The choices for January 2016 are mostly beginnings of new book series, four out of six of them are so. Here’s the list:

  • “Harmony Black (Harmony Black Series Book 1)” by Craig Schaefer in Fantasy/Supernatural
  • “The Oddfits (The Oddfits Series Book 1)” by Tiffany Tsao in Literary Fantasy
  • “Fields of Wrath (Luis Chavez Book 1)” in Mysteries
  • “Captain Riley (The Captain Riley Adventures Book 1)” by Fernando Gamboa and Alexander Woodend in Action Adventures
  • “Becoming Marta” by Lorea Canales and Gabriel Amor in Literary Fiction
  • “The Moonlit Garden” by Corina Bomann and Alison Layland in Contemporary Fiction

Strategically, if none of those choices call out to you immediately, wait for a few more days until they pick up more reviews. Since they are pre-release, they start with zero reviews and pile them on as the days go by.

Almost all of these ebooks ends up in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a subscriber to that service, you can read all six of them starting February 1st, 2016.

Personally I am picking “Oddfits” because a number of reviews find it odd and unusual, and I’d rather risk reading something different than reading yet another formulaic book 🙂 But that’s just me…

You can find all these selections at the Kindle First page. Keep in mind the selections change every month, so if you look at that page after January 31st (2016), you will see a different set of e-books.
