Next, let’s take a look at the free books -

  1. Random House’s Crown Publishing Imprint has a ‘Choose a Free Book’ offer. You can choose between Walking to Gatlinburg by Howard Frank Mosher, Secrets of Eden by Chris Bohjalian, and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It’s US only and it’s a physical book ;) .
  2. Note that the above is a monthly offer – there was one in December and perhaps there’ll be one in February.
  3. Buxr has a link to Platform.com to get a free copy of Clusters for Dummies (next few free books were also found at Buxr).

  5. 100 Free Things to do with your grandkids – also in PDF. 
  6. [unconfirmed] Debate this Book (Random House) is offering a free copy of one of the books they’ve featured to the first 10 commenters – It’s a blog for authors and educators and books with some interesting looking books.

Finally, we have $1 indie titles from the movers and shakers section of the Kindle Store -

  1. With This Ring, I Thee Dread by Ruth Ann Nordin. It’s a romantic comedy and rated 5 stars – very good reviews. The author has some other interesting looking titles in the Kindle Store (they’re in the ’Customers who bought this item also bought’ section below the book cover image).
  2. Declaring Spinsterhood by Jamie Lynn Braziel. Rated 4 stars on 12 customer reviews.  
  3. Dragon’s Awakening by Dawn Ibanez. A fantasy novel that’s rated 4.5 stars on 5 reviews. 

Overall not a bad collection of kindle deals and offers. We should see a few more over the next few days as January walks away and February walks in.

    dominant species is really really good. ok, i guess not “really really”, its got some issues and could have done with a better editor, but the characters are great and i think the author has the foundation of a strong military sci-fi franchise… something i hope he pursues, because id definitely like to read more books in the world and with the characters of “dominant species”… i recommend it highly to fans of the genre…

        The last place i moved into had a few john ringo books (and a bunch of other sci-fi books) left behind. definitely one of my favorite types of books.
