Kindle Daily Deal! Breakfast of Champions (Kurt Vonnegut series) by Kurt Vonnegut for $0.99!

September 30, 2011 Leave a comment

I like this new promo by Amazon! We get a special Kindle Daily Deal!

Each day we’re unveiling a new Kindle book at a specially discounted price. Check back daily to see what’s next. Deals go live at approximately 12:00 A.M., Pacific time.

And the new deal is…

Breakfast of Champions (Kurt Vonnegut series)‘ by Kurt Vonnegut from RosettaBooks is now available at the specially discounted price of $0.99 on the US Kindle site.

Book Description

Breakfast of Champions is a slippery, lucid, bleakly humorous novel. Throughout its pages, reader’s are treated to Vonnegut’s unique opinions on America, war, love, and the idea that “We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.”

Breakfast Of Champions is vintage Vonnegut. One of his favorite characters, aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. The result is murderously funny satire as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.

About the Author
Kurt Vonnegut’s black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959 and established him as “a true artist” (The New York Times) with Cat’s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Mr. Vonnegut passed away in April 2007.

NOOK Daily Find! Moving Day (Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls Series #1) by Meg Cabot for $1.80!

September 30, 2011 Leave a comment

Well… Barnes & Noble has a new promo — the NOOK Daily Find: Today’s Great Book at a Great Price! So, Nook owners need not be envious of those with Kindles! ;)

And the new deal is…

Moving Day (Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls Series #1)‘ by Meg Cabot (Soho Press ) is now available at the specially discounted price of $1.80 on the B&N Nookbooks site. Hopefully, Amazon will do a price match!

Book Description

Nine-year-old Allie Finkle is convinced her life is over when her parents have moved her and her brothers from their moderately stylish home to a creaky old Victorian house in the weirdest part of town. From the author of The Princess Diaries.

When nine-year-old Allie Finkle’s parents announce that they are moving her and her brothers from their suburban split-level into an ancient Victorian in town, Allie’s sure her life is over. She’s not at all happy about having to give up her pretty pink wall-to-wall carpeting for creaky floorboards and creepy secret passageways-not to mention leaving her modern, state-of-the-art suburban school for a rundown, old-fashioned school just two blocks from her new house.
With a room she’s half-scared to go into, the burden of being “the new girl,” and her old friends all a half-hour car ride away, how will Allie ever learn to fit in?

Kindle Daily Deal! The Saint (Kindle Single) by Oliver Broudy for $0.49!

September 29, 2011 Leave a comment

I like this new promo by Amazon! We get a special Kindle Daily Deal!

Each day we’re unveiling a new Kindle book at a specially discounted price. Check back daily to see what’s next. Deals go live at approximately 12:00 A.M., Pacific time.

And the new deal is…

The Saint (Kindle Single)‘ by Oliver Broudy is now available at the specially discounted price of $0.49 on the US Kindle site.

Book Description

Part profile, part travelogue, The Saint is an 85-page tale of true adventure. In this arresting Kindle Single, author Oliver Broudy takes on a writing assignment that will change his life, following James Otis–a collector of Gandhi-related memorabilia and wealthy devotee of the great Mahatma–to India and beyond.

“This is going to be an adventure,” James says presciently. “I have a feeling both of us are going to be very different after this.” And so it proves, as one jaded New Yorker is swept by a spiritually radiant revolutionary on a journey of transformation, from the narcissistic bubble of New York City to the sweeping vistas of the Dhauladhar mountains in northern India. Along the way the mismatched duo cross paths with rogue Chinese agents, the incensed descendents of Mahatma Gandhi, and ultimately the Dalai Lama himself. A gripping blend of action, intelligence, and insight.

NOOK Daily Find! Billy Boyle (Billy Boyle World War II Mystery Series #1) by James R. Benn for $3.25!

Well… Barnes & Noble has a new promo — the NOOK Daily Find: Today’s Great Book at a Great Price! So, Nook owners need not be envious of those with Kindles! ;)

And the new deal is…

Billy Boyle (Billy Boyle World War II Mystery Series #1)‘ by James R. Benn (Soho Press ) is now available at the specially discounted price of $3.25 on the B&N Nookbooks site. Hopefully, Amazon will do another price match! (*I believe that this was free on Amazon a long time ago though).

Book Description

A fan-favorite mystery series debuts when Billy Boyle, a young Irish American cop from Boston, finds himself in London to serve as personal investigator for his uncle Ike — Dwight D. Eisenhower himself.

What’s a twenty-two-year-old Irish American cop who’s never been out of Massa-chusetts before doing at Beardsley Hall, an English country house, having lunch with King Haakon of Norway? Billy Boyle himself wonders. Back home in Southie, he’d barely made detective when war was declared. Unwilling to fight—and perhaps die—for England, he was relieved when his mother wangled a job for him on the staff of a general married to her distant cousin. But the general turns out to be Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose headquarters are in London, which is undergoing the Blitz. And Uncle Ike wants Billy to be his personal investigator.

Billy is dispatched to the seat of the Norwegian government in exile. Operation Jupiter, the impending invasion of Norway, is being planned, but it is feared that there is a German spy amongst the Norwegians.

Billy doubts his own abilities, with good reason. A theft and two murders test his investigative powers, but Billy proves to be a better detective than he or anyone else expected.
