The Audible Daily Deal is about a cat assassin/war hero and was one of their Editors Select picks in January of this year, as well as being named on a number of other “best” lists. The Kid’s Daily Deal, The Honest Truth, is for kids of all ages, not just middle school readers. The Science Fiction Daily Deal, Vaughn Heppner’s Fenris series, is a good Military/Space Marine series; I picked up the first two last year. His latest series, The Lost Starship, also has three novels, with the last one, The Lost Destroyer, having been released in May.
Thanks for the comments on others having problems with their wishlists – it looks like Amazon has it fixed, as I was able to go back this morning and add the two things that would not add yesterday.

Book Description
The bestselling inspirational story of one family coming to terms with unspeakable tragedy and immeasurable loveIn a lovely old house near the coast of Massachusetts, the Farrells go through the routines of a typical August morning. Eight-year-old Charlie, a junior biologist and dinosaur expert, tries to collect another one of his insect specimens. His sister, Amanda, a talented gymnast who at eleven years old is already saving her money to try out for the Olympic team, prepares for her last meet of the summer. Ivan, their absent-minded father, is involved with his work as an astronomer. Out in the garden, Ivan’s wife, Polly, wonders how she can trick her children into eating more zucchini.
They are a family as unique and ordinary as any other, but their world will soon be shattered when Amanda is diagnosed with AIDS. In an instant, everything that gave their lives meaning is ripped away, and the intimacy that once came so naturally vanishes. Too overcome with grief to turn to each other, Ivan and Polly seek solace elsewhere. Charlie is abandoned by his best friend and, for long stretches at a time, forgotten by his parents. Amanda, who holds on to her dreams so tightly, must somehow find a way to let go.
Torn apart by the prospect of their loss, Polly, Ivan, and Charlie must find the courage to come back together again—for Amanda’s sake and for their own. At Risk is an exquisite book about true sorrow and even truer devotion.
