Well, rather, having read the first 5 or 6. At some point, I'd had enough. But the first few sucked me in completely.

I couldn't remember where book 2 started! I know I bought a paperback of #3 (i think) cuz the cover was nifty and Scottish. I was totally snowed, and weirded out. I stopped reading halfway through, which I *never* did at that time. Only years later did I hear about the Outlander series, and read it on my Palm Pilot. Book 3 seemed strangely familiar, until I remembered the above facts!

Sync Audio -- Weekly Offers -- FAQs & Help -- exp 20 Jul @ 7 AM ET

During Week 12 of AudiobookSYNC’s season, our pair of free audiobooks includes a nonfiction exploration of flavor and a teen novel in which food also plays a significant role.

FREE -- Sugar -- Deirdre Hall/ Tara Sands --> 9.0 hrs hrs --> romance

Sugar Legowski-Gracia wasn’t always fat, but fat is what she is now at age seventeen. Not as fat as her mama, who is so big she hasn’t gotten out of bed in months. Not as heavy as her brother, Skunk, who has more meanness in him than fat, which is saying something. But she’s large enough to be the object of ridicule wherever she is: at the grocery store, walking down the street, at school. Sugar’s life is dictated by taking care of Mama in their run-down home—cooking, shopping, and, well, eating. A lot of eating, which Sugar hates as much as she loves. When Sugar meets Even (not Evan—his nearly illiterate father misspelled his name on the birth certificate), she has the new experience of someone seeing her and not her body. As their unlikely friendship builds, Sugar allows herself to think about the future for the first time, a future not weighed down by her body or her mother. Soon Sugar will have to decide whether to become the girl that Even helps her see within herself or to sink into the darkness of the skin-deep role her family and her life have created for her.

FREE -- The Dorito Effect -- Mark Schatzker/ Chris Patton --> 8.3 hrs --> nutrition

Mark Schatzker shows us how our approach to the nation’s number one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead, we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor - the tastes we crave - and the underlying nutrition. Since the late 1940s, we have been slowly leeching flavor out of the food we grow. Simultaneously, we have taken great leaps forward in technology, allowing us to produce in the lab the very flavors that are being lost on the farm. Thanks to this largely invisible epidemic, seemingly healthy food is becoming more like junk food: highly craveable but nutritionally empty. We have unknowingly interfered with an ancient chemical language -flavor - that evolved to guide our nutrition, not destroy it.

Well, I finally have real internet again and I've already located a freebie. Over at Tanga you can get "Serve No Master: How To Escape the 9-5" by Jonathan Green. Obviously this one falls into the self-help category. If you'd like to like to check it out look here.

Best-selling author and lifestyle design expert Jonathan Green is finally ready to share the blueprint he used to escape the prison of poverty, debt, and office politics that still hold so many people imprisoned. He’s not content with just sharing a few ideas – instead this traveling renegade is taking aim at every roadblock that keeps people from achieving their goals.

From “not enough money” to “lack of connections” to “not enough time” to “I just can’t seem to do it,” Jon’s taking laser aim at all the excuses, and breaking things down into small, simple steps that anyone can take to become wealthier, better connected, more talented, and more free.

It doesn’t matter if you’re already working at home, squeezing in a little extra time after your job, or you don’t even have a plan yet. Serve No Master isn’t just a book – it’s a system designed to smash the chains and give you a better financial outlook and more free time to do what you love.

Enjoy!

• Amazon’s Free HQ Tour

On this Amazon Headquarters Tour, you will learn how Amazon's unique urban campus is deeply connected to the surrounding community. In addition, you will explore Amazon's history, learn about Amazon's customer obsession, and find out why at Amazon, every day truly is Day 1.
