Big Girls Panties and other nice things

http://www.kialta.us/books-blog/specials-for-today-january-11-2016-big-girls-panties-and-other-nice-things

Adult romance books by Stephanie Evanovich

Time for a bit of romance - something we all need every now and then. Stephanie Evanovich's 3 novels follow the journey of Holly, a widow and rather large. Off to the gym, meet a guy, get sexy and skinny at the same time. 

These are on the Specials list because they're a bit controversial - big girls feeling they need to lose weight, big strong men saving the day etc, but the latest novel by Stephanie has received some good reviews - perhaps because in The Total Package, it's the man who is in trouble. At least he isn't getting is backside smacked (see the comments below about The Sweet Spot).



Big Girl Panties is available on amazon.combookdepositoryfishpond.com.aueBooks.com and abebooks.co.uk

Specials for Today: January 10 2016

Karen Millward Books, Bantry,Co.Cork., Ireland

For today, we're highlighting a book seller - Karen Millward Books, who sells great used books through abebooks.co.uk.

If you follow the link to the abebooks.co.uk site for Karen Millward Books, you will be taken to a page where you can search for a specific book, or lower down the page are the Catalogues. If you have a particular topic in mind, clicking the link will open a page where Karen Millward advertises her books. I had a look in the Autobiography/Biography Catalogue, and books were being sold from £ 2

They do charge shipping, but if you buy a few, it makes it cost effective.

I think it's fantastic to shop at smaller bookshops/sellers, even if it is via large sellers like abebooks.co.uk - they have to have a presence on the internet, and for the commission they have access to the whole world, which is why I thought to highlight one today.

Have a great day.

Into the Face of the Devil: A Love Story from the California Gold Rush by John Rose Putnam

http://www.kialta.us/books-blog/into-the-face-of-the-devil

A bit of historical/love interest fiction for you. We've been highlighting a lot of thriller/mystery books, so it's time for something more loving. With guns. A Western love thing. 



When Lacey showed up in the gold rush boom town of Hangtown where Tom helped in the cafe, he was smitten. About the only pretty girl in the whole of gold country she was looking for a Pa who'd come to the mines and disappeared. Tom had to help her, but as soon as he did somebody shot at him and things went south in a hurry. Then he learned that Lacey's Pa was an important officer in the army who'd been working undercover in San Francisco during the Mexican War and he knew he'd stuck his nose deep into the evil skulduggery of some pretty bad men. If he didn't find her pa soon the next goose cooked would be his. That notion chilled him to the bone.

    Highlighting eBooks.com and their eBooks


    Today, I'm mentioning eBooks.com because eBooks are a cheaper way of getting your favourite reads. I don't mind reading an eBook, although I prefer paper in my hand than a computer/eReader. Being a perpetual student, I have hundreds (pushing 1000, easy) eBooks, mainly in higher education - philosophy, sociology, memory, workplace health and safety are my things - and with the right software, it's easy.
