I was a bit disappointed in the selection this month. None of them sounded interesting to me but I ended up with the book about the Russian female pilots in World War II. I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of it right now.
That was not a choice for me. I got something called Halsey Street. I haven’t been impressed with the las two or three. I’m not sure why I was offered a picture book either!
I went with A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea. This is not normally something I would pick, but 1) it fulfills a prompt on my 2017 Reading Challenge 2) it’s short and I’ve got 9 books to go before the end of the year (prolly not gonna make it – I thought it was only 6) and 3) it’s free so even if I don’t like it, I don’t feel I’m losing anything except a little time, but see 1 & 2, so it’s worth it. Oh, and 4) none of the others really appealed to me.
Also chose A River in Darkness. I’m currently reading (or trying to read) The Orphan Master’s Son for my library book group. Also North Korea but a novel along the same lines.
I chose Daughters of the Night Sky. I’m not really into historical fiction but figured i needed to st least try. I usually get the mystery or thriller books,so we shall see.?

I went with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

I picked Halsey Street also..
Its not what I would normally choose, but you can’t beat the price!
That wasn’t an option for me either.
I picked Halsey Street
I got A River in Darkness.
Is this the free books for prime members? I haven’t been taking advantage of this. Please remind me how to find the choices?
Me too. I can’t seem to find the correct place to go to sign up.

Do you need to be a prime member for Amazon Free Reads?
@Rebecca it doesn’t seem so. But I signed up and then when I clicked on a book that interested me, it was $5,69. So maybe I’m not doing it right
@Rebecca I believe so. Mine say “free to prime members” by the price.
I chose Halsey Street for the estranged mother daughter relationship (relatable)

Haven’t seen the email yet.
Ok, found it, and also picked A River in Darkness. Sounds interesting considering all the nonsense with missiles and N. Korea.
Yes that’s reason #5 – forgot to list!
Also chose A River in Darkness. I’m currently reading (or trying to read) The Orphan Master’s Son for my library book group. Also North Korea but a novel along the same lines.
I didn’t choose any…
Thinking of choosing A River In Darkness. We know so little about what transpires in that country
If you’re interested read Nothing to Envy. Excellent!
Glad you asked. I was wondering the same thing.
I choose A River in Darkness.
I chose Daughters of the Night Sky. I’m not really into historical fiction but figured i needed to st least try. I usually get the mystery or thriller books,so we shall see.?
What is Amazon First?
Answer question please.
I googled it. You get to pick 1 advanced copy/Title per month. I believe you need to be a prime member.
Members of Amazon Prime get one free book monthly from a selection of 4-6

Better by far than some months. I got one book free and 2 more at reduced cost. There was much to choose from.
