An easy choice for me this month. "It ends with Her". Now I just have to hope that it lives up to the blurb.

For me, "The Air Raid Killer" sounds very interesting!

Several good ones this month, after a few months of nothing interesting.

I see 3 that look interesting this month. The Air Raid Killer , sounds like a book I have pre ordered for free a while ago. It might be a different book with the same title. I'll have to check it first. The other two would be " When Never Comes " and " It Ends with her."
Thanks newkindlefun & Manabi |

I ultimately went with it, but I was tempted by An American Princess. I'd never heard of her, and her life story sounds fascinating. Not fascinating enough for me to pay for it on top of the free book, but it was a close thing.

Might you be thinking of some of Jim McDermott's books, which seem sort of similar to me? I had to go check myself, because this one sounded really familiar to me too...

I had no idea at the time when I pre ordered " Air Raid Killer" this was months ago, that it was going to be a free selection on Kindle First as well. I wonder since they knew I was a Prime member that they put the book out for free way before it showed up for the April selection ? Either way I'm happy with the other book I selected, but it was confusing. I'm still pre ordered for" Air Raid Killer" but it's not free anymore. |

That's a good way to go about it. I have been setting my reading challenges way off my beaten path of Mystery & History. I pick a challenge in a genre I don't usually read for one year. This year I chose Fantasy, and I'm only reading the first books if it's a series, or just a stand alone. Last year I challenged myself to read Nonfiction. I always worry when I pick a challenge genre that I won't find enough or any that I want to read. Luckily for me I have found many. Next year I may try Science Fiction. I never know which genre I'll pick until the new year. I wait till the last day to decide, I think better under pressure.
What really surprised me was how Amazon knew what I would pick for Kindle First April selection, months before I did ! |

My guess is that if you hadn't picked a book this month, they would have considered your pre-order as picking Air Raid Killer and given it to you for free anyway. |
