Has Amazon discontinued the Daily Deals? I noticed there were none yesterday or today.
Nope. I saw them today and yesterday. I believe I got the emails for them too. I look for them online rather than using the Amazon shopping app on my Fire. Could your settings have gotten changed?

I'm using a Kindle Paper White. I noticed the other day they moved Daily Deals before Monthly Deals. I did a search for "daily deals" and it says "go to storefront". When I do, Daily Deals are not listed under the "Featured" menu. Thanks, I just signed up for the emails. It was so easy getting them on the Paper White. I did check settings and nothing is changed.

I never remembered to look for them when I first got my fire, so I signed up for the emails. Sure makes it easier for me. Glad you signed up for them too.
John Stenbeck's Of Mice and Men, which I read as a requirement in some high school English class, but only remembered the barest elements of the tale. I am reading it now because my younger son is about to do so in a 9th-grade English class himself, and I thought I'd re-familiarize myself with the book so we could talk about it. Impressive for the narrative that is very simple yet entirely sufficient for the story it is telling.
Of Mice and Men was on my 9th grade son's reading list as well and I was so annoyed because I remembered reading it and hating it and couldn't understand why teachers would continue to torture kids with that novel.
He read it and he cried and then I realized what a classic is all about. Seventy-five years later a book can bring a 14 year old boy to tears.
I just have to comment on this statement. I never read reviews by critics. If I did, I'd miss out on stuff that I find enjoyable without expecting it to be a great literary work. I could care less what the critics have to say about things. So thankful that everyone is different and we all have our tastes. I hate to think how dull it would be if I only read what was intellectually challenging and great literary works of art.
If I worried about what lit critics thought, I'd probably not be reading a whole lot. I love the idea of coming to my own conclusion about something, without my hand being held. I've actually formed a lot of my own opinions about books this way.
I am through the first few chapters of "Waterborne" and though I recognize the author's talent in his craft the characters are just not speaking to me, personally. It's kind of like going to a convention where I am supposed to meet these people and learn from them but I cannot get interested in anything they have to say.
I will stick it out another couple of days and see if I am just in "one of those moods" or it's just not for me.
I DO think someone interested in engineering, hydraulics, or sailing might really be captivated by the protagonist.
Mostly talented author with distinct weakness in transitions from one character's perspective to another. (I hate having to re-read sections because I was thinking I was reading about one character only to later discover it's another character.)
He also tends to fill pages with information that does little for the character's identity or plot advancement.
Daughters of Zion: A Family's Conversion to Polygamy by Kim Taylor. Nonfiction and autobiographical.
It's okay but not something special.
