May 9, 2014
Our list this week features two games, a highly anticipated new book, an Oscar-winning film, and something for mom.
Kiwanuka, $1.99, Universal game
This incredibly addictive and unique game is the must-have title of the weekend. Get it now -- you'll be happy that you did.
Joy of Cooking, $2.99, iPad app

"To Rise Again at a Decent Hour," $12.99, E-Book
The latest book from Joshua Ferris ("Then We Came to the End") arrives just in time for the summer reading season. Like his previous book, "To Rise Again at a Decent Hour" stars Paul O'Rourke, a dentist made of contradictions.
As noted on the book's iTunes page, O'Rourke "loves the world, but doesn't know how to live in it. He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God."
The book is available on the iBookstore on Tuesday, May 13.
"Her (2013)," $5.99, Movie rental
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Spike Jonze, "Her" shows us what happens when Siri looks like Scarlett Johansson. The film is the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The rental is available beginning Tuesday, May 13.
