Some non-couponable markdowns that are eligible for the 4x super bonus points holiday long weekend sale at Kobo US (no bonus points on user-selected books in Canada, unfortunately), and generally just cheap anyway:
- @ $1.99 (available in Canada) The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories by Hugo & Nebula nominee Ken Liu, a collection of his short fiction from Saga Press. I really liked the stories of his which showed up in the Hugo Voter Packet in previous years, and this in an auto-buy for me.
- @ $2.99 ($6.99 CAD) Driving Blind by Ray Bradbury, who should need no introduction to this thread. A collection of his short stories, out from HarperCollins.
- @ $2.99 ($9.99 CAD) The Wizard Hunters by Martha Wells. First in her Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy out from HarperCollins. She also has some self-republished backlist books originally out from Tor and Eos at that price-point, which are couponable/eligible for the extra VIP 10% off
- @ $4.99 ($9.99 CAD) Roma Eterna by Robert Silverberg, a collection of his alternate history stories about what if the Roman empire had survived into the present day, out from HarperCollins. This is a little on the pricier side, but if you happen to want to splurge while there's a bonus points offer, it's a decent deal. I really enjoyed these stories of these, and have them in an English hardcover and French paperback somewhere.
Also, for readers of Canadian and/or francophone sfnal fiction,
x-link to the Kobo discounts thread for some Canada Day long weekend sales which have Canadian and French sf authors in them, as well as a daily rotating selection of sfnal authors in French translation for just $3.99 CAD with 5x bonus super points, if you're interested. There's Guy Gavriel Kay, Margaret Atwood, French authors Pierre Pevel, Fabrice Colin, and Pierre Pelot (including some of their actual Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire award-winning titles in the original language), and more among the lot, at the moment.
