yendiThe Kindle Daily Deal is on Jonathan Harwood's The Ghost Writer for $1.99. I reviewed this way back when for Bookslut, and it's a nifty read.
(Also -- wow, it's been over ten years since I wrote my first column for Bookslut! It wasn't my first non-blog writing experience -- I'd written for CHUD, Rambles, and The Green Man Review by that point -- but this was definitely higher-profile, and while it wasn't a perfect experience, I did meet some great folks through it, and can probably draw a line from there to my current writing for PW (which, in turn, has led to other paying gigs, including three essays in this set). Also, alas, it looks like stuff from my first two months there is no longer online, although the Wayback Machine does still have them, at least.)
And the Sci-Fi Deal of the Day is on A. Lee Martinez's Emperor Mollusk versus The Sinister Brain for $1.99! Martinez has somehow remained the invisible genre writer, a guy whose work I adore, published by big-name houses, but who never seems to get a tenth of the attention (either in zeitgeist or award talk) that he should.
Meanwhile, the Deal of the Day offers the Forever Marilyn or Singin' in the Rain box sets at huge discounts (78 and 58% off, respectively). That's supposedly for Mother's Day, even though I think I'd enjoy these sets more than![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong.
They've also got When Harry Met Sally on Blu-Ray for $4.75 (76% off).
And finally, the Mass Effect Trilogy has dropped down to $39.99 (33% off), or just over $13 per game (and it includes some of the DLC for the first two games, as well).
