Fictionwise 60% off this weekend - May 14

[Catlady]

Here's my final list of books purchased with the coupon:

• Lawrence Blochman: See You at the Morgue
• Jack Bludis: Shadow of the Dahlia
• Mignon G. Eberhart and Grantland Rice: Murder at Madison Square Garden
• Steve Fisher: The Night Before Murder
• Peggy Gaddis: Young Nurse
• Arlene Hale: Dude Ranch Nurse
• Dorothy B. Hughes: The Bamboo Blonde and The Blackbirder
• Richard Hull: The Murder of My Aunt
• Day Keene: Sleep with the Devil and Wake Up to Murder
• Lionel White: Death Takes the Bus and Hostage for a Hood

I decided to pass on the Secure eReader books from Rosetta--don't want to give FW by credit card number to unlock and convert, so I'll get them at Kobo or elsewhere later.

[SensualPoet]

I was thinking of the Parnell Hall series -- Murder, Favor, Strangler, Client -- but they are $10 (less 60% is $4) ... but these are also the only titles not (yet) transferred to Amazon Kindle ... and there they are $3 (Detective, Scam, etc). Sorry, but no sale.

You might try the Noir Masters series -- 24 titles, some collections, some novels, some short stories -- which can be found typing that into "key words". At 60% off, these are cheaper than elsewhere.

Aaron Elkins' Gideon Oliver series? They are $10 at Fictionwise, $4 at Amazon ... so, another no sale.

If you are so inclined, it IS a great time to stock up on back issues of Alfred Hitchcock or Ellery Queen magazines.

Richard Stevenson's gay PI, Donald Stratchey, now in 11 novels, is a bargain -- the Fictionwise and Amazon prices are similarly priced but FW is now 60% off.

And all four of Denver lawyer Kenneth Levinson's tales of Denver lawyer Adam Larsen can be had for 60% off ... which is far below Amazon's price.

For all that, fairly slim pickings ...

[Little_bear]

Unfortunately the coupon didn't work for the books I really want (Cambridge Fellows series by Charlie Cochrane) . Here is my list of books I got with the coupon:

• The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold
• Shadow Of The Dahlia by Jack Bludis
• lcyon Drift [Hooded Swan, Vol. 1] by Brian Stableford
• Love Ahead by Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux
• Amulet of Fate by Angela Ashton

Thank you for the coupon!

[NightBird]

FW coupons do not work on Samhain titles.

The Parnell Hall titles at FW are published by E-Reads. The $2.99 ones are Hall's self-published backlog, which is why they are cheaper. Kobo doesn't have his backlog either ( at least on the US side).

Great news, Blossom.

Looks like a good list, Catlady.

I ended up with:

3.40 - 1 Dangerous Visions [MultiFormat] by Harlan Ellison
3.40 - 1 Again, Dangerous Visions [MultiFormat] by Harlan Ellison
3.40 - 1 Dangerous Games [MultiFormat] by Michael Prescott
3.40 - 1 Next Victim [MultiFormat] by Michael Prescott
3.40 - 1 In Dark Places [MultiFormat] by Michael Prescott
4.76 - 1 Rough Cider [Secure eReader] by Peter Lovesey
3.40 - 1 The Other End [MultiFormat] by John Shirley
8.50 - 1 Devil-Devil: Introducing the Sergeant Kella and Sister Conchita Series Set in the Solomon Islands [Secure eReader] by Graeme Kent
-----
33.66 - Total

Unfortunately most on my wishlist are Soho titles still in the $12-$20 range, so I only splurged on the one.

[wandalynn]

This was my first order from Fictionwise. I'd created an account way back but hadn't browsed enough to make a selection. The 60% off was quite an incentive to do some searching. Here's what I ordered:

1.98 - 1 The Album [MultiFormat] by Sandra White
0.20 - 1 Smoke and Mirrors [MultiFormat] by Eugen M. Bacon
2.20 - 1 Come Into the Light [MultiFormat] by Janet Lane Walters
2.80 - 1 Approaching Oblivion [MultiFormat] by Harlan Ellison
2.40 - 1 Wake of the Whale: A Tale of the Pacific Coast [MultiFormat] by Larry L. Bailey
0.28 - 1 To Serve Man [MultiFormat] by Damon Knight
3.98 - 1 Stories of Your Life and Others [MultiFormat] by Ted Chiang
-----
13.84 - Total

I'm looking forward to reading these.

