Daily Deals 08/08/15

The Nook Daily Find – Midnight Thief, a young adult fantasy novel – is significantly discounted at B&N and I’ve reported the lower price in hopes it drops at Amazon later today. The second in the series, Daughter of Dusk, was released this week. For the bonus Daily Find, it’s a YA Romance, Anna and the French Kiss, that I picked up a few years ago, which is price matched on Kindle. The Audible Daily Deal,
A Primate’s Memoir: A Neuroscientist’s Unconventional Life Among the Baboons, is going onto my TBR list. The bonus Kobo Daily Deal, Sisters in Bloom, is eligible for the Buy-2-Get-1-Free Melissa Foster Books promotion that they are running (but, I’d get it separately and use the promo to pick up three of the $4.99 books, instead, to maximize savings).

In the Kindle Daily Deals, I think I’ll get The Backyard Homestead, even though I have the EPUB edition, as a quick check of the sample on Kindle shows that it has better formatting of the tables and illustrations, as well as hot-links where there are page references (from the original paper edition) that my copy doesn’t have. For those looking to add a rabbit, bees or other small animals to their homesteads (or suburban back yards), The Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals is also on sale for $2.99. Hardcore Hugh Howey fans probably already have Half Way Home, but if you don’t be sure to grab it while it is on sale.

Today on Amazon’s Gold Box, save 52% on T-Fal Actifry Low-Fat Healthy Multi-Cooker .

Today’s MP3 Album Deal is the newly released Big Schumann Box [eOne Music], with more than 10 hours of music for only $0.99.

Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is Bel Canto ($1.99), by Ann Patchett [HarperCollins]. I have several of Ms. Patchett novels, but not this psychological thriller.

Book Description
Ann Pratchett’s award winning, New York Times bestselling Bel Canto balances themes of love and crisis as disparate characters learn that music is their only common language. As in Patchett’s other novels, including Truth & Beauty and The Magician’s Assistant, the author’s lyrical prose and lucid imagination make Bel Canto a captivating story of strength and frailty, love and imprisonment, and an inspiring tale of transcendent romance.
