara Patrick needs a man to make her ex see the light. But when her best friend's gorgeous brother offers himself for the job, she has to say no. How could she possibly use the blind man who makes her heart flutter and not get hurt in the process? Staring at the business opportunity of a lifetime, Tara finds herself living as close to Scott as one can without sharing a bed. Tara's ex isn't happy and he sets out to prove he won't lose her. But when darkness falls, which man has the advantage, because Scott isn't willing to let Tara go either. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit blind sex and graphic language. |
