Brandon Sanderson writes some of the best books out there today and you can get one of them for super cheap!

• Click here to read about The Emperor’s Soul by Brandon Sanderson

If you want to buy it, it’s available at this sale price at most eBook stores. Here are links to the Amazon Kindle (U.S. and Canadian) and Kobo stores.

• Click here to get The Emperor’s Soul @ Amazon.com
• Click here to get The Emperor’s Soul @ Amazon.ca
• Click here to get The Emperor’s Soul @ Kobobooks.com

First off, the book is normally $4.99 but this month it’s only $2.96. You save $2. This sale is directly from the books publisher, Dragonsteel Entertainment, so the price is actually the same (or similar) on any eBook store that carries it. I guess the two big ones in Canada would be Kobo and Amazon which both carry the book for about $3.

I have not read this book but I’ve read over a half dozen of Sanderson’s other books and they are great. If you’re into Epic Fantasy or, at this price, even if you aren’t, you have got to read his stuff. This particular book is a novella so it’s short and simple to get in to. MY first published book is a novella and I really dig the format. A lot of people, I think, disdain novellas because they think a shorter book is ripping you off. Sometimes the story just isn’t supposed to be that long and it just has to be a shorter format. My book is short because I used it as an intro to a bigger series. Just because a novella is short doesn’t mean that you’re getting a lesser story, the author is probably giving you exactly what you need!

So if you need a quick, awesome story, maybe for a plane ride or a car trip, this is a good choice!

Put all your books in an eReader and your eReader in a case from Sony Canada!

Some of the items on sale are:

• Sony Reader (PRST2) - Was $119.99 – Save $20 – Now $99.99
• Refurbished Sony Reader (PRST1) with Case - Was $119.99 – Save $20 – Now $99.99 (includes case, a $39.99 value)
• Case for Sony Reader (PRST2) - Was $39.99 - Save $20 – Now $19.99

I am a huge proponent for eReaders. I think if you’re gonna read a book, having a paper book is dumb. That’s why my book is only on eReader and getting a paper copy is really a side project. If I get it out as a paperback, that’s fine. If I don’t get it out as a paperback, that’s fine too. The reason is that paper books, as much as people want to deny it, are dying. Amazon, the biggest book retailer in the world, is and has been for the last two years, selling more eBooks than paper books.

So if you haven’t made the jump to the eBooks world, or if you’re looking to upgrade your eReader, this is a great chance to do it. The Sony Reader is 6″ so it’s ultra portable, and the eInk touchscreen means that it will last a very long time between charges. For content you can shop the Sony eBook store or load your own ePub or PDF files

Standard shipping is free for smaller items, but the cost for express delivery and larger items depends on location and quantity/weight.

Kobo Books Canada is offering The Da Vinci Code ebook by Dan Brown absolutely free for the next few days! This is a fun book to read and certainly a great freebie you don’t want to miss out on.

• Click here to get The Da Vinci Code for Free @ Kobobooks

I am sure everyone has heard of this book! It was a bestseller when it came out in 2003 and caused quite the controversy due to its religious themes even though the book is, and always will be, fiction.

I read this book seven years ago, and as a sucker for a good mystery, I finished the book in two days flat! It was a fun read and perhaps even more fun because I am not Catholic so the huge religious undertones (and overtones) didn’t bother me. I know some people have taken issue with Dan Brown’s use of religion in his books… but I think it is an excellent setting for a mystery. As religion is based on faith, what better place to stage a mystery which is based on a lack of facts?

What some people have criticized, and what I actually rather liked about the book, is anyone can read it. You don’t need to have a dictionary on hand to define big scholarly words because an author thinks himself unable to write at the common level of understanding. This is where Dan Brown excels: he has wrote a fun and interesting novel that is of a reading level that anyone should be able to enjoy it. He also managed to write a book that heavily involves religious symbolism that even a non-religious person or someone from a different religion could enjoy.

So, if you like a good mystery or you like free books, I suggest picking up The Da Vinci Code for free.

Kobobooks has a fantastic selection of great reads under (or at) $4.99! I love this selection of reads because reading is an important part of self-education and this selection is fit for nearly any budget!

• Click here for cheap reads @ Kobo Books

There are some pretty good books in this section from pretty famous authors. First on the list is Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons - a really popular book that was turned into a movie. I saw the movie, but never read the book. Priced at $3.99 there is no reason this can’t be on your reading list.

A book I am completely unfamiliar with called Fever Dream by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child has got great ratings – 4/5 with 9224 votes! Priced at only $1.99 it is really inexpensive.

Another relative unknown with fabulous ratings is Abandon by Meg Cabot. It will only cost you $2.69. 14,362 ratings give this book a 4/5 star rating. That is pretty darn impressive.

Amazon Canada has a great little feature where you can get 50 Kindle books for $1 each! There is a selection from mystery & thrillers, science fiction, literature & general fiction, and kids & teens.

• Click here to shop 50 Kindle Books for $1 Each

I can’t list all 50 here, but here are some of the titles that caught my eye:

• The Complete Novels of Jane Austen: Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, and Lady Susan: Emma, … (w/Lady Susan) (The Heirloom Collection)
• The Hitman’s Guide to Housecleaning
• The Complete Sherlock Holmes: Volumes 1-4 (The Heirloom Collection)
• Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep!

Each of those is only $1. Yes, the complete collection of Jane Austen novels is only $1. Amazing. As an English major I really should own this set – as Jane Austen professors (professors who worship Austen) are pretty common. This is a sale list to really keep tabs on, because it looks like it will renew often.

You don’t actually need a Kindle to read these books. There are Kindle reading apps available for iPhones and most androids.

HumbleBundle makes me so happy I want to punch a clown right in the face for not bringing the same level of cheer to me. That’s right, I will cause physical harm to performers who are loved by children far and wide, just because they can’t make me as happy as HumbleBundle does!

• Click here to get The Humble eBook Bundle @ HumbleBundle.com

So HumbleBundle is just about the greatest thing around. Basically, they get a bunch of content producers (traditionally mobile app devs) to donate content (traditionally mobile apps) to them so their apps can be sold with the money given straight to charity. This is a little bit of a different HumbleBundle because they are featuring $157 worth of DRM FREE eBooks!

Specifically they are offering SciFi and Fantasy eBooks. You get five books, but if you donate above the average price of, as of this writing, $13.74, you get seven more books. These aren’t your piddling 99 cent amateur Fantasy books like the stuff I write, oh no, this is high end stuff. We’re talkin’ about the likes of Bacigalupi, Scalzi and Doctorow. Not enough? Hows about I hit you with a little Gaiman and McKean! BOOM! K.O.’d!

Another great feature is that you can split where the money goes. You can give it all to the charity, all to the authors or all to the (non=profit) HumbleBundle people. You can also split it between all three and within there, you can break it up more. Really like Gaiman? Give him 50% of your money. Like Cory Doctorow and the EFF, split it 50/50 between the two. Wanna stick it to the authors and their charities!? Give it all to the HumbleBundle!

Also, I’m going to call this one right now: BargainMoose’s Benevolent Dictator for Life, Anna Waters, is going to buy this. Anna, let us know in the comments!

Besides that, the book list is not really my type of reading material. Some are well thought of though, like Ablutions By Patrick DeWitt. It has 704 ratings for 4/5 stars. at $7 after coupon, it certainly won’t break the piggy bank.
