Dead in the Family NOT in Kindle format ?


Maybe I’ve been under a rock lately, but I was floored to see that the book (that I already pre-ordered for my Kindle) is no longer available! Apparently Penguin and Amazon can’t reach an agreement on eBook pricing leading to no new Penguin books in Kindle format being released as of April 1.

The hardback version of Dead in the Family is only $9.99 if you pre-order is right now… however the eBook version (that is still showing up in my Open Orders…) was $10.80. I gotta say that I will not be pleased if I’m charged more for a digital copy of a book than what the hardback costs. (Which reminds me… have you read Jennifer’s Were We Actually Promised Cheap eBooks? post because you should!).

    What Art Must Have Felt Like & Sookie Stackhouse Book Covers


    MondayMacy at 'All Things Said' blog talks about the great Sookie book cover art!

    This is another installment on my Sookie Stackhouse book obsession. :P I’m totally in love with the book covers and I haven’t been in love like this–on book covers! It’s art. It’s whimsical. It makes me dream. I think it perfectly captures the mystical world of Sookie Stackhouse. Not terrifying, but not ordinarily safe either. It’s not cartoon, but it’s not realism either. It’s magic. It’s love. If ever I have enough money, I will collect all her Sookie Stackhouse prints.
