Depending on what you like to read, Susan Higginbotham's historical fiction set in medieval War of the Roses England is mostly just $2.25 (Sourcebooks is having an official sale which they could have timed better with the freebie promo earlier and they're $2.99 elsewhere). I'll be signing up for a BoB account and buying these myself shortly.

Or if you're not into history, Severn House's Severn Select line has a bunch of semi-classic reprint mysteries by established modern backlist authors for mostly $4.21 each after discount, which is roughly the same price as with a decent Kobo coupon. I bought the introductory volumes for all of these when they were $2.99 last year (price has gone up). The Mrs Pargeter series of cozies was surprisingly enjoyable and I'd buy more in the series. The Tim Heald/Simon Bognor books and Simon Brett's other Charles Paris (adapted for BBC Radio) series were okay (I'd buy and read future volumes if on very good sale), but I really liked Paul Johnston's futuristic dystopian Scotland murder mysteries and went back and got the lot with some recent deep-discount Kobo coupons.
