So today is Make a difference day in the US. And since it is, I figured I would just post a link round up.
Better World Books sells used books, and donates a portion of the proceeds to literacy charities.
Kiva is a microloan site, which lets you lend money to small start ups. ( I think it is 25 dollar, and you always get your money back)
The bargains I am excited about right now is at Sony. I haven’t bought anything from Sony, just downloaded freebies, but I think that will change. ;).
Anyway, they have to ongoing campaigns right now. The first one is Fall in love with a series, which Amazon is price matching. It is mostly romance, but I am excited, since several of the books are on my Wishlist.
The second is in their newsletter, and it is a hodgepodge of genres.
Oh. They have a third campaign: Buy 6 books, get one for free. You can read more here.

I got an e-mail from Samhain, telling me that they have a 30% off code ( coupon: TRICKORTREAT) on the following 8 e-books. Unless something has changed, this stacks on top of the new release discount, which means 60 percent off.

For me, autumn means I want to curl up on the coach and read mysteries. And, the publishers are appearantly reading my mind this week.
Right now, the first three books in Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily’s series are discounted to 1.99 at Amazon. ( That price, in combination that Amazon didn’t add Whispernet fees, was enough for me to snap up the first one.)
Joss Alexander’s Tainted Innocence is discounted to 1.99 at Carina Press, until September ends. This is another one I plan to buy.
Still Life with Murder by P.B Ryan is free at both Amazon and Smashwords. ( I have this one, I have started to read it several times, but I never finished it.)
Kobo has very nice round up of novellas, and short stories here, priced between 0.99-2.99. I am tempted to buy some, but I probably wont since I am trying to purchase less e-books.
Amazon offers 100 e-books for 3.99 this month. The romance e-books sounds quite interesting, but the one I really want is in Fantasy.. I might actually buy something from Amazon, instead of just downloading freebies.
Poisoned Pen press offers several of their books for free right now. (If one of the books isn’t free, price report it.)
And, since I am weak I signed up for Samhain’s newsletter ( I love coupon codes). Speaking of Samhain, their current Book club selection is Blaze of Glory by Sheryl Nantus. Today is the last day.
I normally don’t post deals on Sundays, but when I discovered this deal I decided to make an exception.
Amazon offers Susan Mallery, Debbie Macomber and other bestselling romance authors for 1.99 each. This deal is today only. And the best part? No pesky Whispernet fees for those of you who lives in Europe..
Books for Soldiers is a charity organisation that ships books to soldiers deployed overseas. Right now, they have an end of summer campaign running. If you donate 5 dollar, the donation will be matched so the 5 dollar becomes 10 dollar.
You can read more about them and their goals here.
Readers for life is RWA’s annual signing. The signing takes place during RWA Nationals, and is free of admission. Since the proceeds goes to charity, they sell the books to be signed at the signing.
This year the proceeds from the book sales go to ProLiteracy Worldwide, Read Orange County, and Literacy Volunteers—Huntington Valley.
If you like me cannot visit the convention, I urge you to find another way to support the organisations.
This is an anthology were all the profit will be donated to Breast Cancer research. You can read more about why they wrote the anthology here.
The anthology will only be available for a limited time, so I encourage you to buy it as soon as possible.
