Some great bargains this year.

Max Hasting's Bomber Command is only 99p for example.
Well worth a look, I've bought a dozen or so already this morning. 😯

"The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase" looks good!

Cheers for the heads up!

🙂

In the last half hour I appear to have bought;

Filthy English: The How, Why, When And What Of Everyday Swearing by
Peter Silverton.

Military Blunders by Saul David.

Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson.

and

The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll through the Hidden Connections of the English Language by Mark Forsyth, which was excellent as a BOTW on Radio 4 some time ago.

Enough for today I reckon. 😀

Post the link RS. I'm too lazy to search.

You don't DESERVE nice things.
Send me your Amazon password & I'll buy them for you shall I?

😀

Just type '12 days of Kindle' into your browser.
You can copy and paste if you like.

I don't know how to link to Amazon without linking to a specific account.

Right, you Kindle experts, who can help pretty please?

My new e-book is text only apart from tables with figures and words and they're in tiny tiny print. If I make text bigger then the tables don't change. Short of keeping a magnifying glass by my side, is there anything I can do?

Thanks in anticipation. 🙂

Hold it closer to your face?

I don't know TBH. On my Kindle you can adjust font size and line spacing and so on, but I don't know as there's a 'zoom' as such. Can you select the table and click-to-zoom? (I'm 99% sure I can do that with images.)

"Cooking with Poo" 😆

Hey, am I allowed to be sensible? Is a Kindle "Single" like a short story?
Just bought a Chuck Palahniuk one for 32p. He's my favouritest writer.

Thanks for the heads up!

8 books bought for £12.01! - 7 of them through the 12 days of Kindle thing and another that is the first in the series of one of the 12 days of Kindle books - that one alone was £3.49 so really blew the budget! 😀

I went for:

American Assassin - Vince Flynn (non 12days, but prequel to...)
Killshot - Vince Flynn
Being Wrong: Adventures in the margin of error
Hitler's war on Russia
Bomber Command
I should know that: Great Britain
Military Blunders
Meeting in No Mans Land.....

Better go and put the wi-fi's on my Kindle!!

edit - Oh, and just bought Snapshot by Craig Robertson too!!
