"Teach" is the most commonly used spelling of Blackbeard's surname today, but only because it was the one used by Captain Charles Johnson, the pseudonymous author of an eighteenth-century book on piracy that was a major influence on the popular image of the pirate. "Thatch" and variant spellings are actually more common in the contemporary documents relating to Blackbeard, and as such arguably more correct, though it's unlikely we'll ever know for sure which, if either, was his real name.

The Grim Company by Luke Scull is less than $2 at Kobo. Be careful as there are two editions. This one is by Head of Zeus. The other is by Pengiun and is >$10.

Blood of Dragons (last book in the Rain Wilds Chronicles) by Robin Hobb is $1.99 at Amazon right now.
http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Dragons-...rds=robin+hobb I picked it up for that price because I know I will read the series eventually, but I don't even have books 1-3 yet, haha. |

Today it looks like Amazon had gone back to $16.18 for the Kindle version. But looking over at B&N and now *they* have it at $1.99

http://www.fictionbundle.com/ has a bundle of Frank Herbert's The Godmakers, plus T.A. Pratt's Bone Shop and books by Brad R, Torgersen, Kevin J. Anderson, David Farland and Dean Wesley Smith for $6. Plus if you kick in a bit more, you get The Complete Stories of Tim Pratt (So Far). Unfortunately The Golden Queen by David Farland is only the first book in a trilogy. But iut's still pretty inexpensive in retail.
