Got a really well times email from Storybundle today since I have $15 I couldn't spend on books at Humble.

The SF&F Binge Reader Bundle

Website Blurb
By my count (and I might be a bit math-challenged), you get 19 standalone novels in this bundle. Some of the novels are long, and some of them are short. But 19 novels! Plus more short stories than I'm willing to count, wrapped in 7 anthologies and a gigantic bundle that is bigger than your average anthology.

$5

The Digital Sea Complete Box Set - Tomas K Carpenter - (4 Books)
The Fates Trilogy - Kristine Grayson - (Yes 3 Books)
Uncollected Anthology Year 1 - (21 Short Stories)
The Faerie Summer Bundle - (20 Short Stories)

$15

The Thunder Mountain Starter Bundle - Dean Wesley Smith - (3 Books)
The Washington Witches Series Volumes 1-3 - Mindy Klasky - (Yeah 3 Books again)
Feyguard Books 1-3 - Anthea Sharp - (yep another 3 Books)
The Diving Series Starter Bundle - Kristine Kathryn Rush - (3 Books)
The Science Officer Omnibus 1 - Blaze Ward - (4 Novellas)

--
Wow I learnt something new looking up these Dean Wesley Smith is married to Kristine Kathryn Rusch, not sure how that will affect my life but it's something I did not know.
The Rush was what caught my eye having read a few of the short stories in the universe, in fact one was in the May/June Asimov of this year.

There is a second bundle that has 8 days left called

The Aurora Award Bundle 2

Website Blurb
This time, the bundle provides a great introduction to several wonderful series, including the first book in four separate series and the second book in a series that can be read as a stand-alone title. It also lets you sample the rich tradition of Canadian short speculative fiction, with two acclaimed collections.

5 books for $5, 10 for $15.

--
Aurora is the name of the Canadian sf and fantasy association.

So with humble going to the dark side first with captcha and now owned by IGN, time to stop promoting them and fix my urge by listing the storybundle bundles. They have 3 bundles at the moment and apparently they last 3 weeks. The books are provided in epub and mobi format and they conveniently provide (or at least did for the one I bought) a single zip file with all of them unlike certain other sites (yes I'm looking at you humble). You get a few books for $5 tier and a lot more at the $15 tier.

don't think I've ever gotten a book bundle. sometimes it's cool to see books in there though that I read that I always thought wee kind of obscure.
I used to get most of these, but they've gotten a little weaker and more repetitive. Still awesome value if you want a few of these titles. I've discovered some great authors and really fun stories through StoryBundle.

The Sci-Fi Series Bundle

Blurb:
StoryBundle has routinely done some of its best work when it dips into the realm of science fiction. When the site asked me to curate another sci-fi bundle, I was excited at the opportunity to dive back into a genre I love. This time around, I didn't pick a theme. My thinking was that I would find the best authors and pick their best books. This ran the risk of giving me a scattershot potpourri of stories. But wouldn't you know it? Themes began to emerge on their own. Great minds think alike. So, brace yourself for an exciting assortment of space operas, a gritty collection of dystopian futures, and a little dash of steampunk for flavor. – Joseph R. Lallo

The Webcomic Community Bundle

Blurb:

It took over a year, but I'm thrilled to announce that the Webcomic Community Bundle has finally launched. The titles featured in this Bundle are nothing short of dazzling, and if you're a fan of comics, or fantasy in general, these eight graphic novels are a must-have. You can choose, and I hope you do, to donate 10% of your purchase to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital in North Carolina, where your money will be put to work nursing sick turtles back to health. So curl up with your E-reader, and enjoy this fantastic, exciting, and endlessly imaginative collection of worlds and characters. – Simon Watts

https://storybundle.com/blacknarratives

Blurb:

This month is groundbreaking for many reasons, it represents a clarion call to support and uphold cultural heritage, but more than that Black History Month is a time to celebrate accomplishments of the past and the future. From the moment I was asked to curate the Black Narratives bundle, I knew this one was going to be special. I didn't want to just reach out to authors who were the pillars of the diverse speculative fiction community, but also the ingénues who were becoming stars in their own right.

The Sorcery and Steam Bundle

Blurb:

Sorcery. Steam. Ghosts. A touch of romance. Mythic creatures. Some truly violent bad guys. And one little black cat.
We have everything in this bundle that a fantasy reader could want.
Including magic.
We have magic in all forms, from the magic that gods use when they come to Earth to magic that a familiar inspires when she helps a man with limited ability keep his spells fresh. We have vampires and werewolves. We have parasols and tea and lovely chocolates. We have FBI agents facing killers and assassins who can kill with a blink.

The Young Adult Variety Bundle

Blurb:
Most of us don't want to read the same plot over and over. Sure, we have favorite books we'll read again, but sometimes novels of a particular genre can feel too similar.
So while I love young adult books, I like books that aren't formulaic.
While this is a mixed bag of plots and styles, all the books feature young people who have to grow up fast in order to face adversity, some of which is of the life-and-death variety. Survival comes in many forms, whether staying alive in a dystopian future or simply getting through high school. While the main characters are very different, they're all people to root for. From non-stop action to pure sentimentality, the books will take you through a range of emotions.
