Slight difference for uk readers, instead of the scifi thriller it is:
Thriller: Gone to Sea in a Bucket: by David Black; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/r...SIN=B00W4JVJGE Sigh, at the pretentious attempt by Joshua V Scher to avoid calling his book scifi. ![]() |

Yeah, that's weird. It's back-firing too, as I'm left wondering if I want to get it or not. If it was simply called science fiction I'd grab it over Infinity Lost without hesitation. But calling it experimental fiction makes me wonder if it'll be hard to read, and so now I'm torn. ![]() |

Wow. I will have a difficult time deciding this month. Several of these look really good. Especially This is the Night and Here and There. I like the look of the cover of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences, but the story only sounds mildly interesting. Not sure what I think of it.
I'll keep an eye on them. No decision yet. |

I doubt Scher had anything to do with what genre label was attached to Here & There on the Kindle First page; that's not the kind of decision authors get to make. I would imagine whoever did choose it was just trying to create an impression of variety by not having two books labeled "science fiction thriller" in a single month. And having skimmed through the book using search inside, I'd say it is more experimental than the usual sci-fi Kindle First selections, though that's not saying much. Anyway, it'll be my pick for this month, and for once I might actually read a Kindle First title.

Need to think about these not sure yet. Nothing stands out at the moment. I really liked last months selection. Leaning towards the Mystery "The Mentor ".

Since five of the six seem to be some flavor of science fiction, it's a no-brainer for me: The Mentor. But an English translation of an book by an Italian writer, which is set in England? It gives me pause.

Just a reminder that this is the last day to pick up a selection if you haven't already.
