THE HARVARD MAN. He is brilliant, possessing intelligence most would classify as genius, and he has always believed he was destined for Harvard University. However, there is a flaw. He is also mentally unstable, a psychopath with violent tendencies. Harvard has rejected his application.

Five Great Reads for Under Three Bucks Each!

Resilience: The New Afterword - $1.59

By Elizabeth Edwards

Entitled "The Next Chapter," this is the new, perhaps more honest addition for the paperback release of her bestselling "tell-some."

Mated (Blood Lust, novella 3)-$1.99

by Zoe Winters

The New Yorker - $2.99/Month with 14-day free trial

Get the 14-day free trial and read Megan O'Rourke's appraisal of Anne Carson's career as an author, pegged on a review of her new book Nox. For me it was one of those instances where you read a review and feel like you've had dinner with the author herself and read every word she's written.

The List by Joe Konrath - $1.59 - Technothriller

THE LIST is a bit of a departure for Konrath. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who each have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why. One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of these strange tattoos since birth. When he investigates a violent murder and discovers the victim also has a tattooed number, it sets the ball rolling for an adventure of historic proportions. To say more would give away too much.
Like the Jack Daniels series, THE LIST combines laugh out loud humor with serious suspense and thrills. Also contains bonus material:

An excerpt from SUCKERS by J.A. Konrath and Jeff Strand.
An excerpt from THE WALK by Lee Goldberg.
An excerpt from IDENTITY CRISIS by Debbi Mack.
An excerpt from FRAME-UP by Eric Christopherson and Brad Schoenfeld.

Girl on Fire by Rena Diane Walmsley - $2.99 - Erotica

Looking for love in all the right places? Not Alicia Wentworth, the enchantingly frisky teenaged heiress at the heart of Rena Diane Walmsley's debut memoir-as-novel. Alicia escapes from her privileged, sheltered life at an elite Concord, Massachusetts boarding school and pulls a "visiting room switch" to break in to a nearby state prison so she can rendezvous with Teddy Lake, an exquisitely chiseled 21-year-old Native American convict for whom she has fallen hard while volunteering in a creative writing class for inmates. But Alicia is left alone and vulnerable when Teddy is hauled off to solitary, and she must reach deep within herself to concoct a gritty and initially degrading scheme to blackmail the prison system into freeing them both. This deliciously literate debut is framed by Alicia's present-day perspective as "a respectable thirty-something Unitarian minister" in a suburb west of Boston: while she is cognizant of the scars she wears from her early experiences, she is also engaged by a sense of something sacred therein that informs her daily life years later. Not all coming-of-age novels are alike, and not every thirty-something narrator is able to cast an unflinching eye on the choices she made and the chances she took at the cusp of adulthood. But Walmsley's unique novel-as-memoir never blinks, and her stunning sexual description breaks new narrative ground on age-old but ever-engaging terrain. Women and men alike will be enchanted and enriched by their journeys through her ultimately cautionary web of words. Rena Diane Walmsley lives with her family in Massachusetts, the state that she represented in the Miss America pageant when she was nineteen. Girl on Fire is her first novel.
