Today's Kindle Daily Deal is up to 67% off on 30 top-rated Kindle romance novels, some as low as $0.99 each (none over $1.99). There are way too many for me to list, but browsing thru them, there appears to be a Romance Book for nearly every type of Mom (or Mom-to-be) that might be out there, from contemporary to historical to paranormal. Be sure to check page two, as well, to see all the choices. As always, be sure to just do a quick check of your libraries (unless you are buying for your own Mom, to read on her Kindle), as some books seem to have new editions. I spotted Delilah Devlin's Shattered Souls on the sale, for example, and knew that I already had it. Checking the product page, though, didn't show the "you have purchased" banner at the top, so it's a different edition than mine (and this newer one is tied to the $1.99 companion audiobook, which would still be under $3 if I buy the novel again). I also discovered that the next novel in that series, Lost Souls, is available to pre-order (and, $3.99, I've added it to my queue to lock in the price).
Today's Kindle Romance Daily Deal is Seeing Shadows ($0.99), by S.H. Kolee.Book Description
Caitlin Kile was living a normal college life full of parties and early morning classes. Living with her best friend and enjoying her senior year, Caitlin's life seemed idyllic. Until her neighbor's cousin, Simon Crewe, transferred to her school, unbalancing her tightly controlled life. Because control was one thing Caitlin desperately needed.
Simon was instantly attracted to Caitlin, but he couldn't seem to get past her guarded walls. Caitlin wasn't planning on competing with all the groupies clamoring for Simon's attention ever since he became the lead singer of a popular band. But despite Caitlin's refusal to show any interest in him, Simon couldn't seem to shake his attraction to her.
But Simon didn't know everything about Caitlin. He didn't know about the images of death that haunted her while she was awake. Or the gripping terrors that plagued her at night.
And Simon couldn't possibly know that those terrors were determined to destroy him.
Today's Kindle SciFi/Fantasy Daily Deal is 2001: A Space Odyssey ($1.99), by Arthur C. Clarke, with the companion audiobook for only $0.99.Book Description
The year is 2001, and cosmonauts uncover a mysterious monolith that has been buried on the Moon for at least three million years. To their astonishment, the monolith releases an equally mysterious pulse—a kind of signal—in the direction of Saturn after it is unearthed. Whether alarm or communication, the human race must know what the signal is—and who it was intended for.
The Discovery and its crew, assisted by the highly advanced HAL 9000 computer system, sets out to investigate. But as the crew draws closer to their rendezvous with a mysterious and ancient alien civilization, they realize that the greatest dangers they face come from within the spacecraft itself. HAL proves a dangerous traveling companion, and the crew must outwit him to survive.
This novel version of the famous Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey was written by Clarke in conjunction with the movie’s production. It is meant to stand as a companion piece, and it offers a complementary narrative that’s loaded with compelling science fiction ideas.
