My top picks of the Kindle Autumn Sale 2017

Well I must be on another planet recently, or at least incredibly busy with Rachel's Random Resources as it was only while scrolling twitter that I realised the Autumn Kindle sale had started. I had been looking out for it for most of the week wondering where it was, and even today I didn't twig that the graphic with the autumn leaf just saying books for 99p was the sale graphic. Forgive me I need it bright flashing lights! 

But I have done all the sales so far this year, so I may as well take a look at this one even though the autumn sales tend to have books that scare me, hopefully there will be a few picks. Advance warning unless the 12 Days of Christmas sale starts as early as 14th/15th December you will be on your own, as I will be on holiday over Christmas! 

There appears to be 450 books in this sale so sit back while I try and work out what I can recommend from it. Or if you want a browse for yourself here's a link to it! 

Take advantage at these prices as they won't last forever! 

Please note the sale ends on 12th November 2017, so if you are reading this after that date, then please double check the price, before you purchase, and since I am in England, this is the UK Amazon Autumn Sale, other regions may have different sales, and definitely different prices!


Top Picks That I Have Reviewed




Books on my review stack that I really am looking forward to reading! (Lol I had 6 on my previous sale picks in this category and still have only read 3)


Books I've purchased from the sale..so with my current reading patterns may appear in a random vote feature at some point!


The Snow Rose by Lulu Taylor - £1.09 -  I do tend to love Lulu Taylor books when I read them, but I've only read one since the slight change in style and move to these wintery looking books. 
Secrets by Debbie Viggiano - 99p - I read one of Debbie's books earlier in the year and definitely want to read more, so might as well add this to my TBR!
Mad by Chloe Esposito - 99p - I met Chloe at an event earlier this year and she managed to persuade me that I would enjoy her book. Of course I forgot to actually buy it until just now! 
Follow You Home by Mark Edwards - 99p - Just read the blurb and this feels like a really tempting book and one that could get under your skin. Just a note there are other books by Mark Edwards in this sale too if you are a fan but not read them all, I just thought i would start with one. 
In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware - 99p - I bought The Woman in Cabin 10 a while back but too scared to read it incase it puts me off cruising, so maybe this one will jump open on my kindle for attention sooner! 

There were also a large number of books in this sale that I have purchased in the past and still not read as I never seem to get a chance to read my own books outside of the weekly vote and any other features I do. Also plenty of books in the sale that I read in the years before I was blogging that I would love to recommend but then this post would get really long! 

If you are a fan of thrillers this is probably the best sale of the year for you, as there are so many of them in it, more than worth a look. 

So have you been tempted by any of these picks? What are your own recommendations from the sale? I'd love to hear from you.

My top picks of the Kindle Summer Sale 2017

I know at the start of the week I explained just how busy I am, but I also spotted a bunch of price drop notifications yesterday and realised that the Kindle Summer Sale would soon be upon us. Woke up this morning had a check, and here it is. 

Now for some reason I'm really excited to look through this sale as I love Summery books and they often have lots of titles that I am interested in. 

Wow there are over 600 books in this sale, so I'll do the hunting for you! Of course if you want a browse for yourself, the sale can be found here

Take advantage at these prices as they won't last forever! 

Please note the sale ends on 31st August 2017, so if you are reading this after that date, then please double check the price, before you purchase, and since I am in England, this is the UK Amazon Summer Sale, other regions may have different sales, and definitely different prices!



Top Picks That I Have Reviewed







Books on my review stack that I really am looking forward to reading! 




Books I've purchased from the sale..so with my current reading patterns may appear in a random vote feature at some point!
Ever since I first spotted this released in 4 parts I had been hoping for a full version. This is one of the books that I am really looking forward to and if I remember hope to read on my holiday. 
Lyrebird by Cecelia Ahern - £1.99
Always tend to enjoy Cecelia's books so figure I may as well buy the newest one 

There are so many other books I could have included, many of which I read years before I was blogging, or that I have been meaning to read for ages, but I just don't have much to say about them, my memory is bad, and I can only spend so long writing this, so hopefully you will like what I have highlighted from this sale. 

I can't urge you enough that if you want to fill your kindle for your summer holiday, or generally just want to pick up some top bargains, to take a look at the whole of this sale. I would love to know what you think. 

Have you bought any books from the sale? Did I miss anything obvious that I should be buying?

My 12 Days of Kindle Sale Picks

I hope everyone had a good day yesterday for Christmas. 

