Thanks for stopping by, but it appears you are using a (very) old address for my blog. I've moved to a Wordpress site and you'll need to update your bookmarks for Books on the Knob

Read an eBook Week 2011 (Thursday Update)

Thursday updates for Read an eBook Week.
  • The free book at Dorrance is Cody Dillon's Mirage. If you had problems with it earlier today, try again, as Dorrance has fixed the earlier error at their yahoo store.
  • The free book at Rose Dog Books Pat Summers's Little Fly and Friends: Buggy Flea and Mr. Bumble (short/children's)
  • The free book at Red Lead Books is Sarah Stendig Wood's Secrets from a Four Leaf Clover (poetry)
  • The free book at ireadiwrite today is Paul Dayton's We've Seen The Enemy (which has good reviews at Amazon).
  • Imajinnbooks has added the two new books for today (Come the Night and Some Practical Magic). Be sure to click NEXT at the bottom of the page to find the 2nd book for today. If you are late finding this deal or forgot to download a previous day's books (the links you get in email are only good for one day), all previous books so far are still free.
  • In addition to the authors I mentioned on Tuesday's post, I've uncovered a few more authors at Smashwords with their backlist books at reasonable prices (versus the over $10 I've seen for some at Amazon, including Atlas Shrugged: (Centennial Edition), by Ayn Rand, for $18.99 and without a single word in the description to describe what might be special about this edition; apparently it's a special price to mark the author's 100th year, as the book itself was first published in 1957; my advice: buy the paperback at $10 and take advantage of the 4:3 promotion or just check it out from the library or grab it for $2 at your local used bookstore) include Julie Ortolon (50% off), Nina Bruhns ($2.99), Sharon Ihle (50% off), Jeffrey Carver (three free), L.L. Bartlett (25% off novels), Jill Metcalf (one 50% off), Terry Odell (several free), Mary Ellen Hughes (50% off), Libby Fischer Hellmann (50%-75% off; two free), Mark Chisnell (two free) and Marsha Canham (one free). There are some good books from indie authors that are free, as well, including two from Donna Callea, two from Lizzy Ford and several from Wesley Allison.
Looks like the issues at Yahoo have been fixed for Red Lead, Rose Dog and Dorrance. They are really super-nice and if you had problems getting any of their books earlier this week, just shoot them an email with your order number and they should be able to send you the PDF.
