We hadn't planned to send an email this weekend, but I happened to spot a number of great British ebook deals this afternoon, so I thought I'd round them up quickly for anyone who might be interested. You can never have too many books in the TBR ("to be read") list as winter approaches.
As always, keep in mind that deals can disappear quickly. At time of writing (Saturday the 26th), all the books below were less than $3.
