I really wanted to like something on the lists this month but I couldn't find anything that interested me.

I picked up Going Vintage. I read about it somewhere recently. Other than that there is nothing that I want to pay for.

I picked up Dragon's Triangle. It sounded good enough, for free.

I didn't see that one in there, but Lindsey Leavitt is really sweet and she writes such simple, powerful stories. I read Sean Griswold's Head a few years ago and it really blew me away despite being something I wouldn't normally pick up.

I bought The Rope: An Anna Pigeon Novel by Nevada Barr. I love this series. They're about a female park ranger in law enforcement and each one takes place at a different national park.

I have been meaning to read this series! I have one of the books but can never get my hands on the first one. I am afraid it won't be as awesome as I want it to be ( that was my dream job growing up all the way through college. Mh works in a similar job.) I have such high hopes.

I haven't been reading them in order, if that helps. They're definitely good, but they're fluffy good. Not spectacular good. A good break between heavier reading. (And coincidentally, one of the few books that passes the Bechdel test.)

Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions is included in the Big Deal for those who haven't read it.

GilliC · May 2014

I was pretty disappointed with the May monthly deals. There was one computer security thriller that was already on my TBR list, so I picked that up while it was on sale, but that was it.

From the Big Deal, I bought The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, because I've heard so many good things, and I would like to read it some day.

I also decided to try The Etiquette of Illness, because I remember how I was disappointed by a lot of things people said about my divorce, and having never been through a very serious illness, I wouldn't want to inadvertently hurt someone in the same way.

And lastly I picked up Mulberry and Peach about a split-personality, post-war traumatized Chinese woman. Because the few reviews that are out there all seem decidedly split and intriguing. It made me curious.

I don't have Kindle, but I'll recommend The Death of Bees from the May Deals.

Nothing looked particularly interesting, but I have had Nevada Barr recommended so maybe I'll get that.
