April Amazon First Reads, Editor's Picks (formerly Kindle Firsts)
When Never Comes - Barbara Davis
It Ends With Her - Brianna Labuskes
Bandwidth - Eliot Peper
An American Princess: The Many Lives of Allene Tew - Annejet van der Zijl, ‎Michele Hutchison
The Air Raid Killer - Steve Anderson,Frank Goldammer
Monsoon Mansion - Cinelle Barnes

I like that they now say Editor's Picks because the program for years now has been just Amazon's own publishing imprints.

 

If unfamiliar with the program, it's a selection of ARCs available for Amazon prime members (who get to choose one free to keep a month ahead of publication date).

 

I am noticing that some have not been new books as have been previously self-published.

 

Durn if I can get any of these added to this post. (I have carefully added the editions to booklikes but it will not find it searching; even shelved to search on my shelves to no avail.) I'll try to edit and add later in case some cache lag with recently added works.

 

UPDATE: some now searchable in booklikes; some not but can now search on my shelves to add to post.  All added to post now.

"In An Interesting Twist, B&N to Sell Self-Published Books In Stores"

As far as e-ink devices go, I've only ever owned Nooks. However, I buy all my e-books from elsewhere: All Romance Ebooks, Kobo, a few publisher sites. The closest B&N store to me is about an hour and a half away. I go there every few months, but I've only ever bought books from them once - most of the money I spend there goes towards the in-store Starbucks and non-book stuff.

 

Here's what I'd like to see from B&N that is more important to me than self-published books sold in stores:

 

- Decent sales inside stores. When I do find interesting books in their stores, they're nearly always list price.

 

- Better book selections. The few times I've looked for specific books (Jeannie Lin, Courtney Milan, Patricia Briggs - authors I'm pretty sure aren't considered total unknowns), I haven't found them. Too much of the store is taken up by other things (which inexplicably seem to feature a better selection than their book areas - I've found so many nice 3D crystal puzzles).

 

- The ability to download Nook Books from their website to my computer. This ability used to exist, and I bought a few e-books from them back them. When they took that ability away, I complained to customer service and stopped buying e-books from them.

 

- The ability to see whether an e-book on their site has DRM or not. Granted, this would only be important to me if the "download from their website" feature still existed, but it was something I was asking their customer service about since I got my first Nook. It shouldn't be hard to include this little detail on product pages.

A waterlogged dystopian whodunit that’s rather flavorless in execution.

Killer Instinct - Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Second book in the Naturals series. There’s a bit of second book ness to this one and the characters’ viewpoints are such a different way of seeing the world that I occasionally had a little trouble connecting to them. But all in all, this is a fascinating series.
