Amazon's 12 Days of Kindle - SALE

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Has anyone bought any of the books in the latest kindle sale, and if so, which ones do you recommend?

I havent got anything, but have read the email... Its on my 'get round to' list.

Ahem.
I've bought about 14 I think. I have very eclectic tastes, a serious book habit and it is so very easy to one-click. Haven't had time to read any of them yet, but at 99p a book it was worth the indulgence.
What sort of stuff do you like to read?

On my (also fairly eclectic) wish list so far:
Pharmacology by Christopher Herz
Map of a Nation by Rachel Hewitt
Classical Education: the stuff you wish you'd been taught at school
True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey

For the DC:
The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce
You're a bad man, Mr Gum

Of the mainstream fiction, there's some books I've already read and enjoyed:
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
a couple by Victoria Hislop - the Return and The Island
Small Island by Andrea Levy

Nothing to Envy:Real Lives in North Korea is excellent,so far,though also very disturbing at times.

Dust just trying to think which books I've enjoyed this year and it's quite hard to decide what I like, since I was given my Kindle I think my tastes have broadened .

Loved Tiger Hlls and One Day, though I know that usually gets a slating on MN, and Stone's Fall which were all for my book group. Also loved White Tiger and have just finished A Winter's Tale, which I also loved. Oh and the first Wallander book got me totally hooked.

Satsuma haven't looked at your other choices but have already read Mr Gum to DS and I think I enjoyed it more than him, lots of giggling at bedtime .

La Fille think that would be right up my street!

Morning.

I got a Kindle for Christmas and I'm a bit clueless, I have found the freebie classics. Is there an easy way to search them or do they make it difficult on purpose?

Totally agree with Dustinthewind the one-click thing is a recipe for a huge bill.

Any tips or hints on where to go and what to download gratefully received.

Go on Amazon Kindle shop RebeccaMumsnet . They do a top 100 list of books . One list to buy , one list of freebies . I am always downloading the freebies . cheapskate

I like the idea of reading allllll of the classics that I have never managed to read. I think I may be setting the bar too high!

free collection page has links to popular classics and timelimited promotions.

ohhh thanks

I haven't but will check it today as I have a £25 Amazon voucher for Xmas

There's plenty of mills and boon style stuff and soft p*rn too!!!

Soft porn you say... roode.

My friend commutes by train and she reckons that lots of folk have embraced the kindle as a way of reading whatever they want, without being judged by fellow commuters

Rebecca you can search here for the titles or authors you are looking for or take a look at the top 100 free books as many of the classics appear in the list.

I tend to have a classic on the go and read other stuff in between.

Am being worryingly good, still haven't bought a thing from the sale yet. Would appreciate a few more recommendations .