I'm always a fan of the larger Kindle sales, and the new 12 Days of Kindle sale has already been running for a few days, but I really refuse to acknowledge sales at this time of year until Boxing Day, as that is the traditional sale start date, and of course it always helps that having some Christmas money in your pocket makes a sale more interesting!

I am going to pick out from the 440 books in the sale, the ones that have caught my eye for whatever reason, and will split them into a few categories for you!

Take advantage at these prices as they won't last forever! 

Please note the sale ends on 3rd January 2017, so if you are reading this after that date, then please double check the price, before you purchase, and since I am in England, this is the UK Amazon 12 Days of Kindle Sale, other regions may have different sales, and definitely different prices!

Would Like To Meet by Polly James - 99p - I admit to being a bad blogger when it comes to this book, it has been on my radar and review pile since before its release, and I still haven't read it. I will though!
Seven Years Bad Sex by Nicky Wells - 99p - Bought this a while ago, and still hoping to fit in reading it at some point. It has such a great title. 
I'll Take New York by Miranda Dickinson - 99p - Apparently this is the only book by Miranda Dickinson that I still haven't read

Books I've purchased from the sale..so with my current reading patterns may appear in a random vote feature at some point! 




There are quite a few other books in the sale that I would also recommend but some of them I read so long before I started blogging, I wouldn't trust myself to give an accurate opinion on them still. There are plenty of great looking books in this sale and I hope you enjoy browsing it for yourselves. 

Have you gone with any of my picks, or what have you purchased?

The Chocolate Lovers Wedding by Carole Matthews - 99p - 5 Stars - I read this a few months ago but due to finishing the book at 2am after no being able to put it down at all, I chose not to write a review. It is a fabulous next addition to the Chocolate Lovers series and I remember smiling a lot while reading it.

Lucy in the Sky & One Perfect Summer by Paige Toon - 99p each - Two of Paige Toon's remarkable back catalogue. I remember reading Lucy in the Sky while on a flight somewhere and loving it. 
Summer of Love by Katie Fforde - £1,99 - A typically brilliant book by Katie Fforde that gives a warm cosy feeling while reading it


Top picks that I own and am looking forward to reading (eventually, when I ever find the time to!)

My May Madness Kindle Sale Picks

I have just been browsing through the newly posted May Madness Kindle sale, and have been amazed at the amount of fantastic bargains there are in it this time. Unfortunately on a personal level there was nothing that caught my eye to buy, but that may be because I already have read or own all the ones I generally would be interested in in the sale. 

However, always happy to help out especially when I've suddenly had a burst of energy to create a post, so here are my picks of this sale. Take advantage at these prices as they won't last forever! 

Please note the sale ends on 22nd May 2016, so if you are reading this after that date, then please double check the price, before you purchase, and since I am in England, this is the UK Amazon May Madness Kindle Sale, other regions may have different sales, and definitely different prices!

My picks of the Amazon UK Autumn Kindle Sale

I love it when Amazon put on a new Kindle sale. I always rush to look at it, and usually end up with 10+ new books. However this time, with the sale that started yesterday, I went through and there was only 1 title that jumped at me to buy, as most of the books that would normally interest me I already either own or have read. 

So I figured I would share some of the bargains that are available, as I would hate for anyone to miss out on a good book at a good price. 

Please note the sale ends on 9th November 2015, so if you are reading this after that date, then please double check the price, before you purchase, and since I am in England, this is the UK Amazon Kindle Sale, other regions may have different sales, and definitely different prices!

I am splitting my picks into 2 categories - Those I have reviewed on the blog, and those that I read before I became a blogger but loved!

My Top 5 books featured on Rachel's Random Reads in the Autumn Kindle Sale




My Top 5 books I have read before I started blogging



The Guestbook by Holly Martin - 99p - I read this on holiday recently and loved it. Such a different way of telling a story, which really works
Christmas at Tiffanys by Karen Swan - 99p - Very popular book that now has a sequel. Definitely a great Christmas book to read at this time of year. 
Recipe for Love by Katie Fforde - £1,99 - I love Katie Fforde books and this one features a cookery competition!
What Happens in Tuscany by T.A. Williams - 99p - Fantastically fun read, that left me with a smile on my face throughout. and is a wondeful story about love, and friendship.
The Girl's Guide to Falling in Love by Sophie Hart - Book that shows how much fun Sex Therapy can be!

And if you were wondering the book I bought was Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr for a reasonable 99p, purely because with a title like that it feels like it has to be made for me!

Hope this gives you some fresh ideas for bargain books to pick up this month.
