that seems a little odd, it's not a textbook, it's a cookbook

A lot of what they have featured has been non-textbooks, but more books to cope with being a student (or getting ready to no longer be one, such as the one on interviewing).

Bargain book - Fantasy

Gardens of the Moon: Book One of The Malazan Book of the Fallen (epic fantasy series) by Steven Erikson from Tor is just $2.99 (Kindle). *The rest of the books in the series are all $9.99 each.

Quote:

Product Description
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.

For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze.

However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand...

Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

Always the Baker, Never the Bride by Sandra D. Bricker (from Abingdon Press)

Quote:

Product Description
Thirty-six-year-old Emma Rae Travis has been baking specialty cakes and melt-in-your-mouth pastries at The Backstreet Bakery in historic Roswell, just outside of Atlanta, for the last six years. But here s the rub about her job as a baker ... Emma is diabetic. When she tastes her creations, it can only be in the most minute portions. Emma is considered an artisan for the stunning crÃ¨me brulee wedding cake that won her the Passionate Palette Award last year, but she s never even had one full slice of it.
When Jackson Drake hears about this local baker who has won a prestigious award for her wedding cake artistry, he tells his assistant to be sure and include her in the pastry tastings scheduled at his new wedding destination hotel the following week. And for Jackson, that particular day has started out badly with two workmen trapped in a broken elevator and a delivery of several dozen 300-thread-count bed linens in the wrong size abandoned in the lobby. But when the arrogant baker he met a week prior in Roswell stumbles into the dining room with a platter of pastries and a bucketful of orders, he knows for certain: It s going to be a really rotten day.
Can these two ill-suited players master the high-wire act and make a go of their new business venture? Or will they take each other crashing downward, without a net? And will the surprise wedding at The Tanglewood be theirs?

There's a new (and reasonably priced) memory puzzle game on Kindle today, Match Genius (A Memory Puzzle Game) ($2.99), by Sonic Boom. This is the kind of game I've see mentioned in several studies recently on improving memory and staving off aging of the brain.

Game Description
Play Match Genius, a puzzle game that exercises your concentration, memory and cognitive skills on Kindle - anytime, anywhere.

In Match Genius, you flip over a tile to reveal a symbol underneath. By flipping other tiles you match the pairs of symbols. Match tiles in as few moves as possible to get the highest scores. Pay careful attention to the different shades and orientation for each symbol. Certain shapes are almost identical, which can trick an unfocused player.

Match Genius is a fun game for all ages with 6 levels of difficulty, ranging from Easy to Genius. The game automatically saves your progress and keeps a tally of your stats, scores and rank. Become a Match Genius on Kindle today!
