Today's Big Deal: Iain M Banks & Alistair Reynolds. They describe it as Science Fiction & Fantasy, but the latter is missing from the list!

So far not 99p at Kobo, but you can get a price match and an additional 10p per book. Alternatively, you can wait until the evening and see if the prices have dropped.

 
Just bought everyone I didn't have.
I let my Banks paperbacks go some years ago on the basis this day would come.
 
Just noticed Jill Bearup's Just Stab Me Now is 99p on Kindle. Not my usual fare, but I enjoyed it; fantasy romance, leavened with arguments between the main character and the author about what is reasonable. Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as dismantle it and recycle it for building material.

The Secret Hours by Mick Herron is 99p on Kindle (prequel to Slow Horses)

The Traitor's Story by Kevin Wignall is £0.99

Grabbed the 7 I didn’t already have from Kobo - they’ve followed Amazon,
