I thought maybe we should have a thread where if someone sees a kindle deal that they think is really good for a book they have read they could recommend here. That way we can pick up new book recommendations at cheaper prices and grow our to be read list

Haven't read it yet but a few people on the 50 Books threads have recommended The Year of the Runaways, which is currently just £1.99. It was Man Booker shortlisted last year.

Today's kindle daily deal has 8 Agatha Raisin novels by M C Beaton. If you like lightweight mystery/crime novels then these are a bargain.

I think the better deal is The Summer Book by Tove Jansson though. That's definitely worth having :)

Well I picked up the year of the runaways. Not what I'd usually read but thought I'd give it a try as it sounds interesting!

Will have a look today and see what else catches my fancy

Quogwinkle I have also snapped up The Summer Book. I think I read somewhere that it is now out of print.

I have read The Summer Book and it is a great read. Good idea for a thread. I have a dedicated wish list for my kindle which I trawl through every now and then to see if the price is reduced.

Cote recommended The Janissary Tree. It's 99p and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

I have to say it's a long time since I have read any but they were all good fun as I recall :)

Ridres, Rivals and Polo are good - bit dated now. The rest went steadily downhill as they went along.

Jamaica Inn is 99p at the moment.

Thanks Quog and Feenie. Ordered Polo in the end - hope it is not too racy for me Wink

Oh no, you can't start on the 3rd one, you'll have missed so much brilliant backstory! Sorry, should have explained they are sequential.

Great thread - thanks for starting it Matilda. I'm now reading The Widow.

Today's kindle daily deal includes Not My Father's Son by Alan Cumming. I read it last year, and recommend it. I don't tend to read many memoirs, but this one was very good.

Anyone on bookbub? That used to be brilliant for deals, but has fewer and fewer these days.
