Oh, and if you go this route, clear the cache on each app when you check it If it's significant.

Thanks - I'll have to add it back to the OP again

I wonder why they took it down in the first place? Oh well, it's free again.

Grab it fast people. Who knows how long Tantor will keep it up this time.

Nook Daily Find -- exp 18 Oct

$2.99 -- Rest of Us Just Live Here -- Patrick Ness/ James Fouhey --> 6.4 hrs/ R-3.9 --> YA fantasy

The Rest of Us Just Live Here

Whispersync: Audible ($11.49) | Kindle ($9.99)

A new YA novel from novelist Patrick Ness, author of the Carnegie Medal- and Kate Greenaway Medal-winning A Monster Calls and the critically acclaimed Chaos Walking trilogy, The Rest of Us Just Live Here is a bold and irreverent novel that powerfully reminds us that there are many different types of remarkable.

What if you aren't the Chosen One? The one who's supposed to fight the zombies, or the soul-eating ghosts, or whatever the heck this new thing is, with the blue lights and the death?

What if you're like Mikey? Who just wants to graduate and go to prom and maybe finally work up the courage to ask Henna out before someone goes and blows up the high school. Again.

Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week's end of the world, and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life.

Even if your best friend is worshipped by mountain lions.

Downpour -- Rental of the Week -- exp 24 Oct

$0.99 -- Honeymoon -- Patrick Modiano/ Bronson Pinchot --> 3.5 hrs/ R-4.7 --> literary

Whispersync: no deals at this time | Audible

Jean B. is submerged in a world where night and day, past and present have no demarcations. Having spent his entire adult life making documentary movies about lost explorers, Jean suddenly decides to abandon his wife and career and takes what seems to be a journey to nowhere. He spends his solitary days recounting or imagining the lives of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he met more than twenty years ago. Little by little, their story takes on more reality than Jean’s existence, as his excavation of the past slowly becomes an all-encompassing obsession.

In Honeymoon, Patrick Modiano constructs an existential tale of suspense, longing, and of the past’s hold over a shifting, ambiguous present. Barbara Wright’s translation remains true to Modiano’s simple, melodious prose of a born storyteller.

Downpour -- Deal of the Week -- exp 24 Oct

$4.95 -- My Best Friend’s Exorcism -- Grady Hendrix/ Emily Zeller --> 10.2 hrs/ R-4.1 --> horror

Whispersync: Audible ($4.99) | Kindle ($14.99)

A heartwarming story of friendship and demonic possession

The year is 1988. High school sophomores Abby and Gretchen have been best friends since the fourth grade. But after an evening of skinny dipping goes disastrously wrong, Gretchen begins to act … different. She’s moody. She’s irritable. And bizarre incidents keep happening whenever she’s nearby.

Abby’s investigation leads her to some startling discoveries—and by the time their story reaches its terrifying conclusion, the fate of Abby and Gretchen will be determined by a single question: Is their friendship powerful enough to beat the devil?

Like an unholy hybrid of Beaches and The Exorcist, My Best Friend’s Exorcism blends teen angst, adolescent drama, unspeakable horrors, and a mix of 80s pop songs into a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller.

I had gotten to the point that I felt that Downpour should call them the "deal (instead of deals)" of the week and month.

Why? Every time that I looked, yes, the first weekly deal was, in fact, a good deal. But, while the rest were ostensibly marked down, they were by no means good deals.

However, I noticed that this time is different, for the weekly deals, only, apparently. The first audiobook is a great deal and so were the rest of them (On the Road with Bob Dylan looks like a great one. $4.95 download. 4.3 (18) at Amazon. Long play--nearly 16 hours). I spot-checked the monthly deals and they were about as usual.

I encourage you to check out the weekly deals.

Bob Dylan must still be ON the road. The nobel prize committee can't find him, to give him the cash associated with his award!

I think that he absented himself on purpose. I know his type, because I am one of them. They hate being in crowds, they hate being the center of attention, they hate ritual, pomp, and circumstance.

Now, if I could only compose music and play the guitar . . . .

I don't know how much cash it is, but if Bob has even halfway reasonably managed his earnings over the years (and I don't have any reason to think that he didn't), the award money would be chump change to him.
