The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials
by Philip Pullman is $1.99 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Compass...Golden+compass Below is the blurb: “The most magnificent fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings.” --The Oregonian Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want. But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other. . . . A New York Times Bestseller A Newsweek Top 100 Book of All Time An Entertainment Weekly All-Time Greatest Novel Winner of the Guardian Prize for Children's Fiction "Very grand indeed." --The New York Times "Superb . . . all-stops-out thrilling." --The Washington Post "A shattering tale that begins with a promise and delivers an entire universe." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred "The Golden Compass is one of the best fantasy / adventure stories that I have read. This is a book no one should miss."--Terry Brooks |

Doggone those Mongol barbarians! They just won't stop. Now picked up...Thank you! Here's the older (and much better) cover, in my opinion, that many remember....if you're not a teenager. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 02-14-2016 at 07:18 PM. |

Bargain @ $1.99 CAD/USD from HarperCollins e-books (not couponable at Kobo), available in Canada & the US at most of the usual stores (Gollancz has the UK rights; EU has the HC edition, but appears full-price when I spot-checked).
The Birthday of the World and Other Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin (if you're in this thread, you shouldn't need Wikipedia linkage for her), a collection of relatively recently-written stories mostly set in her popular Ekumen universe. This is an auto-buy for me. ![]() Additional linkage for Amazon, Google Play, iTunes for your preferred store. B&N might drop later, but right now it's still $9.99. For more than four decades, Ursula K. Le Guin has enthralled readers with her imagination, clarity, and moral vision. The recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the National Book Award, the Kafka Award, and five Hugo and five Nebula Awards, this renowned writer has, in each story and novel, created a provocative, ever-evolving universe filled with diverse worlds and rich characters reminiscent of our earthly selves. Now, in The Birthday of the World, this gifted artist returns to these worlds in eight brilliant short works, including a never-before-published novella, each of which probes the essence of humanity. Here are stories that explore complex social interactions and troublesome issues of gender and sex; that define and defy notions of personal relationships and of society itself; that examine loyalty, survival, and introversion; that bring to light the vicissitudes of slavery and the meaning of transformation, religion, and history. The first six tales in this spectacular volume are set in the author's signature world of the Ekumen, "my pseudo-coherent universe with holes in the elbows," as Le Guin describes it -- a world made familiar in her award-winning novel The Left Hand of Darkness. The seventh, title story was hailed by Publishers Weekly as "remarkable . . . a standout." The final offering in the collection, Paradises Lost, is a mesmerizing novella of space exploration and the pursuit of happiness. In her foreword, Ursula K. Le Guin writes, "to create difference-to establish strangeness-then to let the fiery arc of human emotion leap and close the gap: this acrobatics of the imagination fascinates and satisfies me as no other." In The Birthday of the World, this gifted literary acrobat exhibits a dazzling array of skills that will fascinate and satisfy us all. |

Huh. After I paid full price for it, a while back!
Oh. Well, it's only cheaper in the UK so nevermind! Glad I bought it when I wanted it. |
