Sorry for disappearing for a while, there! I’ve decided to try something new over at Blogger. Individual posts were taking me so long to format and write that I’ve switched to daily digests, with the books sorted by genre and store (basically). It’s maybe not as fancy as the posts here were, but I think it’ll work.
So, come check out the new Free and Cheap Reads blog! There are some really good deals up right now— an approximate savings of about $100 or so! Yay!
There’s a new Fictionwise coupon for 35% off: 090911
Good until 9/12 (MAYBE 9/15 if you’re lucky).
