New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:

Humble Book Bundle LEGO presented by No Starch Press chock-full of titles about everyone's favourite Danish building blocks.

There's a mix of DIY building and artbooks, including a nifty mini-history illustrated with recreated LEGO® scenes, which I've read from the library and recommend, especially since it's in the minimum tier.

Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week). Several titles in it are repeats from previous HB, but there's plenty of new stuff, including an illustrated guide to the history of architecture using LEGO®, which looks pretty nifty.

Books for everyone on the block. We've assembled a virtual stack of No Starch Press books for you and for the LEGO fans in your life (of any age)! But you might not want to LEGO of these books once you have them. We're just sayin'.

Pay $1 or more for The LEGO Adventure Book, Volume 1; Medieval LEGO; The LEGO Build-It Book, Volume 1; and Beautiful LEGO.

Pay $8 or more and you’ll also get The LEGO Build-It Book, Vol.2: More Amazing Vehicles; The Cult of LEGO; LEGO Space; The LEGO Technic Idea Book: Fantastic Contraptions; Incredible Technic; and Forbidden LEGO.

Pay $15 or more for all of that plus The LEGO Architect; The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book; The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Discovery Book; The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol.1: Machines and Mechanisms; The LEGO Neighborhood Book; and Steampunk LEGO.

Last week's Humble RPG Book Bundle Fiction Faves containing the officially licensed tabletop gaming sourcebooks for various popular sfnal book franchises is still available.

Speaking of RPGs based on popular sfnal book franchises, Bundle of Holding's new offers include: The One Ring containing as you might have guessed, the tie-in gamebooks for J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth, out from Cubicle 7 Entertainment and Sophisticated Games. There's also the Old School Revival +4 containing a mix of assorted vintage RPGs, and the Lovecraftian Bundle of Tentacles +4 is still on offer for a limited time.

Book View Café has rotated their monthly specials, and there's a bunch of stuff at the 99 cent level across various genres.

Probably of most interest for NaNoWriMo will be the two 99 cent writing advice books:

• Brewing Fine Fiction: Advice for Writers from the Authors at the Book View Café, a collection of assorted essays by many prominent established sfnal authors, including Hugo & Nebula Award winner Vonda N. McIntyre, SFWA Grandmaster Ursula K. Le Guin, and more.
• Ink Dance: Essays on the Writing Life by DAW-published author Deborah J. Ross (ISFDB, Wikipedia) containing her advice and insights from a 20+ year career, is also being offered again.

And finally, if you happen to like mythology-based fantasy, recent Asimov Reader's Choice Award winner Gregory Frost's (ISFDB, Wikipedia) novel Táin, 1st in his duology based on the Irish literary classic Táin Bó Cúailnge (Wikipedia) aka the story of the Cattle Raid between Ulster and Connacht and the legendary hero Cú Chulainn, is also just 99 cents from the BVC and reputed to be a very good rendition.
