Then it shot up to $9.99 and has remained there ever since. The same thing happened to George Martin’s A Game of Thrones, which used to sell for $6.99 in ebook form until HBO started airing the Game of Thrones TV series.

What I like about Feedbooks is their ebooks are nicely formatted, so there’s no reason to go spend $5-$10 elsewhere.

In 1924, the couple moved to Paris, where Fitzgerald began work on The Great Gatsby. The publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920, made Fitzgerald a literary star. He returned to New York to pursue fame and fortune. On base in Alabama in 1918, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, who refused to marry him unless he could support her. In 1917, Princeton put Fitzgerald on academic probation. Scott Fitzgerald grew up in Minnesota, attended a few private schools (where his performance was mediocre), and went to Princeton University.