[Critteranne]

I didn't go as wild as some but went wilder than others. I got...

The Game of Rat and Dragon by Cordwainer Smith
To Kiss, Or Kill by Day Keene
The Jewels of Aptor by Samuel R. Delany
Man Hungry by Donald E. Westlake
Masters of Noir: Volume One by Ed McBain & Mickey Spillane & Lawrence Block
Dude Ranch Nurse by Arlene Hale
Young Nurse by Peggy Gaddis
The Bone Parade by Mark Nykanen (my only secure eReader title, I can read it on the Nook Classic)
Castle Perilous [Book 1 of the Castle Perilous Series] by John DeChancie
Weird Tales #357 by Caitlin R. Kiernan & Ann VanderMeer & Matthew Kressel
Hunting Lure [Decoy Series Book 1] by Robert W. Walker
Last of the Breed by Les Savage, Jr.
Analog Science Fiction and Fact, June 2011

Total -- $24.18

[ATDrake]

Well, finally made my purchase. The coupon is still active, by the way, and FW usually doesn't expire these days until 2-3 days after the official date. Plus they let you use them multiple times.

A very different set of titles than I'd intended to get at first.

But I've decided to wait to see if more of the e-Reads catalogue pricedrops in future months and just stocked up on the stuff that had already, the stuff from other publishers I really wanted that wasn't likely to change, and some sf/fantasy/mystery magazine back issues that are likely to disappear.

I might pick up some more stuff tomorrow. Maybe some F&SF magazine back issues; sample and get some of the non list-pricedropped-elsewhere e-Reads titles from my wishlist, see what new things the sf/fantasy/mystery MultiFormat imprints have added since I last checked.

List under spoilers since it's long and kind of boring due to all the mag back issues.

Thank you so much.

[NightBird]

The coupon is still working. I went back and got all the Lawrence Blochman, Steve Fisher, Day Keene and Lionel White, plus this:

Flight to Darkness

I murdered my brother with a sculptor's mallet. But it was only a dream. It was a dream I always had. I hated my brother. I was going home to see him now, get it out of my system, and then spend the rest of my life hunting Leda. She was my wife and she belonged to me. All I remember of that searing journey was the sun blazing down. And there, framed in the doorway, were my brother Frank and Leda, my lovely Judas wife. So when they found my brother with his head battered in by a sculptor's mallet, they said I had murdered him. But did I?

Munseys has a bunch of these under "Pulp Fiction," including Steve Fisher and Lionel White. It has Kiss, Or Kill listed but when I downloaded the EPUB it was a different book by a different author. The Caper by Lionel White does not have an EPUB version.

I told hubby I don't need to eat. j/k

Most are Harlequins & Love Inspired Suspense that I had on my wishlist at Amazon that Kobo didn't have a good copy off. I think I found a new source for getting older HQ titles when the coupon is good enough of course

NightBird, the zipped file for To Kiss, or Kill is the correct Day Keene novel at Munseys.

There are some Steve Fisher and Lionel White stories right here in the MR library, too. Not all epub, though, so you'd have to convert.

I may also need to use that Fictionwise coupon again ...

[NightBird]

Blossom!!!

I told hubby I don't need to eat.

Well, of course not! Books are much better than food. You just eat food and then it's gone, but books ya can read over and over again.

Yeah, it was weird on that one - the HTML file I looked at was correct, too. It was just the epub that was wrong.

I'll have to check and see if they have the same Fisher and White ones here as they do at Munseys - thanks.

ETA: Just checked and they're the ones from Munseys.

There's a Fisher one here that is an omnibus of several of the titles at Munseys.

I just picked up 12 more books at FW.

ETA: These are my additional books:

• Gil Brewer: Flight to Darkness
• George Harmon Coxe: One Minute Past Eight
• Jonathan Craig: Dirge for a Nude
• Bruno Fischer: We Are All Dead

I need to stop hanging out here, you guys are a very bad influence on a struggling ebook hoarder! I thought I was done on Sunday but noooo, you have to tell me the code is still active so of course I added another $15 to my total.
