Book Bundles? Pay What You Want

I've got two book bundles to tell you about tonight, both around $10 - Humble eBook Bundle 2 and StoryBundle

So Humble Bundle - known for it's video game bundles where you pay what you want for video games - has done it's second Hunble eBook Bundle.  I purchased the last bundle last year, and we plan to buy this editions books.

Books included in the Humble eBook Bundle 2 are:
  • Little Brother by Cory Dctorow
  • Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
  • Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
  • Shreds of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold
And if you pay more than the average you get, in addition to the above:
  • The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle 
  • Just a Geek by Wil Wheaton
As of right now (the night of July 9), the average price to pay, to get the last two books is $9.49.  Not a bad price to pay to get 6 books.

Now for StoryBundle.com.  I heard about this site from an author that was talking about the books listed on it.  Before this week, I had never heard of StoryBundle, but I was pleasantly surprised.  It's just like Humble Bundle, but for books - and they have regular new bundles.

In this bundle, for a minimum of $10, you get all these books:
  • Hopscotch by Kevin J. Anderson
  • In Hero Years ... I'm Dead by Michael A. Stackpole
  • On My Way to Paradise by David Farland
  • Santiago by Mike Resnick
  • Swarm by B.V. Larson
  • The Disappeared by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
  • High-Opp by Frank Herbert*
  • The Stars in Shroud by Gregory Benford*
If you pay less than $10, you won't get the last two books listed.

The cool thing about this bundle, you can choose how much the site gets and how much the authors get - and you can pay as much or as little as you want - just like Humble Bundle.

As I see more bundles like these pop up, I'll definitely post about them.  Enjoy!
