A SF/F book collection from Humble Bundle
Jan. 5th, 2023 01:24 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
thewayneTachyon Books releasing twenty books for $18 in PDF, epub, and Mobi format, featuring Brandon Sanderson, Bruce Sterling, and a host of other authors, male and female. Most of the books are novels, there are a few short story collections. A couple of the books I absolutely will not touch, but a lot of them look quite interesting. And at less than a buck per, certainly a good deal.
As usual, no DRM.
The charity for this bundle is Gameheads, described as: "We are a tech training program that uses video game design, development and DevOps to create diverse talent and bold new voices, train youth of color for the tech eco-system, and prepare them for college, career and civic life. Teaching areas include: Project management, art and animation, software development and programming fundamentals, project management, game design, level design, video game history/theory and more." Sounds like a worthwhile charity to me! You can adjust the percentage of your purchase for how much goes to the charity with sliders, personally I try to split it into rough thirds.
This bundle just launched today and will be up for another twenty days.

Date: 2023-01-05 11:04 pm (UTC)Humble has gotten SO MUCH money from me over the past decade or so! :-) Not to mention Story Bundle and the two ebook newsletters that I receive every day. My wife was in Salt Lake City last night for a doctor appt, she's almost home right now, and she asked me if I'd read a certain kid's book series, I'd never heard of it. It involved a Welsh minstrel who lied so much that a wizard enchanted his harp that whenever he lied, a string broke. While we were talking on the phone, I did a keyword search, found it in the Apple book store, bought the five book series as an omnibus, and sent it to her. She was very pleased. I'm looking forward to reading it as I'm between books at the mo.
