New Humble Bundle is up and it's for:

Humble Book Bundle Learn Raspberry Pi + Arduino presented by Make:, chock-full of titles for DIY robotics and programming enthusiasts, from the popular magazine.

This is already up to just under $13 for the more-than-average tier (with more titles to be added next week), and is $15 for the top tier.

Quote:
Pay what you want for Make: Raspberry Pi and AVR Projects, MintDuino: Building an Arduino-compatible Breadboard Microcontroller, Make: Getting Started with Adafruit Trinket, Make: Getting Started with Adafruit FLORA, Make: Making Simple Robots, and Make: Arduino Bots and Gadgets.

Pay more than the average price to also receive Make: A Raspberry Pi-Controlled Robot; MAKE 38: High-Tech DIY; MAKE 36: Boards and Microcontrollers; Make: The Maker’s Manual; Make: JavaScript Robotics; Make: Getting Started with Sensors; Make: Getting Started with Arduino, 3rd Edition; Make: Getting Started with Raspberry Pi, 2nd Edition; and Make: AVR Programming.

Pay $15 or more for all of that plus Making Things Talk and Make: Sensors.

Plus, everyone who buys the bundle receives $10 off a print and $5 off a digital Make: Magazine subscription.
Also, last week's Humble Book Bundle Prime Sci-Fantasy has added 3 more anthologies to the more-than-average tier, including time travel, zombies, and more Cthulhu (not all in the same anthology, mind you).

StoryBundle has a new offering, good for the next 28 days:

The VanderMeer Winter Mix Tape Bundle curated by Ann (ISFDB, Wikipedia) & Jeff VanderMeer (ISFDB, Wikipedia), continues their tradition of offering speculative/experimental literary & sf/fantasy fiction from diverse sources such as translated foreign authors and niche works, many of them not available as ebooks from other sources.

There's works by Finland's Leena Krohn (ISFDB, Wikipedia), Germany's Eugen Egner (ISFDB, Wikipedia DE), Norway's Berit Ellingsen (ISFDB), as well as story contributions from better-known World Fantasy, Hugo, and Nebula award-winners and finalists.

$5 minimum gets you a World Fantasy Award-finalist novel, a literary fantasy novel, a Spanish steampunk anthology, a themed anthology of space opera featuring women heroes, and the collected edition of Leena Krohn's novels (including 2 novels not previously published in English).

$15 top tier adds 2 novels by foreign authors and 2 anthologies (one of them a complete collection of a year's worth of Clarkseworld magazine stories; the other an imaginary bestiary filled with stories by notable fantasy authors including China Mieville), as well as Leena Krohn's collected short fiction.

This is pretty much an auto-buy for me, since I'm always interested in seeing speculative fiction from other countries/cultures, and the complete set of Krohn novels alone would probably make it worth it in monetary terms, even if the other stuff didn't look interesting (which it does).
