Free Book (nook) - The Apothecary's Daughter

The Apothecary's Daughter ($9.99 Kindle, previously free in Feb), by Julie Klassen, is free in the Barnes & Noble store, courtesy of Bethany House Publishers. The format is most likely their own ereader format (although sometimes you do get an EPUB format), with DRM and not Kindle compatible.

Book Description
Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.

All Romance Earth Day Free Book - Last Call: Kamikaze

Last Call: Kamikaze ($3.49 list), by Moira Rogers, is free today at All Romance Ebooks as part of their Earth Day celebration this month.

Book Description
Zoe Bennett is an inexperienced werewolf in the grip of her mating cycle. With no pack and no mate, Zoe must brave the supernatural crowds of Last Call, the bar where your drink order tells everyone what you need.

Kamikaze: Werewolf in heat, looking for a temporary mate.

The chase is on, and security specialist Connor O’Malley intends to win, if only because the sweet young woman at the bar looks unprepared for what the night might bring, in and out of the bedroom. Little does he know that, when he catches her, he may not be satisfied being just a temporary mate.


To purchase: Click Add to Cart or Buy Now and you'll see an automatic discount for the full price of the book. Be sure to complete the entire check out process (which takes about three pages of clicking), all the way until you see a link for the download (I've missed a book or two in previous promotions at this site, as I thought I was done, but didn't get all they way thru to the end). Available in the following (usually drm-free) formats: Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket, Epub. If you want more than one format, you'll need to purchase the book more than once, but you get the discount each time.

There will be one of these a day, until April 21. I'll try to post the link each day, as I find out which one it is. If you find it first, feel free to leave note here in comments and I'll get a post up for everyone else.

Free Bible - Common English translation

The Common English Bible New Testament will be published this October (with some color variations in November), but the publishers are currently giving away a free copy to anyone that signs up at their website. This translation isn't without controversy (are any?), but it seems a bit wrong that the many versions of An Apology for the Common English Bible not only predate it's release, but are also priced vastly higher.

Click HERE to sign up for a free (paper) copy. While you are on the website, be sure to get a free PDF copy of the Gospel of Matthew Genesis.

Free Audiobook - Stuff Christians Like

Stuff Christians Like by Jonathan Acuff, narrated by Jonathan Acuff ($8.79 Kindle) is free to download at ChristianAudio.

Sometimes, we fall in love on mission trips even though we know we'll break up when we get back. Sometimes, you have to shot block a friend's prayer because she's asking God to bless an obviously bad dating relationship. Sometimes, you think, 'I wish I had a t-shirt that said "I direct deposit my tithe" so people wouldn't judge me.' Sometimes, the stuff that comes with faith is funny. This is that stuff. Jonathan Acuff's Stuff Christians Like is your field guide to all things Christian. You'll learn the culinary magic of the crock-pot. Think you've got a Metro worship leader - use Acuff's checklist. Want to avoid a prayer handholding faux pas? Acuff has you covered. Like a satirical grenade, Acuff brings us the humor and honesty that galvanized more than a million online readers from more than 200 countries in a new portable version. Welcome to the funny side of faith.

As a bonus, you can also get a free download of Author Sketches: Interview with Jonathan Acuff by Jonathan Acuff & Jason Coker this month.

Book Description
CEO Eric Courtland has it all, until his wife discovers his affair--can Eric propose a solution to satisfy them all?

Eric Courtland loves his wife. But another man also commands his affections. When both wife and lover discover his secret, he rocks them with a daring proposal neither can refuse.
