Recommendsday: March Kindle Offers

It’s the second Wednesday of the month, which means Kindle Offers day and oh boy it’s a bumper month.

On the romance front the offers include Christina Lauren‘s The True Love Experiment, Kristina Forrest‘s The Neighbor Favor, Mhairi MacFarlane‘s It’s Not Me, It’s You, Rachel Lynn Solomon‘s Business of Pleasure and Etta Easton’s The Kiss Countdown which I still have on the to-read pile. Ali Hazelwood has a new adult book out this month but Check and Mate her YA novel is on offer for 99p

In mystery and crime it’s a good month for mysteries with vicars with both the first Grantchester book, Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death and the first Canon Clement mystery Murder Before Evensong on offer. Then there’s the third Three Dahlia’s book, Seven Lively Suspects, Nita Prose’s The Maid (the third one is out in April), Jesse Sutanto’s Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. In classic crime, Josephine Tey‘s The Franchise Affair is on offer as is another of the seasonal Agatha Christie short story collections, this time Sinister Spring.

I already mentioned on Friday that the Lady Julia Grey series are on offer – but it bears repeating. Going further back in history, there’s PD James’s Death Comes to Pemberley at £1.79, the seventh and it looks like final Shardlake mystery Tombland is back on offer at 99p as is Philippa Gregory‘s The Constant Princess about Catherine of Aragon ahead of another joining the series in the autumn (The Boleyn Traitor about Jane Boleyn).

There’s a bunch of TV-tie in, or TV related books on offer this month too. There’s Gill Hornby’s Miss Austen which has just been turned into a TV series, as well as the first Hawthorn and Horowitz The Word Is Murder, not long after the adaptation of Horowitz’s Moonflower Murders (and not long now before the third book in that series arrives). THere’s also Enola Holmes and there are a few Julia Quinns on offer, including the final Bridgerton book, Gregory’s story On the Way to the Wedding and Mr Cavendish, I Presume,

On the non-fiction front, there are actually quite a lot of celebrity memoirs on offer too – I haven’t read these, but they all had good reviews when they came out: Pamela Anderson’s Love, Pamela, Britney Spears’s The Woman in Me, Viola Davis’s Finding Me and Lauren Graham’s Have I Told You This Already. Not quite a celebrity in the traditional sense but Anne Glenconnor’s Lady in Waiting is on offer too as is Susannah Constantine’s Ready for Absolutely Nothing.

There are also some pretty good history books on offer, like Dan Jones’s The Hollow Crown, Lucy Worsley’s Queen Victoria, and although I haven’t read this one, the Elizabeth I book in the Penguin Monarchs series – these are really good short surveys of monarch’s lives written by notable historians, in the case of Elizabeth I it’s Helen Castor.

One of my favourite Terry Pratchetts is on offer at £1.99 this month: It’s the wonderful Going Postal! GNU Sir Terry. Also on my favourites shelf and on offer are: the third Cazalet Chronicle Confusion (with yet another fresh cover, this time one that I don’t like) and the third Tales of the City – Further Tales of the City, Barbara Pym‘s Excellent Women, Daphne Du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel, the cheap Georgette Heyers continue to include Devil’s Cub,

And it was an bad month for my willpower because books I bought while writing this post included: Julian Clary’s Curtain Call to Murder, Maigret and the Wine Merchant, Very Good, Jeeves, Remember Me by Mary Balogh, BK Borison‘s new release First Time Caller, and Jilly Cooper’s The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous.

Good luck at having more will power than me!
