Today's
Gold Box at Amazon is "up to 55% Off Studio Ghibli Favorites on DVD and Blu-ray" and it looks like movie deals today in the Lightning Deals, including an upcoming teaser of "50% Off Star Trek Federation: The First 150 Years". I may have to double check that one later today. We went last night and saw the new Star Trek movie - I don't think fans will be disappointed (although the redshirts did wear a different color disguise when they went down to the planet). I've signed up to be notified when
Into Darkness is released at Amazon, so we can watch it again at home (maybe we'll even get the
3D edition).

Caught on Camera (
$1.99), the first (and only, so far) novel in Kim Law's
Davenports series [Montlake Romance], with the
companion audiobook also $1.99.
Book Description
Beautiful Vega Zaragoza was poised to become fashion’s next “it girl” when she learned the hard way that sex and politics don’t mix. Now the former model spends her days behind the camera, working as a videographer to hide from public scrutiny. Her life is on autopilot until a promising new job sparks her ambition. There’s just one catch: she must land an exclusive interview with JP Davenport, the golden boy of American politics and first in line for Georgia’s open senatorial seat.
Charming and gorgeous, JP is also fiercely private, a charismatic enigma with his fair share of secrets—not to mention a string of romantic conquests a mile long. He could make Vega’s career, or destroy what credibility she has left—because JP has made it very clear that his interest in Vega is anything but professional. Vega should know better than to trust a man like him. But kiss by heated kiss, she discovers this man may be worth the risk.

Dawn (
$2.99), the first novel in the (excellent)
Xenogenesis Trilogy by Octavia E. Butler [Open Road].
Book Description
Rescued from Earth’s destruction, one woman is called upon to revive mankind
Lilith Iyapo has just lost her husband and son when atomic fire consumes Earth—the last stage of the planet’s final war. Hundreds of years later Lilith awakes, deep in the hold of a massive alien spacecraft piloted by the Oankali—who arrived just in time to save humanity from extinction. They have kept Lilith and other survivors asleep for centuries, as they learned whatever they could about Earth. Now it is time for Lilith to lead them back to her home world, but life among the Oankali on the newly resettled planet will be nothing like it was before.
The Oankali survive by genetically merging with primitive civilizations—whether their new hosts like it or not. For the first time since the nuclear holocaust, Earth will be inhabited. Grass will grow, animals will run, and people will learn to survive the planet’s untamed wilderness. But their children will not be human. Not exactly.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E. Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.
