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

Watership Down is 71p. Never read it, but at that price happy to take the risk that it might be of its time / not live up to the hype / be too upsetting.

Only just spotted this thread. I love a kindle (genuine) bargain!

Yes I loved A year of living danishly! It's made me really want to move to Denmark now...

I just picked up this book 'Driving Over Lemons' about the Genesis drummer Chris Stewart moving to Spain with his family. Sounds like a fun read and is only 99p on the daily deal today!

The Ann Cleves Shetland books 1 to 3 are currently 99p each. I really enjoyed book 1 a couple of years ago but never got around to reading more, so have just bagged myself books 2 to 3.

Especially for anyone who was a teenager in 60's and 70's I have just thoroughly enjoyed reading Bob Harris's autobiography 'Still Whispering after all these years' which is 99p on Kindle at the moment.
There are quite a lot of lists of tracks and musicians and the narrative jumps about a bit but overall it is fascinating to read about a lot of my musical heroes etc.
And for anyone who is a cat lover the little section about his abandoned kitten Razz is really lovely - tissues recommended. Overall he comes across as a lovely gentle, kind , dedicated man who has helped provide the soundtrack to a lot of people's lives.
He is also great friends with the lovely lovely Robert Plant!

Fool's Assassin by Robin Hobb is 99p at the moment. If it's anywhere near as good as her Farseer Trilogy it should be worth reading.

I'm now watching this thread but I suspect this will be bad news for my bank balance and my social life!

We Are All Completely beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler is £1.89 at the moment and well worth a read.

Ooh excellent thread. I've had good deals so far this year on Maggie O'Farrell and Margaret Atwood - off to buy Olive Kitteridge now. Gutted I missed the deal of Alan Cumming's memoirs though - I love him so much.

Actually there's another Maggie O'Farrell on at the mo for 99p.

Has anyone read The Red Queen, by Victoria Aveyard?

I've read it laquila - it's quite light (YA sci fi). Not the best that I've read but probably worth it as a cheapy.

I'm trying to avoid this thread and Amazon at the moment! Plenty to be read at the moment Smile

Thanks LBOCS - I'm not averse to YA but the kindle deals ones can be a bit hit and miss...

SilverMachine - We are all completely beside ourselves is really great. I just bought Precious Thing by Colette McBeth which I am hoping will be fairly similar. This is a story of two estranged childhood friends....

I loved The Help - recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

I hated We are all completely beside ourselves.
