I suspect the UK flood will dissipate when someone at Wiley gets fired, after someone notices the over 100 free books there (currently at 131 and counting from this author alone). I got tired of trying to add the individual titles, so here are a few links to the lists by publisher, instead (sorry that the links are to the US site, but the search tools aren't quit working at the UK Kindle store to restrict the list in the same ways).
It looks like the list of free books has finally stabilized (I think). There are now the following new free books for UK readers only (the search links are to the US store, as the UK store doesn't allow the same search parameters for Kindle books, yet): * 127 Free Books from Wiley * 16 Free Books For Dummies * 5 Free Books from Jossey-Bass * Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny, by Suze Orman (UK Link) * Blood, Sweat and Tea, by Tom Reynolds (UK Link) |

That's a lot of free books for the UK. There are only around 50 free non-PD titles on the US site at the moment.

A few new freebies to my eyes for US Kindle readers:
Gone to Green by Judy Christie In Gone to Green, Lois goes from being a corporate journalist at a large paper in the Midwest to the owner of The Green News-Item, a small twice-weekly newspaper in rural North Louisiana. The paper was an unexpected inheritance from a close colleague, and Lois must keep it for at least a year, bringing a host of challenges, lessons, and blessings into her life. http://www.amazon.com/Gone-to-Green-...=discounter-20 A Little Death In Dixie by Lisa Turner The Blues were born out of need, anger and pride. Murder comes from those same dark places. Memphis has both. One of Memphis' most seductive and notorious socialites has vanished. Either she's off on another drunken escapade or the disappearance is something much more frightening. What begins as an ordinary day's work for Detective Billy Able quickly grows into a complex spider's web of tragedy, mystery, suspicion, and sordid secrets including a few of Billy's own. With the help of Mercy Snow, the estranged sister of the missing socialite, Billy follows a twisted trail of human frailty and corruption to disturbing truths that undermine everything he thought he knew about himself and the people he loves. http://www.amazon.com/Little-Death-D...=discounter-20 Trading from Your Gut: How to Use Right Brain Instinct & Left Brain Smarts to Become a Master Trader by Curtis Faith Legendary traders like Jesse Livermore, George Soros, Richard Dennis, and Steven Cohen use their full range of powers that encompass both instinct and analysis. That’s how they made their fortunes–and that’s how you can, too. In Trading from Your Gut, Curtis Faith, renowned trader and author of the global bestseller Way of the Turtle, reveals why human intuition is an amazingly powerful trading tool, capable of processing thousands of inputs almost instantaneously. Faith teaches you how to harness, sharpen, train, and trust your instincts and to trade smarter with your whole mind. http://www.amazon.com/Trading-Your-G...=discounter-20 From a Distance by Tamera Alexander What happens when the realization of a dream isn't what you imagined... and the secret you've spent a lifetime guarding is finally laid bare? Determined to become one of the country's premier newspaper photographers, Elizabeth Westbrook travels to the Colorado Territory to capture the grandeur of the mountains surrounding the remote town of Timber Ridge. She hopes, too, that the cool, dry air of Colorado, and its renowned hot springs, will cure the mysterious illness that threatens her career, and her life. Daniel Ranslett is a man shackled by his Confederate past, and he'll do anything to protect his land, and his solitude. When an outspoken Yankee photographer captures an image that appears key to solving a murder, putting herself in danger, Daniel is called upon to repay a debt. He's a man of his word, but repaying that debt could reveal secrets from his past he would prefer remain buried. http://www.amazon.com/Distance-Timbe...=discounter-20 |
