It's nearly the end of the month, so those who have Amazon Prime may want to finish up their last borrowed book and grab another one before the end of the month (although you get an extra day this year, it's still a very short month!). It also means that this month's batch of
100 Kindle books for $3.99 or less will only last for two more days, so if you've been holding on to a sample, you better read thru them quickly (or just nab the one you want, while the getting is good!).
AudioGo, the home of BBC Audiobooks, is having a
half-price sale on their US sales site, some of them as MP3 downloads and others as CD sets (including a boxed set of the BBC Dr. Who radio broadcasts).

Amazon Instant Video Sweepstakes on Facebook - they are giving away 2 ROKU XD players and a $100 gift card.

A Noble Cause (
$0.99), by J. Gregory Smith, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. This title is being published by Thomas & Mercer, an Amazon imprint for new titles, but you might have his
Final Price in your library, as AmazonEncore gave it away for free last December as a short-time promotion.
Book Description
Mark Noble plans a surprise proposal to his beautiful girlfriend during a romantic Caribbean vacation. But before he can pop the question, his girlfriend disappears, and his father--a world famous celebrity doctor who seems to have perfected mind-control--is killed in a mysterious fire back home in Pennsylvania.
When Mark investigates both his girlfriend's disappearance and his father's death, he realizes that the two events are connected. He attempts to unravel the mystery with the help of his eccentric grandmother and the courageous crew--one a former Navy SEAL--of her luxury yacht, putting all of their lives in danger as Mark faces a rich and powerful foe determined to pry from Mark a secret he doesn't even know he possesses.
Breakneck pacing and taut plotting mark Greg Smith's sophomore effort, a top-notch thriller with keen intelligence and shocking twists that create a brooding, vice-like compression that leaves little room to breathe.
The Watermen (
$1.57 / £0.99 UK), by Patrick Easter, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (no US edition). It looks like a second in the series is coming out in March,
The River of Fire (Main/
UK).
Book Description
It is 1798 in the Port of London: a cruel villain holds sway over the underworld. His face is savaged by lime, his back scarred by two hundred lashes – Boylin is not a man to be crossed. Yet there is one person he loathes and fears – his captain and shipmate, Tom Pascoe, the man he blames for his Court Martial and the terrible punishment that followed.
They meet again when Pascoe becomes River Surveyor for the newly formed Marine Police. Pascoe knows that Boylin is behind most of the criminal activity that flourishes in the Port, but he can't prove anything – yet. And when both men become involved with the same woman, things get personal.
The Everything Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook (
$4.99 Kindle,
