What have you bought in the Kindle sale?

Excellent, thank you :)

That's right fuzzpig they're adding new titles every day but they all stay in till midnight on the 7th.

Can I just ask, are the things that are on the sale now actually staying on sale until 7th jan? So I could just look then and see everything all in one go? (Not daily deals obviously)

I work in a library so see loads of books I'd like to read all the time, not that I ever make time to read them

Complete Hitch hikers guide, could recite huge chunks as a teen.

I mean that there are a couple that I want to read but I own in paperback, and in those cases I get the Kindle edition on the basis that I will pass on the print copy to a relative, friend or charity shop. With children's books, even YA ones or very girly ones that my sons might never read, I'm not so comfortable somehow with replacing real books with ebooks.

I loved Purple Hibiscus and A Cupboard Full of Coats and The Language of Flowers were good reads too (though I wouldn't consider them to be quite the same literary quality). I bought The Snow Child and there are a couple of others which I own but I may not get them.

I have bought loads in the sale for my new Kindle!
So far:
The Snow Child
A cupboard full of coats
Magician
The language of flowers
Purple Hibiscus
The grass is singing
My sister lives on the mantlepiece
The 100 year old man.....

plus a few others I've bought not in the twelve days deals!!
Should keep me going for a bit!!

I got The Life of Pi for 20p too

I have finished it already, what a fab book!

Also Amy Tan, The Kitchen God's Wife

There are lots that I've bought either in this sale or previously on Kindle that I'm really looking forward to and have heard are good, including some non fiction books, history, travel and memoir especially.

I enjoyed these books previously, some on Kindle and some in other formats, which are in the sale

Literary

Chimamanda Ngosi Adichie, Purple Hibiscus - a girl growing up in Nigeria, with a domineering father
Eleanor Catton, The Rehearsal - drama school in New Zealand
Yvonne Edwards, A Cupboard Full of Coats - controversial Booker longlist, debut novel by a London writer

Other Fiction

Vanesssa Diffenbaugh, The Language of Flowers - California - a young woman who has had difficult experiences of being in care has a baby herself, and comes to terms with her relationship with her long term foster mother. A great if rather sentimental read.

Crime fiction

Carola Dunn, Death at Wentwater Court - first of 20 books about a fairly posh amateur sleuth in the 1920s - fluffy but quite fun (and I'm not really normally a reader of such a cosy type book)

Alison G Taylor, Simeon's Bride - reissue of a rather dark police detective crime novel, first in series of 5 - Taylor was a social worker working in the children in care area and was a whistleblower. I read this quite a long time ago and would recommend it if the subject matter doesn't make you run away screaming.

Started The Lewis Man by Peter May - 20p! Like it very much so far.

I bought The White Lie for £1.29 and The Language of Flowers for 99p. Both been on my wish list for a while but my TBR pile is verging on the rediculous!

The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed out of tthe Window and Disappeared, for just 20p.

Also, And When Did You Last See Your Father, for 99p. I've been meaning to get that for ages.

Ivy Malone - shockingly shit

I already have it but The House By The Sea by Santa Montefiore is a good read and is only £1.99 in the sale.

The Elly Griffiths book in the sale is number 4 in a 5 book series.
I bought Cold Grave by Craig Robertson in the sale and then discovered it is number 2 in a series so had to buy number 1 which isn't in the sale.

I have bought The Mitfords, Letters between 6 sisters. £1.99

I got J.M Barrie Ladies Swimming Society which I've just started. English Monster and Glass Geishas which I've had on my wish list for a while. The Dinner is on today's daily deal so I've got that too. There's a lot of filler in this sale I think.

I may be tempted by The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy trilogy of five novels :o but again I'm struggling to find anything much in today's offering.

Any good recommendations?

DD bought the Life if Pi and a QI one for 20p.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers - Life and Death in a Mumbai Slum and quite a few others - but that one was on the wishlist for the books I most want to buy and would probably buy at over £5 (my wishlist for books I'm considering buying at some point if they're cheap enough or want to remind myself of occasionally is huge).

I'm also making a wishlist for this sale - I add anything that looks worth considering buying and then I can go back and find the ones I'm tempted by easily, as the list is over 400 and they're adding books each day until 7 January.

And now, it's gone midnight and I can look at the Daily Deal and today's sale additions!

20p books are separate offers from the Kindle sale - they might end tomorrow and they might be around for weeks. I have most except for the really ridiculous ones already, some I even paid a bit more than 20p for. There are some sale offers which I paid much more for too, grrr.

They're in the best sellers chart.
