For those in the US, this weekend Audible is having a $7.95 Customer Favorites Sale. There are more than 350 titles, grouped by genre, marked down to $7.95 for any member on a subscription plan. If any of the selections were on your wishlist, this is cheaper than using credits and there are some good choices.
Learn Out Loud is having a sale, with 50 of their classics audiobooks at $1/each.
Delphi Classics, which specializes in well-edited editions of the classics, is having a 40% off sale this weekend. Just use coupon code MERRYMONTH during checkout. Everyone can get a free download of French Masters, also, which features eight masterpiece works translated from French, followed by the original texts. Should be a very good selection for students of the French language, as well as being enjoyable by anyone who reads only one of the two.
Fictionwise's coupon this weekend is good for 40% off (on top of any member/new book discounts): 051812
There seems to be a big sale on Octovo covers and sleeves that fit both the Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Fire going on. I see $24.99 sleeves marked down to $9.99, in various (bright) colors, their Splashproof Tirim cover (which I use outside, such as by the pool) also is marked down to $9.99, but perhaps the best deals are on their Genuine Leather Book Cover ($19.99) and the same cover with Solis light combo ($29.99). The cover originally sold for $75 and the Solis light alone sells for $29.99 (essentially, buy the light and get a free leather cover). If you prefer brown, you get $10 off their Vintage Leather Cover, if you buy it and the Solis light in the same order. Since it's also on sale for $19.99, it ends up being only a bit more than the black cover and light combo (if you want the cover only, they are the same price).Additional formats on free books:
- Run Among Thorns (N/E/I)
- RV Cooking Cookbook (K/N/E/I)
- Anything But Vanilla (K/N/I) [NSFW]
- Kinky (K/N/I) [NSFW]

Today's Kindle Deal of the Day is Those Who Save Us ($1.99), by Jenna Blum.Book Description
For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American soldier and went to live with him in Minnesota. Trudy's sole evidence of the past is an old photograph: a family portrait showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer, the Obersturmfuhrer of Buchenwald.
Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother's life.
Combining a passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life during the war, and a poignant mother/daughter drama, Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.

Doing what she does best, Vera pulls her team together and sets them interviewing staff and those connected to the victim, while she and colleague, Sergeant Joe Ashworth, work to find a motive. While Joe struggles to reconcile his home life with the demands made on him by the job; Vera revels being back in charge of an investigation again. Death has never made her feel so alive . . . And when they discover that the victim had worked in social services, and had been involved in a shocking case involving a young child, then it appears obvious that the two are somehow connected. Though things are never as they seem . . .
The Restorer ($1.99 Kindle, B&N), the first novel in The Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle (multiple editions, only one on sale). You can also still pick up the prequel novella, The Abandoned, for free.Book Description
My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to the rules passed down from my father. But now a haunted police detective has entered my world and everything is changing, including the rules that have always kept me safe.
It started with the discovery of a young woman's brutalized body in an old Charleston graveyard I've been hired to restore. The clues to the killer—and to his other victims—lie in the headstone symbolism that only I can interpret. Devlin needs my help, but his ghosts shadow his every move, feeding off his warmth, sustaining their presence with his energy. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the symbols lead me closer to the killer and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.
