I got an e-mail from Google Play, indicating that they have a set of deals going on, called the "Longest Day" deals. I assume this is in honor of the summer solstice, and so these may only be good today, June 20.
They offer a list of $0.99 apps, $1.99 books, $0.99 movie rentals, and $2.99 music albums.
I'm going to list the $1.99 books here, but don't have time to provide individual links:
Camilla Lackberg: The Stonecutter
Carson McCullers: The Member of the Wedding
Susan Mallery: Summer Days
Stuart Neville: The Ghosts of Belfast
Donna Leon: Beastly Things
Elaine Dundy: The Dud Avocado
Ann Patchett: The Patron Saint of Liars
Chris Ballard: One Shot at Forever
Zoe Ferrars: Finding Nouf
Timothy Egan: The Worst Hard Time
Shannon Hale: Princess Academy
Kate Angell: Sweet Spot
Jonah Lehrer: How We Decide
Patrick O’Brian: Master and Commander
Lisa Jackson: Beach Season
Philip K Dick: A Scanner Darkly
Carrie Jones: Endure
Patricia Highsmith: The Talented Mr. Ripley
Virginia Woolf: The Waves
Karin Fossum: Don’t Look Back
Brenda Jackson: Bachelor Undone
Richard Castle: Heat Rises
Melissa de la Cruz: Witches of East End
Holly Chamberlin: The Summer of Us
The overall link for the "Longest Day" books is:

And just FYI:
for the apps, it's:

for the music albums, it's:

and for the movies, it's:

I think (hope) these are all affiliate-free, since I went in and cut off all of the extra stuff at the end.
Amongst the books, I was especially pleased to see the new Donna Leon mystery, which I hadn't yet bought at its high price, and now am going to pick up right away.
I looked at only a couple of books (short on time) at other stores, and it seems that some are reduced price also at Amazon. The couple I tried weren't reduced price at BN. Sorry I don't have more time to check it out - maybe someone else can pile in with more details.
