So I decided that I'd start a new little thing on this blog to keep me posting occasionally.
I like to read a lot. And this is by no means going to be the main focus of my blog, I don't think so, anyway, but for now, it should just be a little feature every couple of weeks or so.

The other day, I was searching through the thousands of books that are available for free on the kindle.
It occurred to me that I was judging these books on their "freeness".

You see, there are generally two categories that I put these free books into, mentally.

First, classics. Most of the great, old classics can be downloaded for free on the kindle. Simple enough.
Second, free books.
Okay, this is terrible, because I know how Amazon's direct publishing works. When you publish a new book, they generally give you the option of making it free for a week in order to promote your book. Cool, right?
For some reason, though, I see free an think "garbage".

BUT. You should never judge a book by its cover and you should definitely never judge a book by its price. I mean, how stupid can I be?

So I downloaded several. Like, twenty of these free books determined to find the real gems in the mix.

I've decided that I'd write about them on my blog and then if they're still free, YOU can go get it, too!

The first book has been a success. I'm still not done with it yet, but I'll post about it when I am.

Laters!

  1. Gasp! Me too! Picked up Princess of Mars. It's an awesome classic book that's been on my list for a while and when I found out it was only about 80 pages I flipped.

    keep us posted on the awesomeness of the books you read!
