Thursday Amazon Deals: Skyrim/Bethesda games, Kindle books, Toys, DVDs, more!
(Active deals from yesterday include pressure cookers, toys, video games, Harry Potter films, and more. Deals from Tuesday that are still active include lots of magazine subscriptions, CSI, MP3s, Professor Layton, kitchen stuff, and more. Monday deals that are still active include Kindle books, Stargate, Disney Blu-Ray deals, M*A*S*H, TV Westerns, Batman: Arkham City, and more,)
The Deal of the Day is 50% off Learning Resource Toys! Lots of classics here, from the dinosaurs to the doctor kits to the cash register.
The other DotD is the Cambridge Soundworks Oontz XL for $89.99 (40% off). If nothing else, it's the best-named speaker on the planet. Note that the portable Oontz is also on sale for $43.99 (45% off), and is a solid deal as well.
The Kindle Daily Deal is on cookbooks at $2.99 or less. I'm not familiar with any of the authors, but they do cover everything from paleo to bread to Thai to (ugh) coconut.
Other Kindle Deals: I haven't compiled my "best of 2013" list (and likely won't, given that half of what I read is for PW), but if I had one, Countdown City by Ben Winters would be on it, and it's only $3.99 on Kindle. Of course, it's the second in the series, but The Last Policeman is $2.79 on Kindle. They're mystery novels set in a barely-future in which the world's due to end thanks to an asteroid strike. Good, good stuff.
Other cheap Kindle books: Deck the Halls by Mary and Carol Higgins Clark is $1.99. Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation by Aisha Tyler is $2.99. Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris is $3.99. Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader is $1.99. Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli is $1.99. And Dragonwriter: A Tribute to Anne McCaffrey and Pern is $2.99 (and presumably talks about important topics, like tent pegs).
In video games, PC Gamers can download Skyrim for $7.49 (75% off), while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition is $20.39 (66% off). For older Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind Game of the Year Edition and Oblivion Game of the Year Edition are both $4.99 (75% off), while Oblivion Game of the Year Deluxe is $6.25 (75% off).
Other cheap PC Games: Doom 3 BFG Edition is $4.99 (75% off). Dishonored GOTY is $23.99 (40% off). And Outlast is $11.99 (40% off).

The Blu-Ray/DVD combo 45th Anniversary Edition of The Sound of Music is only $16.99 (51% off), which is only $3 more than you'd pay for the version without a talented lead actress on DVD.
MacGyver - The Complete Series is $51.49 (57% off) on DVD. And all you'll need to open the package is a paperclip, a piece of gum, and some string.

Finally, the Hewlett Packard DJ 3520 e-All-In-One Wireless Printer is $39.99 (60% off, $20 off other deals).
