I like the current Dune cover. I think the covers for all six books look good.

I also have a soft spot for the 70's/80's Herbert covers. The ones that looked like this:



I have this one at home. Say what you want about David Lynch's Dune, but the production design was excellent.

The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard is FREE on the Subterranean Press website (US Only)

This is "a gender-swapped retelling of Sherlock Holmes with Watson as a sentient spaceship" set in de Bodard's Xuya Universe - "a timeline where Asia became dominant, and where the space age has Confucian galactic empires of Vietnamese and Chinese inspiration: scholars administrate planets, and sentient spaceships are part of familial lineages."

I've read the story and can recommend it. Another upcoming Xuya story with a similar pairing of characters has been announced this week.

The entire Fractured Europe series by Dave Hutchinson is £0.99 each on Rebellion Publishing's website.

The series starts with Europe in Autumn. It's spy thriller set in a Europe that has split into small nation states.

Oooh, I really liked her Obsidian and Blood series/trilogy. This sounds different than those, but since I mostly read mysteries, sounds like a cross-over mix of genres that I might like. Thank you!

And a bunch of other Tolkien titles on sale too, at least in the Kindle US Daily Deal: The Children of Húrin, Unfinished Tales, Beren and Lúthien, The Fall of Gondolin, maybe some others...

I'm slammed at work, so here's a (messy) link for the whole Kindle US Daily Deal page, no time to sort them out: https://smile.amazon.com/b/ref=s9_ac..._i=11552285011

I was sort of wondering why all the Tolkien in the Daily Deal - now I know there is a Tolkien Day, which I didn't know before, thank you @WillAdams

Probably easier to pick them out of the author page:

https://www.amazon.com/J-R-R-Tolkien/e/B000ARC6KA/

I already had most of them, but have also picked up Unfinished Tales and some others.

Debating on getting Letters from Father Christmas and Bilbo's Last Song --- anyone know if the pricing is typical or good for those titles? I'm thinking typical?

The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin is $2.99 on Amazon.com

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown is $2.99 on Amazon.com
This is children's novel, but is recommended.
