Feed Your E-Reader

(mostly) weekly campfire

Please post all the fabulous deals you've found this week. And if you pick up a book from a comment inside, please let your fellow campers know you did.

This CF is open to all genres and all book deals.

And don't forget to feed the trees, yeah?

This is the last Deals CF for this year, most likely, so get yours while you can. 

Good morning, everyone!

Sorry for the late CF, I've been very sick this week and between work and family obligations, have been exhausted.

Today, let's get to know each other a little bit better.

We are going to do a Holiday version of questions. 

Feel free to post pictures of your holiday trees, decor, card collection etc as well.

Here are our questions:

1. Name/screen name

2. It's catalog time--what's your favorite catalog?  Which catalog is the one you can't resist looking at right away? Which one(s) go straight in the recycle bin?

3. What's your favorite Holiday song? 

And which ones are the ones you can't stand, that get stuck in your head while you're trying to sleep at 3 am?

4. Fave holiday movie?

5. Fave holiday novel, children's book or picture book?

6. Fave Holiday-themed Fanfiction?

(There's all those Under the Mistletoe Contest entries that I've started reading! though I think it's too late for voting.....)

7. Finally, what's one of your favorite holiday memories, traditions or stories?

(Sorry I can't add graphics or photos.  Can't figure out what's going on with my photobucket.  I'll edit it later if I figure things out.)

TV and comics, pretty simple, folks.

Discuss.

Came Upon a Midnight Clear by staceleo
Love comes to Miss Swan unexpectedly during the holidays. This is for Suebee to make her smile.

I love the holiday stories that pop up at this time of year! This is no exception!  Christmasward!

Lies Destroy by awish0921
Edward Masen's future, for all intents & purposes, was as bright as the sun. He had everything, a home, parents that loved him, girls falling all over him, law school on the horizon, then with a single twist of fate, it all came crashing down making Edward question everything he's ever known. AH/EPOV.

Edward has a shocking bombshell dropped on him and heads to Forks to find some answers.  Loving the start of this one.

Summer's Hidden Melody by winterhorses
One band. Two college graduates. Twenty-four concerts. Bella and Rosalie spend an unforgettable summer following their favorite band on tour. When Bella catches the eye of charismatic lead singer Anthony Cullen, she's in for an incredible ride. But the two don't always get along in harmony, and Bella wonders if her long-held ideal really is the perfect one for her.

E & B shippers...tough this one out.  The surprise end is soooo worth it.  Marked as complete, but she says Part 2 is coming.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Yosemite Decimal by MagTwi78
Bella has nailed her dream job as Seattle Times' newest Outdoors writer. She's found new friends and is settling into life in her new city. Things are coming together for her, but an arrogant stranger sends her reeling at every turn. Will her new life be as comfortable as she'd hoped, or is she set for a rocky ride? AH B&E M COMPLETE

This is one where I learned a lot about climbing, bouldering, etc.  Not that my lazy a$$ would ever do it.

The Red Coats by ericastwilight
She loves the holidays. He loathes them. As new neighbors, they have to learn to tolerate each other. The problem for Edward is that she's irresistible in red. Can she bring the Grinch around in time to save him from a lonely New Year?

This is one of my favorite Christmas stories from last year.

Thanks as always for your support and feedback!
 

Fic Dive of the Month
November 2014

Congrats to these Top Five Faves that will move on to the Fic Dive of the Year in July!

Please note: Tomorrow's Fic Dive may be delayed until Wednesday, or maybe later tonight.  It's my work holiday party tomorrow, so I may not get it together.

Gothic by author-self-insert
Ten years ago, Edward was accused of murder and Bella was his alibi. Now, the murder remains unsolved and Bella hates Edward. Can a penchant for gothic mystery, a hearty dose of lingering hostility and the desire for a clean conscience really be enough to right old wrongs?

Nightmare Before Christmas by LyricalKris
When Edward's son died, he took Edward's heart and soul with him. Even a decade of mourning didn't seem good enough. But then, Edward met college student Bella who thrived despite her own tragedy. Can Edward's cold, dead heart beat again?

Somewhere Between Nothing and Everything by myotherlife
Federal prosecutor Bella Swan is already standing on the precipice of a dark abyss when her world is thrown into madness. Struggling for a lifeline, the reemergence of a man she vowed never to trust again will change everything. Life and death. Love and hate. In the middle of obscurity, what is the cost of redemption?

Evolution by deviant bamboo Twilight
Given all of our current theories on evolution and natural selection, we have never come close to explaining the large leaps that some species are able to achieve...until now. Until HER.

No Complications by heyamber
Bella and Edward, best friends for more than a decade, encounter a sudden change in their relationship when Edward becomes curious. When he asks for no complications, Bella agrees. The only thing is that it does get complicated.

This month since it is the holidays, why don't we do the following:
