It's actually a pretty good sale, with stuff from HarperCollins that doesn't get discounted very often and backlist publishers like Jabberwocky Literary Agency (who are offering some of Tanya Huff's old DAW books), and apparently an entire section of L. Ron Hubbard if you're feeling really nostalgic.

In Canada, there's some Tolkien in it (both The Silmarillion and his more obscure non-Middle-Earth stuff), which is not offered as part of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale in the US since apparently Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has the rights to it there instead of HarperCollins.

Linkage for the respective country-specific dedicated sale pages: Canada & US

Also, French publisher Bragelonne's featured sale author of the month is Australian multiple Aurealis Award-winning fantasy author Trudi Canavan (ISFDB, Wikipedia), with all her works in translation priced at just $4.99 CAD at Kobo Canada (presumably matched in the other CA stores which carry francophone books), and should also available in France and whatever other countries also sell Bragelonne ebooks, which are DRM-free from Kobo at least, by the way.

Linkage to the dedicated page if you're interested: Tout Trudi Canavan maître du fantasy à 4,99$ ch. en juin
Does it show the romance categories in Canada? Because it doesn't in the US. Three of the four I see on the page are romance. This is why I don't even bother to look at the books Kobo puts on sale anymore - they are usually an over abundance of romance.
