I got this deal in my email today and thought I'd pass it on in case any of you were looking at an ereader tablet. I just saw a comparison "prize fight" between Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet on cnet.com (embedded below) and both were comparable, although Nook Tablet came out a little ahead.

Harriet by Joan Mellows My rating: 5 of 5 stars Joan Mellows is probably one of my favorite traditional Regency authors. Her writing style in this book is similar to Jane Austen's (witty but sometimes long sentences), and the characters are very likable. Harriet is strong-willed but soft-hearted and the hero is tortured and passionate without being cliche. A very entertaining, engaging read. View all my reviews

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.01.2012 So here’s a weird phenomenon. There are a bunch of free thriller books available today on Kindle but I’m not a huge fan of secular thriller because many of them tend to get a little more gristly than I like. I looked at the book blurbs, but they were mostly serial killer type of thrillers, which do tend to get bloody. So I am actually not downloading free ebooks! I can’t believe it! But it also got me to thinking. These days there are so many free ebooks that people can start to pick and choose which free ebooks to download. Isn’t that a strange thing? Before, I’d be snatching up almost any free ebook available because, well, it’s free . Now, I’m like, “Thrillers, eh. I read them but not my favorite genre. I’ll pass.” I probably should have had this mentality for some of the other free ebooks I downloaded in the past, because I wouldn’t have so many ebooks that I probably won’t ever read. Then again, they don’t take up space in my ho...

Camy here: Here's another book I added to my Street Team book giveaway list! You can win this book by joining my Street Team-- Click here for more info! Falling for the Fireman by Allie Pleiter There's something achingly familiar about the look in fire marshal Chad Owens's eyes. Widowed mom Jeannie Nelworth knows firsthand what it is: loss, hurt and yes—bitterness. Ever since the fire that changed their lives, Jeannie's young son has borne that same look, pushing everyone away. So she's grateful when Chad tries to get through to the boy with the help of his trusty fire station dog. But the man who's all about safety and prevention keeps himself protected—from loving and losing again. Seems as if Jeannie will have to add his kind, guarded heart to her rebuilding efforts. And now, here's Allie! I’m not sure I buy into the concept of a universal consciousness, but every once in a while the world lines up in a way that makes you wonder if the Holy Sp...

Some of you have been asking about it, so here it is! Available at retail stores this month only, and some online stores will have it for a few months longer, or order it on ebook (see links below). Stalker in the Shadows by Camy Tang "Consider this a warning." Lately, nurse Monica Grant feels she's being watched. Followed. And then she receives a threatening letter—accompanied by a dead snake. If she doesn't stop her plans to open a free children's clinic, she'll end up dead, too. Terrified, Monica turns to former lawman Shaun O'Neill—who believes the same madman murdered his own sister five years before. She understands how much it means to the handsome, heart-guarding man to save her—and her dream. Even if he has to lure a deadly stalker out of the shadows—straight toward himself. Excerpt of chapter one: Someone was watching her. Monica Grant glanced around the bustling central plaza in downtown Sonoma, California, and rubbed the back o...

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.11.2012 I know I just posted about this but I read this post by Danica Favorite and am inspired to challenge myself with new reading goals this year. 1) Read the 4 Love Inspired Suspense novels each month. I should be doing this already, but I’ve been bad about keeping up with them. I’ll usually only read two Love Inspired Suspense novels each month, and after looking at my book catalog, I realized that I’ve been reading all backlist books, not current ones. So I will be trying to read all current Love Inspired Suspense novels each month. 2) Start at least one new-to-me author each month. I copied this straight from Danica because I think it’s a fantastic idea. I also recently lamented on Facebook and Twitter that I had a ton of free ebooks on my Nook but I never seem to get around to reading them. Well, here’s my chance, because most of the free ebooks I get are new-to-me authors whose books I got for free because I wanted to try them. 3) Star...
