Today's Nook Daily Find, Summer Rental, by Mary Kay Andrews, is now price matched on Kindle.
Today's Kindle Daily Deal is on more than 60 books top-rated non-fiction books in a variety of categories, from biographies and memoirs to history and science. Many also have deals on companion audiobooks that drop the combined price down to the $7-$8 range, as well. I've heard more than once that non-fiction readers get overlooked on the Daily Deals - now is your chance to browse thru the equivalent of two months of daily deals and stock up on reading for the summer. City was named to the Best Non-Fiction 2012 list by Kirkus Reviews and Year of Meteors offers a different perspective on the events of 1860 that played such an important role in our nations history. Also hiding in the list is Gospel of Freedom: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail and the Struggle That Changed a Nation, which I recommended just yesterday as a companion to the free audiobook on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s letter. If you held off due to the price, now is the time to snag it; if you did buy at the higher price, you can do a quick return from the Manage Your Kindle page, then repurchase at the lower price today.

During China’s tumultuous Cultural Revolution, the People’s Liberation Army dispatches an elite group of prospectors famous for their work uncovering rare minerals to the mountains of rural Inner Mongolia. Their assignment: to bring honor to their country by descending into a maze of dank caves to find and retrieve the remnants of a buried World War II bomber left by their Japanese enemies. How the aircraft ended up beneath thousands of feet of rock baffles the team, but they’ll soon encounter far more treacherous and equally inexplicable forces lurking in the shadows. Each step taken—and each life lost—brings them closer to a mind-bending truth that should never see the light of day. Pride sent them into the caves, but terror will drive them out.
Through the eyes of one of the prospectors, bestselling Chinese author Xu Lei leads readers on a gripping and suspenseful journey.
