Same here, it might be interesting, but even it sounds pretty meh. Still, I got it cause I like to get my money's worth from my Prime subscription.

Thanks for the reminder; I got Tunnel Vision. Can't say any of the look all that appealing--I haven't read one of the Kindle First books yet.

Call them Kindle Last and read them last

I still haven't selected one yet either. Don't really like the choices, but I'll find something.

I almost forgot - I was waiting for people to read and review them before I decided. I went with Moonlight Palace, but none sounded that exciting.

New month, new selection...

Kindle First Link

Science-Fiction Thriller
The Fire Seekers (The Babel Trilogy Book 1) - Richard Farr

Spoiler:

The time of our immortality is at hand.

An undeciphered language in Crete. A rash of mysterious disappearances, from Bolivia to Japan. An ancient warning at the ruins of Babel. And a new spiritual leader, who claims that human history as we understand it is about to come to an end.

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Calder’s world falls apart when a freak accident brings personal tragedy—and he discovers there’s a link between the accident and a wildly successful new cult, the Seraphim. Catapulted into a violent struggle for humanity’s past and future, he’s not even sure who the enemy is, or if he’s battling a phantom that doesn’t exist. But as Daniel puts his life on the line, he is forced to conclude that our very survival as a species will depend on who, and what, we choose to believe.

Historical Fiction
The Glassblower - Petra Durst-Benning(Author), Samuel Willcocks (Translator)

Spoiler:

In the village of Lauscha in Germany, things have been done the same way for centuries. The men blow the glass, and the women decorate and pack it. But when Joost Steinmann passes away unexpectedly one September night, his three daughters must learn to fend for themselves. While feisty Johanna takes a practical approach to looking for work, Ruth follows her heart, aiming to catch the eye of a handsome young villager. But it is dreamy, quiet Marie who has always been the most captivated by the magic—and sparkling possibilities—of the craft of glassblowing. As the spirited sisters work together to forge a brighter future for themselves on their own terms, they learn not only how to thrive in a man’s world, but how to remain true to themselves—and their hearts—in the process.

Fiction
The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter - Craig Lancaster

Spoiler:

From the bestselling author of 600 Hours of Edward comes the story of a boxer and a sportswriter whose fates are inextricably linked.

Hugo Hunter, a would-be champion who never quite made it, is on his last legs. Thirty-seven years old, soft around the middle, and broke, he’s plummeted from his glory days of title fights to small-time bouts against brawlers and punks. Watching ringside for nearly twenty years has been Mark Westerly, a sportswriter who has struggled to keep a professional distance from the man whose life and career have become enmeshed with his own tumultuous trajectory. Hugo and Mark share a history that runs deep and has at times gotten ugly. As Hugo lands on the ropes again, Mark steps in to try to save him—and unburdens himself of long-held secrets regarding Hugo’s past. But can these two men, who’ve lived so long under the weight of their own tragedies, finally help each other find redemption?

Mystery
My Sister's Grave - Robert Dugoni

Spoiler:

Tracy Crosswhite has spent twenty years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. She doesn’t believe that Edmund House—a convicted rapist and the man condemned for Sarah’s murder—is the guilty party. Motivated by the opportunity to obtain real justice, Tracy became a homicide detective with the Seattle PD and dedicated her life to tracking down killers.

When Sarah’s remains are finally discovered near their hometown in the northern Cascade mountains of Washington State, Tracy is determined to get the answers she’s been seeking. As she searches for the real killer, she unearths dark, long-kept secrets that will forever change her relationship to her past—and open the door to deadly danger.

Sadly, the one from the american four that most interested me was the only one that was not included in the UK four.

Oh well, can't complain too much at another freebie I might eventually get round to reading one day.

[booklover6]

I picked My Sister's Grave - Robert Dugoni this month.

One of their selections is different. Instead of The Fire Seekers, they have...

From the Cradle (Thriller) - Louise Voss, Mark Edwards

Spoiler:

The first child was taken from her house.
The second from his mother's car.
The third from her own bedroom...

When Helen and Sean Philips go out for the evening, leaving their teenage daughter babysitting little Frankie, they have no idea that they are about to face every parent's greatest fear.

Detective Inspector Patrick Lennon is hopeful that the three children who have been abducted in this patch of south-west London will be returned safe and well. But when a body is found in a local park, Lennon realizes that time is running out—and that nothing in this case is as it seems...

Blending police procedural with psychological thriller, From the Cradle will have every parent checking that their children are safe in their beds...then checking again.

The other three selections are the same as the US First offerings.

Eek! How confusing!
I'll be sure to label Kindle First (US) next month.

Normally I try to wait a week or so before picking (get some reviews coming in), but this was really the only one that sounded interesting this time around.

[Catlady]

I got My Sister's Grave as well. It's the first offering I've seen that looks like a book I'll actually read!

Sad thing is...I'd rather have this one to most of the US choices

Guess I'll for with My Sister's Grave like many others
