All of these books which have audio narrations (thus, creating Whispersync deals), have them for $1.99 each! A Question of Red appears to be the only ebook of the bunch that doesn't have an audio companion.

I'll try to post this information on the "Cheap Whispersync Deals" thread later in the day, if someone else doesn't do it first.

Yeah, I noticed that while you were posting this. Feel free to post the deals, I just don't have the time.

You're quite welcome. I noticed that I already had Still Waters, but haven't read it yet. This must be a sign telling me to read it.

There is such a great number of deals out there most days that there's no way to post even the ones that I learn about. Even then, I "know" that I must have overlooked some. I try not to think about the ones that I may have missed, and just try to prioritize the ones that I do know about.

Here's a positive review, from a good newspaper, for the one I will probably read:

Looks good. I don't know any of the authors as yet. I figure though that you can't go wrong with books that are free for a time. If you find you don't like one you haven't lost any money on the deal.

And they're not physical books, so they don't take up (in my case) precious space in the house!

Most of the books don't interest me (I'm not into 'literature') but I bought the audiobook and am listening to Still Waters which is a Swedish crime novel set in a vacation area. Good so far!

9 Free Kindle Amazon Crossing Titles
PG at the Passive Voice blog links to a Publishing Perspectives piece highlighting an Amazon Crossings promotion featuring 9 free Kindle books. You can and should download all 9 with the intention of at least giving them a try, even if they are not what you would ordinarily read. To quote:

In what may be its most dramatic gesture of support for translated fiction to date, AmazonCrossing–the translation imprint of Amazon Publishing–is giving readers a chance to read nine of its most prominent and successful translated titles free of charge for a limited time.

I read the book River in Darkness ( what ever its called) and it was fantastic. I am now reading Last Train to Istanbul. It is so boring and wordy but well written. I am not sure if I have the patience to read it to the end. The author adds little details not relevant to the story and its trying my patience.
