New Humble Bundle is up, with a very nice-looking selection of non-fiction in:
Humble Book Bundle History presented by AP, full of titles from the Associated Press news service (we've previously gotten a few freebies from them in the past, at least one of which is in this bundle).
Mainly tilted towards politically-important events and personages (some of them current events), but some science and social/cultural history as well. IIRC, AP books mainly consist of collected period articles with extra commentary placing them in context.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8 (extra titles added next week), and $15.
Once again, the contents blurb has stopped describing the titles you get at each tier.

Last week's excellent
Humble Book Bundle Women of Science Fiction & Fantasy presented by Open Road Media has added another 1st-in-series Octavia Butler title and a World Fantasy Award-winning collection from Nalo Hopkinson to the middle tier.
StoryBundle has a new offering, good through the next 3 weeks, for:
The Rogue Souls Bundle containing non-fiction about games, gaming, game design, and game design history.
$5 minimum gets you 4 titles, including a set of interviews about game audio design which was conducted for a documentary, and written by someone who's also done academic books about gaming for MIT Press and Ashgate (I have some of their cultural social studies titles).
$15 top tier adds 6 more titles, including 2 histories of early video game design which may interest regular computer programmers (one apparently goes over a lot of early bugs and how they were handled with limited resources, the other includes a lot of interviews with 1980s-era computer lab hackers), as well as an unofficial companion for the apparently cult-classic titular
Rogue Souls game.
Their previous
The Lovecraft Bundle containing sfnal works (including some backlist award-nominees) directly influenced by or paying homage to the works of H. P. Lovecraft is still available for another week or so.
Bundle of Holding's new tabletop RPG gamebook offering is for
Traveller20 containing an updated of some classic science fiction game setting. Previous bundles for
Changeling: The Lost, a fantasy campaign for White Wolf's Chronicles of Darkness setting, and
Space: 1889, a hybrid Victorian-era sci-fantasy, are still available for a limited time.
