Kindle book sale

[rivkat]

rachelmanija points to a big Kindle book sale, including The Prince of Tides.  I can't improve on her blurb: "I have an enormous, slightly guilty fondness for this lush, engrossing, and utterly cracktastic Southern Gothic epic about a family whose eccentricity, dysfunctionality, and mental illness goes so far over the top that it reaches the stratosphere. The movie doesn't really do it justice. Contains some racist characters, rape, self-harm, and many other disturbing things. Also contains some really excellent food porn." I would add: the dinner party scene alone defines Crowning Moment of Awesome for me.

How convenient that my Kindle will be arriving Tuesday! Thank you for the link!

Thanks for the heads up. I just got a Kindle but have been choking on the prices for Kindle editions on Amazon (in some cases more than the paperback?!?!?). Just stocked up!

Those Who Hunt the Night is also in that sale. Possibly my favorite vampire novel of all time, and certainly one of the very few that actually gives a convincing depiction of vampires as beings who have lived through different historical eras. I think it's out of print in paperback, otherwise I wouldn't be encouraging Kindle usage, but...

Oh! I shall add it to my list! I missed that one.

I know but I'm scared to read it in case it sucks

Thanks for the headsup - I just sent a ridiculous number of samples to my Kindle.
