I love getting by daily email of book bargains (: most days I end up downloading a free book, not quite sure I will get round to reading them all so I now have to be quite selective over my books.
Everyday there are some free recommendations and some which you have to pay for but are still a bargain. I only ever get the books which are free as there are that many books and not enough time to read them that I have to whittle down the list somehow.
I also only look at amazon as a retailer although there were most other common ebook sellers available to pick and you could pick multiple retailers. I always get a good selection so I assume the others are similar.
Overall just a brilliant idea and it saves me loads of time finding books to read as I get daily suggestions based on the genre preferences (: seriously if you read then sign up now!!

Otway93 (580 KP) rated The War of the Worlds in TV
Apr 19, 2020
Unfortunately, I, and my entire family were disappointed.
It's quite hard to review this without spoilers, as the main issue here is really the story, which has been so drawn out and distorted from it is no longer the story I know and love, but a show merely "based on" the book.
There are several critical differences in this story and the original story:
- The fates of different characters.
- The addition of pointless characters.
- The slow, intense reveal of the Martian invaders.
Despite these differences, the show could still have been enjoyable if it was not so drawn out. Without all the filler content, the whole thing could easily have been wrapped up into a much better 90 minute TV movie. Instead, the BBC drew it out in to 3 3 hour episodes that could bore the hind AND FRONT legs off a donkey.
