message 1: by Becca (new)

Becca (becca16) | 157 comments Where does everyone get their books? Does anyone know of websites where you can get books free or trade or something? Are there places where you can get books really cheap? And who uses audible? Is it worth it? I like listening to books, but I get a lot of mine through the library because they have a decent collection that I can download from.


chucklesthescot I get all my free pdf stuff at Smashwords as I haven't got an ereader yet.

I get most of my audio books through my library. I signed up for Audible a while back but canceled it when the trial period was up. It seems expensive to me just to get one book a month...

All of my ebooks I get from Amazon. For physical books I use . It is a trade site.

Alex Stefansson (paradisesquandered) | 2 comments Smashwords has a lot of free eBooks, most of which you can download in any format.

I recently released a new edition of my book Paradise Squandered and changed the pricing on . The recommended purchase price is $2.99, but you can actually pay whatever you want--you can download it for free if you want.

As far as I know, no other book sites let authors do this. I actually first heard of the whole "name your own price" idea when Radiohead released their album "In Rainbows."

I'm really curious to see how readers respond to this concept, though. Have any of you ever seen another book priced like this?

Anna- Maria Butucescu | 8 comments FREE TODAY: Walk inside the mind of a NYC subway commuter...

Have you ever been on a train, bus, metro/subway -- or any other shared space with strangers -- and started to wonder what that person right next to you is thinking? Did you ever start to think or hope that maybe your temporary neighbor was somehow sharing your thoughts and/or desires? Ever sensed some sort of romantic connection or sexual tension and wished you could get into the individual's head, to know for sure?

"City Solipsism" will take you on a journey into the mind of one commuter on a New York City subway car, riding next to and thinking about a person standing awkwardly close...The man and woman are total strangers but their proximity is almost intimate, as their hands share the same metal subway pole...

Passion of an Angel (Shade of Light #1) by Suren Fant
A captivating, mystical and erotic story about the life before Earth. The first world was ideal, the first humans were immortal, everything was given to them to ensure a happy and endless future and life seemed to be going perfect. But there was a curious angel who changed the course of life.


Wrath of Michael (Shade of Light, #2) by Suren Fant
This is the continuation of the captivating and mystical story "Passion of an Angel". Time has passed since the first humans were banished from Garden of Eden onto Earth to create their own fate and they were given two choices - one from Heaven and the other from Hell. But the angel who has changed the course of life isn't going to stop here. For him, it isn't enough to seize life on Earth and he craves more. The love he once had for Eva has transformed into revenge to bring Heaven down.

Kimberley (kimberley_clark) 99 cents on Amazon for the entire month of March! The Species Within (Battles in the Dark, #1) by Kimberley Clark

Kira, a huntress plagued by dreams of fire and pain has worked tirelessly to rid her city of the scourge that has nearly destroyed it…nostvores, mythlend creatures with dark and vast appetites for blood and sex. She does this not only because they had killed so many people in her life, but also because she has an edge that no other human had…she has their abilities. The problem was, these abilities were killing her and she feared time was no longer on her side.

So the moment she found out that Darius, a nostvore leader was threatening to awaken an indestructible species to help him enslave all humans and mythlends, and that she may be the key to his plan, she knew her only choice was to risk her life with the little time that she had left and join her enemy to find out why, and to make sure his plan failed.

If that wasn’t dangerous enough, the more time she spends with the Vanatre nostvore Emmerich, and the mooran Kuron, who she brings with her for protection, the less she wants to kill them. Instead, she feels an unexplainable attraction towards them both, and she fears surrendering to such desire with either is a deadly game to play, for she would not only be risking her life, but quite possibly her heart.

My Brand new sexy PNR is FREE today on Amazon.com!

Unchained Melody by S.K. Munt



It’s not easy being an adopted, astraphobic ballet dancer from Canada, trying to make friends in a new country, but when eight year old Callie Clay saved the boy at the gorge on her first day in Horizon, she scored two best friends, a red baseball cap, and a reputation for being a risk-taking weirdo.
Eight years later, Hunter and Ryan had been given pamphlets on what to do when they started noticing girls, but nothing could have prepared them for the changes that came over their tomboy friend and so they handled it as hormonal teenage boys do; badly. One moment, they were a band on the precipice of their first big gig and the next, Callie is having a nervous breakdown and running naked into the eye of Cyclone Addison and when she returns, it's not as the sweet girl next door but a fallen goddess with only one purpose; to shatter one of the men she's trying desperately not to fall for, using the other, for the sake of The Harmony, and to save her own neck.

Take a trip back in time to when the music defined lives, the butterflies of first love consumed every thought and strap yourself in for a ride to Oblivion and back. Passion, anguish, sex, drugs and Rock’N Roll- Unchained Melody is an epic Paranormal Romance served with a pair of Doc Martens and a trip down Melody lane!

*Warning- Unchained Melody contains very adult themes.*

S.K. Munt (wordwhisperer) FREE from 5pm EST and 12.00 EST Saturday! HOT Rock 'N Roll PNR!!!


*Warning Unchained Melody contains Sex, Drugs and Rock 'N Roll*

From girl, to woman, to goddess....

January 1991

The new girl in town takes a chance, saves a life, and wins herself two best friends, a Red Sox hat and possibly, a band.

October 1998

Ryan and Hunter don't know how to handle themselves when their so called 'Tomboy' best friend begins to blossom into a goddess. So they handle it badly and suddenly, the Red Sox hat is on the ground and Callie had vanished naked into the eye of Cyclone Addison leaving them short for their first big gig and broken-hearted.

June 2004

Hunter and Ryan have finally recovered from the trauma of Callie's disappearance and are ready to take their music careers to the big-time when Callie returns. No longer the girl next door, but a banished goddess with a mission; to break the heart of one of the men who still love her, using the other, or die.

Set to an incredible playlist with heart-stopping twists and turns, Unchained Melody is a coming of age story that starts with innocence and ends in wicked desire, with a paranormal twist unlike no other that will have you singing, laughing, crying and hot under the collar!

Melissa Eisenmeier (carpelibrumbooks) Used bookstores! Many have cheapie books for $2-$3, compared to $10-$14 for trade paperbacks, and less for really popular books. The James Patterson and John Grisham books I have in the store go for twenty-five, fifty cents each.
Plus, most offer store credit/book swapping. Most of my paperbacks go for $3, and if you bring in certain books, or books by certain authors, like Judith Ryan Hendricks or Lauren Groff's books, I'll offer $2-$3 in store credit.
