Kobo has a new trivia contest going, The Essential Classics Trivia Contest, with every entry winning at least a 10%-75% off eBook coupon. Be sure to use an email address that you can check, in case you win one of the daily Kobo Glo instant win prizes, and to enter daily, so that you’ll have all 10 entries required to get into the drawing for the Grand Prize Pack.
The Nook Daily Find is by Dick Wolf, the creator of the Law & Order television franchise, with a Bonus Find by Lou Berney that has received multiple Starred Reviews. The Kobo Daily Deal also has a couple of thrillers that look interesting, one by Matthew Reilly and the other by Colleen Gleason writing as C. M. Gleason. I just checked a coupon code I picked up in the Kobo Trivia contest and it works on at least the latter title. The Audible Daily Deal, Three: Legends of the Duskwalker #1 by Jay Posey, is a book that I enjoyed (and the narrator is pretty good) and should appeal to fans of Young Adult/New Adult Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction. In the Kindle Daily Deals, Jeff VanderMeer’s Finch is clearly a Fantasy title, but also is squarely in the Noir Crime Fiction genre. I’ve read a couple of his other novels and will definitely be sampling this one today.

Book Description
Near the end of World War II, seventeen-year-old Mireille de Jouarre flees the home of her stepfather, a Nazi collaborator and abusive drunk. She finds shelter with her childhood friend Stefan, and the two fall deeply in love. But as the fighting escalates, Mireille must escape alone to Paris, where she discovers she’s pregnant and lacking a way to provide for her child.So begins her new life as l’Ange—the Angel. After an unlikely meeting with a wealthy aristocrat in a Parisian hotel—and her acceptance of his solicitation—Mireille becomes the most celebrated poule in all of France, eliciting huge fees and invitations to exclusive parties. At one of these events, Mireille meets Oliver Jordan, an American womanizer and film producer, and is soon launching a promising film career. As her star rises, Mireille is determined to bury her past. But her success isn’t as carefree and glittery as it seems, and when her daughter’s future is threatened, Mireille must make a deadly decision in a desperate attempt to finally choose her own path.
