What’s better than a free e-book? A DRM-free free ebook 🙂 Good until February 15 (2018) at 11:59pm eastern time, you can get the first book in the long “Wheel of Time” fantasy book series by Robert Jordan and his friends by simply giving your email to Tor. This is part of their recurring eBook Club. The offer is available to those in the US and Canada (those darned scattered book rights around the globe).
If you are getting on-board the “Attack On Titan” anime and manga hype train, with Season 3 officially scheduled to come out at some point in 2018, and you like reading big books, there is a sale on the Second “Colossal Edition” of Attack On Titan. This is print, not digital, in paperback, currently on sale for the very specific price of $30.58 with free shipping by Amazon actual.
The “Colossal” editions are groups of five volumes each. Colossal #1 features Volumes #1 through #5. This one (Colossal #2) features Volumes #6 to #10, Colossal #3 is Volumes #11 through #15, and so forth. They are not joking with the names ~ they are over 900 pages each! They are printed on 7 x 10.5 inch paper! Shipping weight is over 4.5 lbs.
If you watched the anime show (Season 1 is on Netflix; both seasons are Yahoo View which you can watch for FREE with Ads, and without the need to create an account), or are just curious, here are the steps to get started with it ~ to see if this is something you’d like:
After this point, if you want to read Volume #4 and later, you have to buy each manga chapter or Volume or Colossal individually, or subscribe to a manga/anime service, or use a legitimate manga reading website that is ad-sponsored.
Since the Colossal #2 mentioned above begins with Volume #6, you’d only need to find/buy Volumes #4 and #5, and then read the Colossal #2 which is on sale.
This can make for an ice gift set for kids of all ages, or even as a donation at a local school or church or non-profit. It is a Book Boxed Set, all five books, the The Heroes of Olympus Paperback Boxed Set, going for $24.95 at amazon.com. Free shipping for Prime members. If you are not a Prime member, you need to add a filler item of $0.05 or more to get the $25+ books free shipping promotion.
The price is such that the Kindle ebooks go for $40, while the actual physical paperback books go for less 🙂 The books themselves average 4.8 out of 5 based on almost 300 customer reviews. I haven’t read them as I’m many centuries away from the YA demographic 🙂
This book had been stubborn at $30, but we finally have some Prime-eligible discounts, it is the new illustrated hardcover edition of Book #1 of “Game Of Thrones” by George R. R. Martin. The current price is around $22 by a marketplace seller, in new condition, that is Prime eligible.
NOTE: Amazon has made a change recently. Before, they (Amazon actual) were the only ones that would get featured for books. Now, they have opened it up, and marketplace sellers can also get the spotlight position for books. This one is one such example. So pay attention to book listings as if they are listings of any other physical good sold at Amazon!
The paperback edition of Patrick Rothfuss’s story “The Slow Regard of Silent Things” is now down to $5.27 at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is significantly less than the Kindle version, and if you are a Prime member, you get free shipping on the book even if you don’t buy anything else! This is not a lightning deal, so the price can fluctuate at any point in time.
SPOILER ALERT: this is a 176-page book, it is part of the Kingkiller Chronicle, and it is *SPOILER ALERT* the story of Auri. I haven’t read this book yet, but I just bought it 🙂
