Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is on sale for $2.99 CDN at Kobo and and also at amazon.ca.

I enjoyed Bardugo's Shadow & Bone, so this separate series in the same universe sounds interesting.

I only read the first two books of the first series, which was too YA for my tastes. I understand Six of Crows is more "adult" - it's a heist novel.

Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Translated by Xan Fielding.
Quote:
First published more than fifty years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history.

In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems.

They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.

Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Newish release. First in a series. Debut novel.
Review in Locus by Liz Bourke
Quote:
Fast-paced fantasy rooted in Slavic folklore.

As a witch in the walled city of Chernograd, Kosara has plenty of practice treating lycanthrope bites, bargaining with kikimoras, and slaying bloodsucking upirs. There's only one monster she can't defeat: her ex, the Zmey, known as the Tsar of Monsters. She's defied him one too many times and now he's hunting her. Betrayed by someone close to her, Kosara's only choice is to trade her shadow -- the source of her powers -- for a quick escape.

Unfortunately, Kosara soon develops the deadly sickness that plagues shadowless witches -- and only reclaiming her magic can cure her. To find it, she's forced to team up with a suspiciously honorable detective. Even worse, all the clues point in a single direction: To get her shadow back, Kosara will have to face the Foul Days' biggest threats without it. And she's only got twelve days.

But in a city where everyone is out for themselves, who can Kosara trust to assist her in outwitting the biggest monster from her past?

Is this a Rom-com Fantasy with an overlay of spice (as my favorite and delightful husband/wife team of reviewers might say).

It's a very good series. Well worth reading. I've read about 1/2 so far.

I slogged through the first one. I found the premise underlying the series dumb.

But then again, I find most time travel stories an exercise is dumbness.
