The price is right?

Kindle Freebie Reviews

I received my Kindle last year as a Christmas present and like everyone else who gets one, I wanted to fill it up with good books right away.  I started with some classic stuff that is public domain and is free to everyone and then I bought a few books that were in mystery series that I was already interested in.  And then...I discovered the world of Kindle freebies. A lot of authors will put their books out there for free for a few days to develop an audience.  What??  Free books?? How could a bibliophile like me resist?  I started "buying" just about every free book I could find (as long as it wasn't porn or erotica.  Absolutely no interest in those!)  Then I started realizing how many books that was!  There are thousands of free books on Amazon at any time.    The problem is, of course, that the quality of these freebies varies from really wonderful to complete trash.  So now I've decided it's time to start going through the literally thousands of freebies I've acquired and separating the garbage from the gems.

There are a million websites and email lists that want to tell you what's free today.  I'm not interested in duplicating that.  I'm going to actually read those freebies and let you know what I think of them.  Most will not still be free by the time I review them but some might be and some might be already in your Amazon account but you just haven't gotten around to reading them yet.  The authors put them out there to get feedback and stir up attention for their work so I'm going to work my way through my Kindle and give each author a hearing and a review. Should be fun!
