On the sci-fi and fantasy front, if you’re a fan of Dune’s new show and like the idea of exploring the lore more thoroughly, Tales of Dune: Expanded Edition is on sale right now for $2 . It’s a collection of short stories set in the Dune universe and gives you more behind-the-scenes lore and worldbuilding than you’d otherwise see. Another great option is Changing Planes by Ursula K. Le Guin, who is easily one of the best sci-fi authors of our time, along with Isaac Asimov and the like. It’s similarly a collection of short stories using a psychic mind trick to travel to different and strange destinations, and if you’d like to check it out, the book is going for just $3 .
Moving on to something a bit more thrilling, Call the Canaries Home is the story of a family broken apart by a kidnapping and a time capsule nearly 30 years later, potentially revealing some interesting information. It’s an interesting look at loss and redemption, and you can pick it up for $2.5 . Another great psychological suspense book revolving around disappearances is The Day I Disappeared, which follows a girl’s disappearance and reappearance with no memory and a similar event happening nearly 20 years later, and you can grab it for $2 . Equally grim but moving away from disappearances, what happens when a wealthy man dies in a small town where everybody knows everybody, and the investigator dispatched to solve the murder is from out of town? No Strangers Here might be a bit formulaic, but it’s still a great Irish thriller worth reading, especially since you can pick it up for $4 .
If you’re looking for something a bit more biographical and non-fiction, there are a lot of great picks for that too, such as We Few: U.S. Special Forces in Vietnam for $4 , and is the memoir of a member of the Special Forces that served in East Asia. If you want something a bit closer to home, This House of Sky: Landscapes of a Western Mind is a look at the wilderness and small towns of middle America and how they shaped society over time, and you can grab it for $3 . On the other hand, if you’d like something a bit more historical, Edward III: The Perfect King is going for $3 and gives you a comprehensive look at Edward III’s 50 years of monarchy.
