Cheap E-Books - sometimes FREE

I subscribe to 3 cheap e-book newsletters that arrive, unbidden, in my inbox every morning.  Most of the books are older and for adults. Newer books show up, as well as books for younger readers.  Every week, you can also download classics for very little money and often for free.  I load up my reader before going on vacation and I have good stuff to read while lounging by the pool. 
I recently downloaded a book by John Bellairs and Brad Strickland, The Drum, the Doll and the Zombie.  

I don't usually read horror, but when I do, I read John Bellairs (or Brad Strickland).

  ANYWAY, here are the three newsletters I mentioned above.

Early Bird Books - gives you the option to purchase the books (usually $2.99 or less - sometimes FREE) from several vendors. 

Bookbub - sells through Barnes & Noble and Google.  Prices hover around $1.

Riffle - several vendors - although sometimes books are only available through Amazon -, low prices and a community as well.   I find more YA books posted on Riffle than on the other sites.

NOTE:  You must buy the featured books on that day.  The books revert to their regular price the following day - usually around $10.

Vampyres of Vegas??

I'm getting ready for next week's book review session at the Allentown Public Library (a big shout out to Renee Haines, hard working director!), and I found a reference to Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas by Michael Scott on my Books I Want to Read list.  (This link is to the unedited version of this list - which is way too long - and in no danger of getting shorter.)  Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas is an e-book exclusive, which means I could purchase it for my Nook.  Hmmm. 

How are vampyres different from vampires?  Hmmm?

The list of books I want to read is sort of depressing.  I  don't spend enough time in libraries and bookstores, I guess.  I should take advantage of the immediacy of my e-reader but I STILL haven't figured out how to download borrowed books and e-galleys from my iMac to my Nook.  Note to self:  Clear calendar and DO this!

Well enough about ME!  Check out the latest installment in the Alchemist series (also known as The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) on your e-reader of choice!
