14.08.2025 20:08 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Can someone explain to me why ebooks have risen in price by ~50% in the last year? I’d rather buy the physical book, some of them for just $2-3 more, than the ebook. There are low production costs for ebooks & immediate availability with no shipping costs. I do not understand!!

4.5/5🌟. Imagine the worst movie killers of the 70s-80s were real, demon-haunted murderers and the US government brought them all together as a special ops unit to handle the most difficult, unusual, evil creatures the world has to offer. Highly recommended! Available 8/5/25. @dgvaldron.bsky.social

4/5🌟. This 2nd entry in the DCC books is just as good as the first. Normally, there is a bit of a let down when reading the 2nd of a series this unique, but not here. The audiobook by Jeff Hays is one of my favorite audiobooks ever! Highly recommended!! #netgalley #acebooks

4/5🌟. CJ Box can sometimes wring the emotional juices right out of the reader! Game Warden Joe Pickett always tries to do the right thing, in his job and for his family. We all know, however, that even the best intentions do not always come to fruition. Highly recommended!

3.5/5🌟, rounded up to 4🌟. This book had a very literary feel to it. Brian McLaren is an excellent writer and has addressed some very interesting ideas in this near-future science fiction novel. Book 1 of a planned trilogy.
