Hugo & Nebula Awards: Best Novels discussion

NOTE added 9/9/19 . . . this thread mostly has short-term deals on US Kindle versions of Hugo and Nebula nominees and winners. Obviously, many date back a long time. BUT . . . on page 6 and 7 of this discussion there are some low prices on books that I think may be permanent. I went through the list of nominees and found some of the more obscure titles at prices like $2.99 and $3.99. You can see where I started if you look. I will post more if I find any more.

Just because these are US Kindle deals doesn't mean that they might not be on sale in other eformats or in other countries. But since I am reading US Kindle books, that's what I am looking for . . . sorry!

Also, feel free to post deals you find on Hugo/Nebula and Hugo/Nebula related books here. By "related," I mean, i.e., the second book in a series is nominated, but you found a sale on a first book that should be read before the second book.

If you have other deals on books you really want everyone to know about, you can post them here, or, every once in a while, something is so cool, I will post it over in the Random Chatter thread. Like big comic book sales, for example.

This is one of the nominees for the next Monthly Read, might be a good idea to grab it while on sale.

Whilst browsing Harry Harrison's Kindle offerings as a result of there being a Stainless Steel Rat book offered cheap today, I found an omnibus that has both of his H/N books in it, plus a bunch of other stuff, for only $1.99, which I think might be its everyday price

https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Harrison...

$2.99 today only--Ender's Shadow is not H/N, but it is a retelling of Ender's Game from a different viewpoint and is, I think, the second best thing Orson Scott Card ever wrote. (Granted, I haven't read too many.)

James Blish "A Case of Conscience" 1950's Hugo winner today $2.99

Picoverse by Robert Metzger $1.99 not sure for how long

I'm not getting it. On GR, it is only rated 3.39 so not bothering. It's another one of those Nebula nominees that the authors seem to like, but I probably won't

There are a bunch of book deals here

Sorry

I will try and keep you updated if there is anything interesting among Nebulas. So far The Love We Share Without Knowing was one that I enjoyed but I cannot imagine it being up your alley.

Nebula award winner Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler $1.99 today only

https://www.amazon.com/Parable-Talent...

It's the second in a series, though

I really like Octavia Butler. Wild Seed and the series was awesome. I haven't read this one yet, but I look forward to it.

I have not read any yet, but if you nominate some, I will second for you. You pick!

Bryan . . . note that the series has been on sale as a set for 2.99 before in "Earthseed, the complete series." So I am thinking that it may be again. Sometimes they repeat.

So this purchase may not be the best choice. If you are reading instead of listening, that is!

Both of Becky Chambers Wayfarer books are on sale for $2.99, of which A Closed and Common Orbit (#2) is a Nebula Nominee.

https://www.amazon.com/Closed-Common-...

https://www.amazon.com/Long-Small-Ang...

NOTE: The non-nominated Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is a Goodreads deal and is supposed to be good for 14 more days. The Nebula nominee A Closed and Common Orbit I found by accident when surfing around Amazon. So no idea how long. But I think, Art, it must be a series . . . do you have it as a series?

Holy Crap...like all my favorite books are on sale right now. Everyone should get Becky Chambers' two books as well. They are just solid sci fi!

yep, it's like that . . . a dry spell and then too many books to buy them all

Jeffery Carver Eternity's End Nebula nominee for only 99 cents!

https://www.amazon.com/Eternitys-End-...

I mentioned it in another thread, but since y'all mentioned Octavia Butler, 2 of her novels, along with many other novels, are in the current Humble Bundle (for 5 more days):

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/su...

You'd have to pay $15 to get both Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents, but they come with other good books and the money supports the Nebula awards organization.

You can get them both Kindle for $4.99 here

Hoping to find a bundle of this, $4 is a bit steep I suppose.
