Got a Kindle for Christmas?
Or a Nook? Sony e-reader? Estimates suggest that FIVE MILLION people got Kindles for Christmas this year. WOW.
So I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that River in the Sea (historical fiction, WWII era), is available for download for 99 cents. The price will be going back up on January 1, 2012.
Here a couple of recent reviews to whet your appetite:

Book description:
At fifteen, Leen De Graaf likes everything she shouldn’t: smoking cigarettes, wearing red lipstick, driving illegally, and working in the fields. It seems the only thing she shares with her fellow Dutchmen is a fear of the German soldiers stationed nearby and a frantic wish for the war to end. When a soldier’s dog runs in front of Leen’s truck, her split-second reaction sets off a storm of events that pitches her family against the German forces when they are most desperate - and fierce. Leen tries to hold her family together, but despite her efforts, bit by bit everything falls apart, and just when Leen experiences a horrific loss, she must make a decision that could forever brand her a traitor, yet finally allow her to live as her heart desires. Inspired by the life of the author’s mother, River in the Sea is a powerful and moving account of one girl reaching adulthood when everything she believes about family, friendship, and loyalty is questioned by war.
