We’re still experimenting with formats for our regular On Sale lists, and plan to launch our New Look soon. Until then, here’s a look at what’s new for January.
Where possible, titles are linked to Amazon.

Just a suggestion for people who have excel or its equivalent on their computers…If you copy the lists and then paste them into excel, you can sort the information how ever you like.
Yes, DGR, I think it would be great if the boards could be restored. I’d also just make it one board–I’ve always thought the division was confusing.
Thanks to all of you who have worked on this site, past and present. It’s a thankless job sometimes, but your hard work is appreciated. I will say I do like lists by author, but having said that, I got back on the reading train by your releases by upcoming month. P.s. Amazon needs to have a downloadable format so you don’t have to enter everything all over again. I bet you have all wished for the same thing!
Call me crazy, but if an author gives you a book to review, but then asks that you not quote directly to it because the editing not quite finished, it’s called having your cake and eating it too. To me, that request is unreasonable.
I, for one, want to request the old site’s ability to pose a question or a review to the general population. I miss hearing what others have to say about topics not directly pertinent to the review of a particular book. It’s what made AAR so appealing. If anything, I think AAR should be thinking of ways to expand that service.
I appreciated AAR asking for people’s reactions to this new site (before you eliminated them), but reading people’s thoughts is sorely missed. I’m suspect I’m not alone, but there’s no real way to register our requests to reinstate the discussions.
Do you mean restore the Boards? Or do you have another way we could accommodate this?
I apologize for not threading this correctly, but I’m not getting a reply link for Kay’s comment and wonderful list. I was just going to say that The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood is actually out today, 1/16. Guess what’s on my kindle already? Wheeee!
I have this book for review and (spoiler alert) am loathing it. That’s why the review is late – I have to force myself to keep reading. Hope it goes better for you.
This book was an okay read for me – I gave it 3.5 stars. I do generally like this author’s writing, but I hadn’t read the first one in the series.
Note about the quotes on review: nearly every eARC I get contains a request to not include direct quotes in review since the book is still going through edits. So while having the quotes sounds lovely, I want to echo LinnieGayl that we need to sort a way to respect the publishers/authors as we do!
I really like the “Books on Sale” posts (my wallet does not :) ). I appreciate all of the hard work and time that goes into putting them together.
With respect to formatting suggestions, I too prefer the listings to be by author. With so many Dukes and Scandals or Scandalous Dukes, the titles get confusing. Also is it possible to have a separate link/category for these posts so that they can be accessed directly from the menu?
Thanks for all of your efforts in keeping this site thriving.
Yes, I do know that lots of volunteers are responsible for a lot of the work–if not most–that goes on AAR. I do thank them.
I didn’t realize that my comment would stir up such hurt feelings. That was not my intent. If anyone felts dismissed, belittled, or hurt by my original organizational request and explanation of standard organization of books (see any library card catalogue, for example), I am sorry. I am truly amazed that my comment caused such a response–I stated a wish (which by definition if personal and hardly worded as an order) and I did say “please” when explaining standard organization. I do realize that nobody knows all the little things that are seen often as irrelevant. Heaven knows the millions of things that I don’t know. Again: if I offended you, I regret that.
Thanks for that. Tone is so hard to modulate online. We’re actually happy this line of comments ensued–it’s nice to hear from so many that the work we do is appreciated.
Hmmmm…. That might be a cool thing to put at the bottom of reviews. I like that idea. I’ll work on it!
The Guilty Pleasures site has a quote in a box on the home page that changes periodically. They’re drawing from Goodreads Quotes though, not generating from their own database.
On the Guilty Pleasures site the favorite quote changes each time the page is refreshed, so it must be drawing from some sort of supply. It seems to be a randomized pattern from a finite supply, so I assume some sort of app is involved. Maybe it’s something that Goodreads makes available, since they’re now identified as the source of the quotes. BTW, as a reader/site visitor, I’m quite touched that AAR has shown this much interest. Thank you.
I think I’ll add a place on reviews that reviewers can put in favorite quotes for a book if they want to. Once we have a database, maybe I can figure out how to have it show up somewhere. #learningtoprogramstill
Perhaps your readers who are fans of a book might be moved to leave a quote in their comments beneath your review. In essence that’s where the GoodReads favorite quotes come from, after all.
