Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye.
This week I’ve selected the three samples that have been on my Kindle the longest (and I can’t remember why I have them).
Caesarion by Tommy Wieringa
Summary: A modern retelling of the story of Little Caesar (the child of Julius Caesar and the abandoned Cleopatra), set in Suffolk.
I’m thinking: No.
Sixteen Shades of Crazy by Rachel Trezise
Summary: In a tiny village in Wales, the new police chief has declared war on recreational drugs (resulting in an 18-month drought). Desperate for thrills, things change for the locals when a mysterious man arrives in town.
I’m thinking: No.
Steeplechase by Krissy Kneen
Summary: Bec’s sister, Emily, calls after a 23 year absence. Emily, a famous artist, lives in Beijing and asks Bec to visit. The trip triggers memories of their childhood.
I’m thinking: Yes.
I don’t know the other two, but I liked Steeplechase..,
First chapter of Steeplechase sucked me in, the other two did not. I’ve only read one other by Kneen (An Uncertain Grace) which was weird and memorable.
Her stuff mostly doesn’t appeal to me, but I liked this one.
I’ve not heard of any of these but Steeplechase does sound promising…
I like books about artists so yes to Steeplechase!
Steeplechase sounds like a good choice! Eleventy billion on your Kindle? I relate to that 🙂
I’ve probably reduced it to about seventy billion now that I’ve been doing Sample Saturday for a couple of years 😉
I love the cover on Caeserion but not the sound of the book. Steeplechase? Hopefully there are horses involved.
