If you have kids of an age you might be interested that loads of David Williams offerings are reduced today. 

None are good though.

Two excellent books in todays daily deal. The non fiction book the White ship which is described as a real life game of thrones and is the story of the succession crisis arising from the death of Henry the firsts male heir aboard the white ship . Sounds dull? No, it’s a fantastic page turner chronicling one of the biggest crises in British history.

Fiction: the Hearts invisible furies is the story of a young Irish orphan and is journey through life . It’s heart warming and very well written and is worth 99p of anyones money.

[Boothjan]

Oooh The White Ship sounds like my kind of book - I know a little bit about the history so I'll give that a try.  Thanks for the heads up.

Top tip. Follow the authors you like on Amazon. Even if they're dead. Amazon tends to randomly give you 40% off certain books. I just got three. One Pratchett, one Anne McCaffrey and a Becky Chambers for 2 quid each.

Cecily by Annie Garthwaite is in the daily deal today. It's the semi fictional story of Cecily Neville who was the wife of the Duke of York in the War of the Roses and the mother of two kings. It was one of my favourite books of last year and anyone who has any interest in historical (semi) fiction will love it.

For those few who haven't read it yet, Piranesi is in the daily deal today . As already commented on by everyone, it's fantastic.

Also the classic time travel book Kindred by Octavia Butler which is very good.

Yeah, it's pretty funny to get emails about Jane Austen's new book. Huge if true!

Thanks for highlighting that - snapped it up immediately.

Disappointed to see they've followed the recent trend though and labelled it as "Piranesi: WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2021" which is how it will appear in my Kindle library forevermore. I also have several books in there with the suffix "TikTok made me read it!" (spoiler: no it fucking didn't). If you're even slightly anally retentive about maintaining an organised library on your Kindle then this sort of nonsense is deeply aggravating.

[sandman]

Finally time to get Slaughterhouse 5 read. Seems to be one of those books everyone has read that I hadn’t even heard of 10 years ago. 

[little che]

The Amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay is excellent. About two cousins who having escaped occupied Europe arrive in America and start a comic book company.

[Boothjan]

Pat Nevin's book is great for any football fan out there. 

[sandman]

Worth pointing out that there are also some good daily deals today. You’ve got the Hunger Games Trilogy at 99p, Hyperion the same and also a load of Sharpe novels also at 99p

[Vimster]

For the very few here who haven't read it I urge you to read I Am Legend. Fantastically bleak book. Forget all the film adaptations.

[Chris.]

Klara and the Sun is 99p (for today?)

[sandman]

I’ve never read any of them, but a load of Simon Scarrow’s books are 99p today 

[Boothjan]

Diddly Squat by Jeremy Clarkson is 99p today. Absolutely loved Clarkson's Farm so I've gone for it.

[Stopharage]

Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney is £1.29 today. Not my normal thing, but I’m rather partial to her stuff; reminds me of Douglas Coupland. 
 

The majestic Colson Whitehead’s Harlem Shuffle is 99p too. Not read it yet but he’s a modern great. 

[little che]

Harlem shuffle is excellent. It's a cracking read and a steal at 99p

[sandman]

The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss is 99p today 

[BossSaru]

Trevor Noah's autobiography, Born A Crime, is 99p today. I really liked it, not only as a first-hand account of life under Apartheid, but also of being a mixed race person in such a society.

[Stopharage]

In what must be one of the bargains of the year, the complete Witcher collection is 99p today. 8 books, 3600+ pages for under a quid…

 

Mythos by Stephen Fry is also 99p and David Sedaris’ diaries are as well.

[Sane]

Bought The Witcher and Mythos, thanks! God knows when I'll have time to read them though .

[QuackQuack]

Awesome, those Sedaris diaries haven’t even been out that long

[Boothjan]

Well that's just daft.  Only read the first Witcher book and enjoyed it so I'm not turning down the whole lot for less than the price of a loaf of bread!

 

Also bought Mythos as I think I'll like that.

 

Thanks for the heads up, @Stopharage

[sandman]

Neverwhere is 99p today only
