The Shop on Blossom Street ($5.76 Kindle), by Debbie Macomber, is free in the Sony ebookstore (and more, see below) this morning. The first in the Blossom Street series, this looks like a promotion in conjunction with the release today of the seventh volume, Hannah's List ($9.99 Kindle), so I would not be surprised if this one ended up free in the Kindle store. In the meantime, I picked up the Sony version, which I can always read on my PC.Book Description
There's a little yarn store in Seattle.
It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love...
Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.
These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries--about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more...
As always with Sony titles, you'll need to open the Reader Library software and search for it in the bookstore.
Update: This book is also free at Barnes & Noble and at All Romance Ebooks, where it is is in many formats: Adobe Acrobat, Palm DOC/iSolo, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket, Epub. Which means it'll work on your Kindle and pretty much any other reader out there, with a bit of work. The EPUB and LIT (MS Reader) versions are both DRM free (the mobipocket version claims to have DRM, so I haven't opened it), so are easily converted using Calibre to any other format desired.
