TODAY'S DEALS     Nine and a Half Weeks by Elizabeth McNeill The powerfully erotic memoir that inspired the legendary film—with a new afterword by the author's daughter. Nine and a Half Weeks is a true story so unusual, so passionate, and so extreme in its psychology and sexuality that it will take your breath away. Elizabeth McNeill was an executive for a large corporation when she began an affair with a man she met in a chance encounter. Their sexual excitement depended on domination and humiliation, and as their relationship progressed they played out increasingly dangerous and elaborate variations on that pattern. By the end, Elizabeth had relinquished all control over her body—and her mind. $1.99 Originally: $9.99   PURCHASE FROM HC.COM AMAZON B&N IBOOKS GOOGLE KOBO INDIEBOUND

Cooking for Friends by Gordon Ramsay Away from the high-octane energy of the professional kitchen, Gordon Ramsay makes meals at home that are more relaxed, where cooking is fun and everyone gets involved in preparing food for family and friends. The way Gordon cooks here embodies his strongly held views: use in-season, fresh ingredients at their peak; support local producers and farmers' markets whenever possible; and celebrate the food culture and its many influences. Cooking for Friends contains more than one hundred of Gordon's favorite recipes that he loves to cook and eat with friends and family—uncomplicated recipes but all with Gordon's remarkable feeling for flavor and his extraordinary technical know-how. $1.99 Originally: $13.99   PURCHASE FROM HC.COM AMAZON B&N IBOOKS GOOGLE KOBO INDIEBOUND

Up and In by Deborah Disney A wonderfully wry tale about the pressure women put on themselves and one another to fit in, measure up, and look glamorous while doing it. Distinctly middle-class parents Maria and Joe have committed every bit of available income to giving their daughters Kate and Sarah the best education possible, which to them means attending the most exclusive girls school in the state. But when Kate befriends the spoiled and moody Mirabella, Maria finds herself thrust into a high society of champagne-swilling mother-istas she hasn't budgeted for. Saturday morning netball is no longer a fun mother-daughter outing, but a minefield of social politics. $0.99 Originally: $2.99   AMAZON B&N IBOOKS GOOGLE KOBO INDIEBOUND
