Bargain Alert! The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons for $1.99!

March 27, 2011 Leave a comment

I haven’t read this series yet, but my sister has and she swears by the “epic romance” of Tatiana and Alexander from the series. So, since it’s so cheap, maybe it’s time to check out Paullina Simons’ books?

The Bronze Horseman (A Love Story) with Bonus Material by Paullina Simons is currently available for the Kindle for just $1.99 (Romance). *This is specially discounted as the original edition available on Amazon (but without any bonus content) is still listed as $9.99!

The Bronze Horseman is the first book of the series, followed by Tatiana and Alexander and the soon-to-be released The Summer Garden.

Product Description:

See how it all began . . . The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur, or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler’s armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad.

Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana—and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander’s impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects—a secret as devastating as the war itself—as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever.

Complete with excerpts from Tatiana and Alexander (available now) and The Summer Garden (on sale June 21), the next two books in the trilogy, follow the epic love story of Tatiana and Alexander from the beginning.

Blue‘ by Lou Aronica is available for FREE download on the Amazon Kindle site. Just click here to download this book. *Also free at B&N Nookbooks.

Book Description

Do not begin this novel unless you are prepared to be moved, willing to open your heart, and available to the possibility that life can bring you magic.

Chris Astor is a man in his early forties who is going through the toughest stretch of his life. Not long before, Chris’ world sparkled – he was doing significant work, he had a good home, and his young daughter brought him more joy than he ever could have imagined. Now, divorce and estrangement have left him confused and all too often alone. Becky is Chris’ fourteen-year-old daughter, a girl who overcame enormous challenges in her early years to become a vibrant, vital young woman. Her parents’ divorce has left its mark, though, most significantly in her relationship with her father. Once, they told remarkable stories together. Now, they barely speak. Emotional detachment from Chris is not Becky’s biggest concern, though.

Miea is the young queen of a fantasy land that Becky and Chris created when Becky was little – a fantasy land that has developed a life of its own. Miea knows nothing of Becky and Chris. She only knows that her beautiful kingdom – a place of remarkably varied flora, dignified and distinctive fauna, and an ecology that works in symphonic majesty – is in terrible, maybe fatal trouble. At the most challenging junctures of their lives, Becky and Miea discover each other and Miea shares this discovery with Chris. For Becky, it is nearly inconceivable that a place she created has come into existence. For Miea, it is nearly inconceivable that a child created her land. For Chris, it is beyond inconceivable that he is again sharing something important in his daughter’s life. For all of them, it as though a world of opportunity has opened up before them. But time is not on their side. In fact, time might be running out. Together, they need to uncover a secret. The secret to why these worlds have joined at this moment. The secret to their purpose. The secret to the future. It is a secret that, when discovered, will redefine imagination for all of them.

Blue is a novel of trial and hope, invention and rediscovery. It might very well take you someplace you never knew existed. Do not, however, begin it unless you are prepared to be moved.

New Game App for the Kindle – Checkers

March 26, 2011 Leave a comment

Here’s another new game app for the Kindle! Love Checkers in real life, so a digital version for the Kindle should be fun :)

Checkers (A Classic Game for Kindle)‘ by A Gamz (they were the ones who produced the fun game Maze A Thon) is available on the Amazon Kindle site for $0.99! Just click here to download!

Game Description

The classic board game of checkers is now available on Kindle.

Choose whether you wish to play against Kindle with up to ten levels of difficulty, or against a friend with Pass ‘n’ Play mode. You can customize the game with a variety of gameplay options including “Forced Jump” mode, which requires you to jump if you can, and a “Relaxed” mode which does not force you to make a jump. In addition, “Tournament” mode offers a different challenge by randomizing the first three starting moves, leaving you with a different game every time.

Stuck? You can ask for a hint on your next best move or look for pieces with letters to see your options for legal plays. And if all else fails, just undo your last move (or moves) – including all the way back to the beginning of the game if you wish.

Enjoy the classic board game of Checkers on the go!

New Game Apps for the Kindle (March 25)

March 25, 2011 Leave a comment

Here’s some more new game apps for the Kindle – with all these apps, who has time to read?!

Strimko (A Logic Game for Kindle)‘ by Braintonik Games is available on the Amazon Kindle site for $2.99! Just click here to download!

Game Description

Jump into Strimko and enjoy classic Sudoku gameplay with a twist!

The object of the game is to place a set of numbers in rows or columns without repeating them in any row or column. Strimko adds a concept of “streams” that crisscross throughout the puzzle. With streams, you must consider not only the rows and columns, but also the streams, and make sure that each contains different numbers.

You can choose from four different difficulty levels. Each difficulty level increases the size of the grid you play on: “Easy” has a 4×4 grid, while the “Master” level challenges you with a 7×7 grid. Each of the four difficulty levels has 30 different puzzles, allowing for a total of 120 different puzzles to play. A hint function can also let you keep playing if you get stuck.

Challenge yourself and tease your brain as you master the logic required to solve Strimko puzzles!
