It’s that time again – second Wednesday of the month means it’s Kindle Offers o’clock. Hide your wallets, disable your one click, this could get pricey!
And lets start with a recent BotW The Boyfriend Candidate and something I recommended really quite recently – Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard which are both 99p (and Boyfriend Candidate is in Kindle Unlimited too). A BotW from slightly longer ago is The Roughest Draft which is the same price. And I’ve written a lot about Curtis Sittenfeld’s Romantic Comedy this summer, but her first novel Prep is on offer this month.
The movie version of Red, White and Royal Blue came out a few weeks ago on Amazon Prime – and the book is 99p at the moment, presumably as a tie in. And Ashley Herring Blake’s Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail is 99p at the moment, just over a month out from the release of the third book in that series.
I’m a bit New Adult-ed out at the moment, but I know that Elle Kennedy is very popular – so thought I’d mention that The Summer Girl is 99p. I read Chloe Liese‘s If Only You from her Bergman Brothers series earlier this year -and that is 99p at the moment but one of her Shakespeare retellings, Two Wrongs Make a Right, is also on offer so I may give that a go despite the aforementioned New Adult fatigue.
One of my favourite recent historical romances, Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin is 99p – I assume to coincide with the release of the sequel. Eloisa James’s latest romance, Not That Duke, is 99p – I’ll admit that that’s one of the ones that I bought while writing this, as is Alexis Halls‘ Mortal Follies! Sarah MacLean’s latest is out – but the first in this series Bombshell is £2.99 on Kindle which is the cheapest I’ve seen it. And Cat Sebastian‘s latest We Could Be So Good is also 99p. It only came out in June and yes, I bought that too.
In plain historical (as opposed to Historical romance) the final Philippa Gregory Tudor book The Last Tudor is 99p. I mentioned it in the Waterstone’s post on Saturday, but Whalebone Theatre is also 99p on Kindle at the moment as well as getting a big push in stores. Gill Hornby‘s Miss Austen is also 99p
In classic novels, Daphne Du Maurier‘s Rebecca is 99p, as is P G Wodehouse’s The Code of the Woosters and the very first Albert Campion Murder at Black Dudley . In other classic crime, Unnatural Death is the Peter Wimsey at 99p this month in an edition I know are decent as opposed to the ever increasing number of alternative editions – some of them even cheaper but with descriptions and covers that give me reason to not entirely sure they’re to be trusted. This is also happening to the Agatha Christies now too – which is very frustrating. The 99p Georgette Heyer is The Nonesuch and there are a couple more at £1.99 including These Old Shades. And this month’s bargain Terry Pratchetts are Dragons at Crumbling Castle for 99p (this is one of his children’s short story collections) and in the Discworld it is Sourcery at £1.99.
And finally a quick bit of non-fiction – Greg Jenner‘s Ask a Historian and Dead Famous are on offer too. And Antonia Fraser’s Charles II biography is 99p as well – if you want 900 pages on the last King Charles before the current one.
Happy Wednesday!
