Filling my Kindle: Jan 9, 2012
I had totally planned on doing a “THRIFTY THURSDAY” type post every week. Since I got my first Kindle for Christmas, I have been looking for good FREE books. The problem is – it’s turned into an every night scavenger hunt for me! The last 3 or 4 nights, I pop onto Amazon and see what new books I can find for FREE for my Kindle. I was just going to put all my finds in one big post on Thursdays. What’s happening is, a lot of the books I am finding for free are only free for a day or two. I’ve gotten a few emails mad at me over my Thrifty Thursday post, because the books aren’t free anymore. I’m so sorry, but I have no control over their pricing!
I figured for a while I’ll pop on before bed and post real quick some of my finds for the day.
I have also added a block over on the right hand side with “WHATS ON MY KINDLE” in it. So you can look through and see what books I have loaded. Please note – that being on my Kindle does not mean I have read it! So, if you get something because you saw it on my list, don’t get mad at me if it blows! This thing is all new to me, and am just reading my FIRST BOOK on it. I’m not sure if I even like my new Kindle yet or not, but I am enjoying the nightly wind-down of looking for ebooks! =D
So for today, Jan 9 2012, here’s a few of the books I found.
At the time of this posting they are all FREE on Amazon.
