Tell me about it. I intended to buy exactly ONE book: The Murder of My Aunt. Somehow I ended up with 25.

I just finished the Admiral's Penniless Bride which was purchased during the March 50% Kobo code binge. I liked it so I thought I'd grab the rest at these prices. Sooo many of my recent purchases are new authors for me or the first in a series, this could be bad news for Visa if I find I like them when the next mega-code comes up.

You're welcome.

And it will probably still be good today.

Check out this publisher.

One interesting title here is The Price of Salt--they don't note it, but that's an early Patricia Highsmith book, written under a pseudonym.

ETA: Actually, I see they do say it's by Highsmith in the description.

Ack! I'm glad we don't get these coupons that often or I would have to get a second job.

The coupon is still working. I checked out your publisher link and thanks (I think ) - got a couple of those. That particular Highsmith one didn't interest me, but funny you should mention her, as some of the characters in Richard Hull's books remind me of her characters.

I went back and got these:


Cropper's Cabin [MultiFormat] by Jim Thompson
Monte Carlo Mission [MultiFormat] by Vivian Connell
Lost Lady [MultiFormat] by Octavus Roy Cohen
The Lucky Stiff [MultiFormat] by Craig Rice
The Hinges of Hell [MultiFormat] by Stewart Sterling
Alarm In The Night [MultiFormat] by Stewart Sterling
One Minute Past Eight [MultiFormat] by George Harmon Coxe
Red Jade: A Detective Jack Yu Investigation [Secure eReader] by Henry Chang
Loyal Character Dancer [Secure eReader] by Qiu Xiaolong

[tselling]

The coupon better become invalid soon... I can't stop buying ebooks. For those using Calibre and Apprentice Alf's plugins, ereader books are easy as pie to transport to other readers.

I added four more myself--and put a few more on my wish list.

• William Ard: A Private Party
• Octavus Roy Cohen: Lost Lady
• William H. Fielding: Take Me As I Am
• Ryerson Johnson: Lady in Dread

At least we're encouraging these publishers to reissue more pulp fiction!

[ATDrake]

Added a few more myself. A couple extra e-Reads books seem to have dropped in the meantime to pricematch the recent changes in other stores. Nothing really that I wanted from my wishlist, but if you had anything of theirs on yours, it's probably worth checking back.

Mostly I picked up stuff from the wishlist which looked interesting and read well in the sample (and were dirt cheap, too).

2.40 - 1 The Gallows in the Greenwood [MultiFormat] by Phyllis Ann Karr
1.20 - 1 Memory and Desire [MultiFormat] by Lillian Stewart Carl
4.00 - 1 China to Me: A Partial Autobiography [MultiFormat] by Emily Hahn
2.80 - 1 Moonlight [MultiFormat] by Susan Dexter

The coupon, incidentally, continues to work. Although I wouldn't bet on its lasting more than a few more hours, in case anyone else wants to do some more late night last-minute shopping.

[Blossom]

I picked up a few more tonight too when I realized I was missing some in a series I was organizing. lol

1.98 - 1 Killer Cargo [Secure eReader] by Dana Mentink
2.00 - 1 Doctor Right [Secure eReader] by Janet Tronstad
2.00 - 1 Treasure Creek Dad [Secure eReader] by Terri Reed

I admit if I had more money I would just wipe out my HQ wishlist.

I'm already preparing for the next time they offer a mega coupon.

[ATDrake]

Just went and got another batch from the newly pricematched e-Reads stuff. Why yes, I have poor impulse control, thanks for noticing.

But I console myself with the fact that they're all either 1st in series and the samples read well w/author bio indicating acclaim or awards, or authors I'd been meaning to try already.

2.80 - 1 Crisis! [MultiFormat] by James Gunn
2.80 - 1 Crescent in the Sky [MultiFormat] by Donald Moffitt
2.00 - 1 Crystal Skull [MultiFormat] by Rob MacGregor
2.00 - 1 China Song [MultiFormat] by Elizabeth Lane
2.80 - 1 Cloned Lives [MultiFormat] by Pamela Sargent

I think that's probably it until I've gone and read these things and decide whether or not to pick up the next in series/other works the next time FW hopefully does this kind of discount.

It is now dead - RIP.

[apesmom]

Phew, I was sitting on my hands but I made it without any more purchases.

Now aren't we just about due for a good Kobo code?

[Blossom]

Oh I hope so my Kobo store credit is just sitting there waiting for a good coupon. 20% off is meh. I buy Harlequin's newest from there usually but this time I got most of May's from Fictionwise. However June is right around the corner so it all starts over.

Now I know it's over I can make a wish list before I was afraid to log in because I knew I probably buy something else and hubby's eye are already buggin' from the amount I spent during this sale.

My wishlist is groaning for a good Kobo coupon; the Fictionwise coupon was great but didn't put a large enough dent in the wishlist 'cause most of what's on there is not available at FW

(Edited to do a for my 200th post; this is the most I've ever posted in any online community - I must like you guys )
