If audiobook are more your idea of a great beach read (and one that is easier to carry around), then be sure to check out Audible's $7.95 Customer Favorites Sale (it is most likely limited to those with a subscription), with over 250 books to choose from, all of which are listed on the sale page. It's a 48 hour sale (well, sort of) and ends June 8 at midnight (Eastern, US). By my calculations, that's three days on the sale, not two, so I would not be surprised if it ended early.

Today's Kindle Daily Deal is The Third Coincidence ($1.99), by David Bishop [Oceanview Publishing], with the companion audiobook for $3.49. You may already have this one in your library, as it was on a free promotion last summer.Book Description
Headlines scream across the nation as a country in near panic pleads for the capture of the killers. With little progress, U.S. President Samuel Schroeder asks Jack McCall, a veteran of the CIA and Defense Intelligence, to head up a special multi-agency task force to find the killers. A frustrated and unhappy FBI designates, as its representative, Rachel Johnstone, an agent with whom Jack has had some personal history. The Third Coincidence unfolds amidst continued assassinations, accusations that the president is attempting to form his own secret police, and confirmation hearings for reluctant nominees to fill the vacant positions while the Supreme Court struggles to sustain a quorum. Will a terrorist group or a mad assassin succeed in destroying these revered intuitions? In the spirit of The Day of the Jackal and The Manchurian Candidate, this story is juxta-posed through the eyes of both the hunter and the hunted as the devious plot to change America hurdles forward.
Today's Kindle Romance Daily Deal is Barefoot in the Sand ($1.99), the first novel in the Barefoot Bay series by Roxanne St. Claire [Hachette], with the companion audiobook for $2.99. That's a great beach read and listen, even at the combined price.Book Description
When all you hold dear is taken away . . .
When a hurricane roars through Lacey Armstrong's home on the coast of Barefoot Bay, she decides all that remains in the rubble is opportunity. A new hotel is just what Mimosa Key needs, and Lacey and her teenage daughter are due for a fresh start. And nothing, especially not a hot, younger architect, is going to distract Lacey from finally making her dreams a reality.
A second chance is the only thing you have left.
Love has already cost Clay Walker everything. And if he's going to have any chance of picking up the pieces of his life, he needs the job as Lacey Armstrong's architect. What's not in the plans is falling for the headstrong beauty. Her vision of the future is more appealing than anything he could have ever drafted for himself. Will Clay's designs on Lacey's heart be more than she can handle, or will she trust him to build something that will last forever?
Today's Kindle SciFi/Fantasy Daily Deal is Sandcats of Rhyl ($0.99), by Robert E. Vardeman [Prologue Books], with the companion audiobook for $2.99. If you missed this when it was briefly free last summer, you should pick it up now; it's a fun read and even worth a re-read for those who read it in their youth. Written in the late 70's, this is Vardeman's first novel (although he was nominated for the 1972 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer and had a number of short stories published in between) and stands alone; many of his later books are in series, like so many these days, with his latest title, God of War II, just released last year and you can catch him in person at a number of events this year.Book Description
