I found a brilliant book for £1 on Kindle

[PomBearWithAnOFRS]

It's called "The Earth Hums in B Flat" and it was really good and only a pound!
By Marisa (I think) Strachan - it's about a young girl growing up in a little village in Wales, and all the family secrets. It sounds a bit drab but the way it's written is really good - the plot has loads of little clues and drops hints, and you get loads of "Ooo" and "AHA!" moments, and then something else turns out to be true. I really enjoyed it anyway. It reminded me a bit of "A Boy's Life" somehow but it's nowhere near as big, and there's no supernatural element, just the girl's imagination.

coming up as £4.49 for me sadly

does sound good though, will keep an eye on it in case the price fluctuates.

Aww I only bought it yesterday! It's like playing the stockmarket watching those prices for Kindle books on Amazon!

It was the Amazon Daily Deal yesterday so it's only 99p for that day

weird - I'm sure it was a pound
Amazon are strange!

You get a different book each day under the Kindle Daily Deal priced usually at 99p. I bought The Earth Hums in B Flat too, PomBear :)

Just occasionally you get a gem like that at a bargain price, but a lot of the time it's stuff that doesn't appeal to me, thankfully, otherwise my kindle would be full and my bank account empty :o

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but there are plenty of places you can go for free Kindle books. Not brand new stuff, of course, but generally out-of-copyright novels are freely available if you know where to go.

www.gutenberg.org is a good place to start. You need to have a rough idea of what you're after but, for example, Charles Dickens / Wilkie Collins / etc etc all free to download.

I'm falling in love with Great Expectations all over again :)

ooh yes I bough this on the daily deal for 99p...thought it looked worth a try at that price! It is now on my waiting to read list!!
