Bargain @ $1.99-$2.99 for some historical fiction about historical women, by modern women novelists (prices should be the same in the usual stores in Canada & the US):
@ $1.99 (non-couponable) from Crown/Archetype and HarperCollins:
@ $2.99 (couponable/VIP-eligible) from Sourcebooks Landmark: The Tudor Rose by the late Margaret Campbell Barnes (Fantastic Fiction), a vintage historical novel about Elizabeth of York (Wikipedia), 3rd in her Shadows of the Crown sequence about famous troubled English queens, originally published in 1953. @ $1.99 (non-couponable) from the Random Penguin House's Ballantine Books acquisition for an sfnal novel: The Virgin's Daughter by Laura Andersen (ISFDB), 1st in her Tudor Legacy trilogy of speculative what-if alternate history drama novels, this one positing what if Elizabeth I had married and had a legitimate daughter as her heir (the author has previously written a trilogy about what-if Anne Boleyn had given Henry VIII a living son, and apparently this is the sequel to that), which looks mildly interesting, and a decent low cost to try.

I liked Pope Joan, for what that is worth.

Cool; I was wondering whether or not I wanted to try it. Thanks for the rec! Some $0.99/£0.99 historical novel bargains available from UK publishers Hodder and Orion in Canada & the UK (some may be US also; should be the same price in all the usual stores):
And if you happen to like those sentimental 1920s-WWII and UK-regional tearjerker and family saga novels that seem to be very popular in the UK, chances are good that a large number of them are discounted to $0.99/£0.99 as well. Authors I spotted included Alexandra Connor, Billy Hopkins, Josephine Cox, Harry Bowling, Benita Brown, Pamela Evans, Joan Jonker, Margaret Thornton, Dee Williams, Rita Bradshaw, Kate Tremayne (actually 18th century Cornwall novels which are marketed as a Poldark-alike), Rosie Goodwin, Lena Kennedy, Anna Jacobs (also some 19th century immigration to far-off lands stuff), Pam Rhodes, Sally Warboyes, Jessica Sterling, Alexandra Raife, Hilary Green, who all appear to be doing well enough that they've had multiple discounted novels published which kept their names popping up in the listings while I was browsing.

Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon (linkage for the lot), 13 assorted novels by South Africa-resident Ruth Benjamin, an Orthodox Jewish author who has been published by Jewish specialty houses Hachai, Feldheim (Wikipedia), & Targum (Wikipedia), and small press CIS Communications.
There's a mix of her backlist from them and what look like self-pubs, including literary novels and past secrets journey-of-self-discovery drama, YA mystery & general (originally under the penname Ruth Abrahamson), and a technothriller. Several stories are set in South Africa, and most have something or other to do with Jewish heritage themes, and may or may not be dedicated religious fiction (or might just be regular stories centred around Jewish characters; YMMV).

Nine free ebooks from Lighthouse Publishers. All fiction. Some of the books or in some places in the books there may be some religious statements, allusions, etc. (I'm not sure of this, I'm going on the basis of things that I know about the publisher).
Deal good through tomorrow, Friday, May 11. http://mailchi.mp/lpcbooks/free-kindle-ebook-may-928393. |

This is not really GtrsRGr8. GtrsRGr8 wouldn't be caught dead posting fiction books, much less 16 of them. Someone is going by my . . . er . . . his name.
From an eBooks.com email message to me: Dear Customer This selection of popular Fiction and Nonfiction is heavily discounted with titles at up to 80% off their regular prices. For a limited time only, Penguin Random House are offering the bestselling eBooks featured below at just $1.99 each. Included are favorites by Maya Banks, Catherine Coulter, Paul Auster, Elizabeth Gilbert, Judy Blume, Goldie Hawn, and others. Be quick, this SALE is too good to miss out. Diffulgia and I have talked about eBooks.com a little bit. He mentioned several benefits of buying from them including, if I'm not mistaken, that their ebooks are DRM-Free. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to open the email in a browser, as we can with so many ones that we get. If you think that you might be interested, all that I can recommend is going to their website and search and look around until you find these $1.99 Penguin deals. |

I didn't see anything on the front page that jumps out with $1.99 Penguin deals. Did the email list every book individually with a link, or is there anywhere in the email a link that says "if you can't read this in your email program click here"? |

The main downside to ebooks.com is that they don't discount anything themselves, but that was a much bigger problem before agency pricing. |

The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan
Today only, $1.99 in US, $CAN2.99 Spanning more than forty years and two continents, The Valley of Amazement resurrects pivotal episodes in history: from the collapse of China's last imperial dynasty, to the rise of the Republic, the explosive growth of lucrative foreign trade and anti-foreign sentiment, to the inner workings of courtesan houses and the lives of the foreign "Shanghailanders" living in the International Settlement, both erased by World War II. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BATG18K/ |

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is one of the Kindle UK daily deals today at £0.99. Steinbeck's books don't seem to go on sale very often, and are outrageously priced when not on sale, so I'm happy to be able to pick this one up.

Thanks, Suefue. I note that the audible narration is 3.99 so that makes it an excellent deal
