Humble have had a few good sf book bundles that haven't been available outside
the US recently, but this seems to be available world wide. I've got a few of
these in physical form but I'm still going to buy this one.

* Having bought this I got 33 epubs, for some reason at winter's end
and the queen of springtim are included individually and in an omnibus,
The other extra file is a novella called Nightwings, it's not listed in the books
but is mentioned in description, si it eems to be 32 items in all.

I picked up both this and Mercedes Lackey one. It's been a great year for humble book bundles.

With 12 ebooks you can't find anywhere else (15 items total) as well as some great fiction you might not have seen…and a workshop that will help you write your own escape, this StoryBundle has it all.

Lots of short stories, most of them quite small collections, also undermines the story bundle
exclusive status since the stories have probably been individually pubished elsewhere.

The 2026 Pride Bundle

Blurb:

It's Pride again, and time for another queer-themed bundle! At a time when the community is once again under threat, we felt it was more important than ever to showcase the work and the writers that celebrate us. We looked for books that show queerness in all its complexity, with stories that range from pure adventure to profoundly serious, and from across the range of identities that make up our whole. We looked for stories that showcased that many and complex forms that queerness takes — the many ways that we have chosen to be. We looked for stories that engage with threats to the queer world, and for stories that imagine what we might be without threats, for stories that celebrate our joy and our resilience.

Tachyon have done a fair few bundles before so there are a few duplicates with bundles I've bought. 7 of these were in the 2021 supermassive tachyon bundle and a different 4 in the 2017 super nebula author showcase bundle. I've also got 3 more in other bundles so it's a no for me, but if you don't have any it's a pretty good bundle.

In Not Available In Your Region news, humble have a I'm not going to say new John Scalzi bundle.

The weirdness about this is not being available in my region when it is almost identical to a Joe Scalzi humble bundle I bought in november 2023.

The 2026 Fantasy Bundle of Bundles

Blurb:

The Bundle of the Summer! Fifteen bundles by fifteen authors, all inside this even bigger bundle—and best of all, these bundles are exclusive. Some will never be available anywhere else again. You'll find every kind of fantasy here, from goofy fantasy to dark fantasy to made-up world fantasy (whatever you want to call that) to romantic fantasy…and the mother of all subgenres, romantasy itself. Award-winning, bestselling authors fill this bundle and even more lurk inside the handful of anthologies that have found their way here. So…pick up the best deal you'll find this summer. Get the Fantasy Bundle of Bundles!

My rough count finds 47 individual books inside this bundle. Forty-seven books from fifteen different contributors. The reason my count is rough is that many writers, myself included, put together every single story in a series, whether that story was long or short. So if there are a bunch of short stories in a bundle and a novel or a novella, I count that product as two books.

The Greg Bear Birthday Humble Bundle

Blurb:

The world of science fiction lost a titan when novelist Greg Bear passed away in 2022, but his books remain a perfect example of exactly what sci-fi was always meant to be.

His work, which tested the limits of human (and non-human) consciousness and looked toward the far future and beyond, inspires and excites readers to this day. To celebrate what would have been Greg Bear’s 75th Birthday, in partnership with Open Road Media, we’ve collected a bundle of his best novels including award-winning classics like first contact thriller Eon, alien invasion drama The Forge of God, and post-apocalyptic space odyssey Anvil of Stars!

Marie Bilodeau brings us an entire trilogy of high fantasy in Heirs of the Broken Land, featuring three woman who may have to sacrifice everything—magic, family bonds, and possibly each other—to save their land.

I think I might be a reading snob, because all I can think of when
I hear Timothy Zahn is Star Wars novels

* I really should edited my preferences but I'm pretty sure thats how I got into
trouble in the first place. I was missing the interesting books bundle so I edited
the thing I was interested in. The trouble is every email they send has about a
heapof bundles in it so obviously contains something from the tick box! Jerks!

Having bought a couple of humble book bundles this $30 price here is hurting
compared to $18 for humble, but this is probably one of the better ones with
omnibuses bring the number of books up to 25. Still there's also a fair few
book 1's and you never know wether a book 1 will be good on it's own or
just the precredits sequence.
