Note that it's a repeat,

I loved that book. She's also written under the name Sarah Monette.

Guards, Guards! by Terry Pratchett is just £0.99 in today's Kindle Daily Deal.

Despite being the eighth in his Discworld series, it's the first to feature Sam Vimes of the Night Watch, and a good place to start. (Unless you're fanatical about reading series in publication order.)
I'm going to disagree about this being a good place to start. The best place to start with Discworld is at the beginning and read in published (also chronological) order.

Personally, I loathed the early Rincewind books, which is what you'll start with by starting with The Colour of Magic. As a result, I dumped the series in the late 80s and didn't go back to it until the mid 2000s. I'm slowly picking up the ebooks at 99p; and I'm prepared to wait for them.

It really depends on your taste; I'm happy just to have the City Watch books and keep them, the rest (as far as I am concerned) can be left to one side.

Clearly my disclaimer wasn't bold or big enough to ward you off. Let me repeat it here, bigger and bolder

I wouldn't say loathe, but the first few books are quite different to the rest of the series, he really hadn't found his style.
Discworld really isn't a series of books, it is multiple series set in the same universe.
I like most of the books, but the City Watch series is my favourite, and I would also recommend starting there.

I wasn't going to start this discussion again, but I also read the first few book when they came out, and decided they weren't for me. Too banal. I picked up one of the Guards series ( Clay Feet ) and immediately started into that sub-series and loved it. Started giving away copies, etc.

So I also do NOT advise going chronologically.

Pale Demon (Hollows #9)
by Kim Harrison

is $1.99 at U.S. stores

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/pale-demon

Below is the blurb:
New York Times bestselling urban fantasy superstar Kim Harrison is back with Pale Demon—her ninth electrifying adventure featuring contemporary witch Rachel Morgan. This time Rachel's leaving the Hollows, on a cross-country road trip with a pixy, an elf, and a vampire, as she races to clear her blackened name at a California witches' convention in order to avoid an eternity of torment at the claws of a soul-devouring demon. Pale Demon is Kim Harrison at her gothic best—combining mystery, action, intrigue, paranormal romance, and breathtaking dark fantasy in a delicious witches’ brew that fans of Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Stephenie Meyer, and Jim Butcher simply will not be able to resist.

The Book of Magic: A Collection of Stories edited by Gardner Dozois is currently $1.99 at various etailers.

Quote:
A new anthology celebrating the witches and sorcerers of epic fantasy—featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Megan Lindholm, and many others!

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois’s acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf . . . and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda . . . and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore . . . and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped—or misshaped—by the potent magic they seek to wield. Yet though their abilities may be godlike, these men and women remain human—some might say all too human. Such is their curse. And their glory.

In these pages, seventeen of today’s top fantasy writers—including award-winners Elizabeth Bear, John Crowley, Kate Elliott, K. J. Parker, Tim Powers, and Liz Williams—cast wondrous spells that thrillingly evoke the mysterious, awesome, and at times downright terrifying worlds where magic reigns supreme: worlds as far away as forever, and as near as next door.
