Free Books

My Kindle currently has about 75 free books on it that I have yet to read.

Who knows when I got some of them; probably months ago. I don't know why I read some of the free books I get but then just leave the rest sitting there unread.

But yesterday, I decided that's not going to happen anymore.

I am going to read at least a few pages into each book. By the time I reach page three or four, I can usually tell if there's going to be a lot of gore and/or profanity in the rest of the book. If there is, I slap the book into my "Unfinished" collection.

If there's not, I read on and try to see if the plotline is something I'm interested in and if the author's voice is one I want to hear in my head for however many hours it'll take to read the entire book.

This generally takes me at least two, usually three, chapters into the book. If by chapter five I'm still reading, it's a pretty safe bet I'm going to follow the book through to the end.

I've read quite a few awesome books this way. One of my favorites that I can remember getting for free is "Talon's Test and the Shield of Faith." This book is the first in a trilogy, so fortunately I'll get to read more. Unfortunately, the other books have not come out yet.

I feel like I maybe mentioned "The Journey" by Laura Long in this blog before. That was another free book that was totally amazing, also the first in a trilogy. Fortunately, the other books have come out. Unfortunately, I bought and read the second book and didn't like it enough to buy the third.

Anyways. That list of several dozen unread free books on my Kindle should be dwindling eventually, unless I get more free books faster than I can read the ones I have. Wish me luck!
