of potential interest. I'm just picking out ones I think likely to be of interest to several of you - there are far more than this. Check the price at the site before purchasing. A lot of the titles are also on sale at Kobo, for those of you who prefer open file formats.
As previously noted:
99p Alan Garner - The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/the-weirdstone-of-brisingamen
###
£1.49 Hercule Poirot's Christmas (Poirot) (Hercule Poirot Series Book 20)
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/hercule-poirot-s-christmas-poirot
£1.69 The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries: The Most Complete Collection of Yuletide Whodunits Ever Assembled
(Note: this initially looked to me suspiciously like one of those anthologies assembled by collecting a lot of material which fell out of copyright in the US during the period when copyright had to be actively renewed, but it's a UK edition and a lot of the material is later than the "use it or lose it" period or pre-Mouse, so there's a mix of material.)
99p Tad Willams - The Dirty Streets of Heaven: Bobby Dollar 1
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/the-dirty-streets-of-heaven
(The next 2 books are also 99p each at Amazon and Kobo.)
£1.69 Kim Newman - Anno Dracula
£2.29 Tom's Midnight Garden
£1.99 Pippi Longstocking
£2.29 Do You Know Pippi Longstocking?
£1.49 First Term at Malory Towers (Malory Towers (Pamela Cox) Book 1)
Be warned that the few one star reviews are single stars because this is a "modernised" edition and not the original text.
99p Jen Frederick - Losing Control (Kerr Chronicles Book 1)
99p Jen Frederick - Taking Control (Kerr Chronicles Book 2)
Yes, *that* Jen Frederick, now known to be Jane Litte of Dear Author. I am... conflicted... about this one. I have no regrets about donating to her legal defence fund, and would do so again. But I think her actions relating to the dual identity amounted to catfishing, and were rank hypocrisy given how her DA persona would have treated any other author who did the same thing. Going to think a while longer about buying these.
ETA: katlinel notes in comments "many of Helen MacInnes' thrillers (WW2 and Cold War era) are available for 99p for Kindle at the moment." Bumping up to the post because it sounds like an author/series that if one of my friends likes it, several will.
