Week in Review: The "So Many Free E-Books!" Edition

T h e  S o  M a n y  F r e e  E - B o o k s  E d i t i o n !

I loooooooooooove free books, don't you?  There were so many free books up for grabs this week on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.  I have a nook, and I have a Kindle app (that I never use, so I hate when a title is ONLY on Amazon due to their restrictions on self-published authors...).

Most of these are still free, but some are not.  I hope you get some free books, too!

I also hope everyone had a great holiday!  If you went out shopping, you were brave! :)

 

READING NOW:

It's SUPPOSED to be nothing in November due to NaNoWriMo, but that doesn't include obligations for blog tours.  Plus, I've been developing a new twist and doing research in my writing time, so I have no time to write.  I think my NaNo will be in Jan or Feb now...
