Current hardcover price $14.99; paperback price $6.00. Digital List price was set at $11.99. This Kindle book is published by Zondervan with a displayed date of March 10, as a free Kindle book promo, I guess. As with so many of Amazon's faster-selling Kindle books lately, this is labeled Christian Fiction. It's about two who decide to make a feature film in Hollywood and their travails with that process. There aren't any external newspaper reviews cited though.

Young adult novels, fantasy genre. Her Ink Exchange for Harper Collins received a positive review by The Washington Post's Mary Quattlebaum: "As the sequel to last year's popular Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange is even more compelling, thanks to Melissa Marr's more nuanced characterizations..."
HarperCollins is putting a lot of teen-market money behind Marr. See the video they've produced.

There's also a page of links that confine searches to mid-range priced e-books.

ReplyDeletemomable,
ReplyDeleteMost welcome! I'm glad to see HarperCollins doing this since they were so supportive of Macmillan's "Agency" plan. But it's wise, and good for us.
