FREE (and bargain) books for the Kindle - November 2010
It's a new month and there are new freebies. Several from last month are still free, so be sure to check the previous thread, HERE.
This is the sticky thread for free and bargain books in the Kindle store for November 2010. Rather than try to update the first post with a list of all the books, which is continually changing, instead new books will be posted at the end of the thread and each month there will be a new thread, letting the old one drop off the top of the forum. Anyone can post to the thread, but there are a few rules:

The Matchmakers, by Jennifer Colgan, is another freebie from Samhain, complete with content warning.
Book Description Two wrongs don't make a right, but they just might make a perfect match... Nick Garret is flypaper for females, and he likes it that way. Women stick for a while, and when it's over they fly away. So does he. Then one rain-slick night a young woman steps in front of his pickup truck, and his jaded, cynical life takes a sharp swerve toward trouble. Calliope did the only thing she could think to get Nick to steer his truck-and his life-in a new direction. Banished from the Fae realm for granting a wish gone bad, her punishment is an impossible task; redeem the unredeemable Nick Garret. If she fails to help him pair three couples in everlasting bliss, he's doomed to never experience real love. And she will share his fate-as a mortal. Nick can't decide if this charming, exasperating woman is a dream come true, or a saucy, sexy nightmare sent to drive him insane. Yet something about her makes him want to rise to her challenge. He'll do anything to make her stick around a while. Besides, how much trouble can one half-naked, seemingly wingless faerie be? Warning: This title contains sensual love scenes, mischievous Fae, removable wings and hot men in tool belts. Last edited by koland; 11-01-2010 at 04:20 AM. |

Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching, by John MacArthur, et al.
Book Description Is Biblical Preaching Doomed to Extinction? In the Old Testament, God decried the fact that His people were perishing for lack of knowledge about Him. The same seems to be occurring today. There is sharing, suggesting, plenty of storytelling, and lots of preaching to felt needs in modern pulpits. But the authoritative, expositional opening of the Word of God is becoming scarcer all the time. Jesus told Peter, Feed my sheep (John 21:17). Such is the mission for all Christ's shepherds. But when preaching is neglected, those who have been called to feed the sheep do little more than pet them. In this book, eleven pastors and scholars issue a fervent plea for preachers to preach the Word. Here is encouragement for pastors to persevere in their calling and wisdom to guide congregations in holding their shepherds to the biblical standards. |

Blood Lines ($6.72 US), by Grace Monroe, is free for UK (England) customers in the Kindle store, in both the US and UK store.
Book Description A woman is lured to a lonely ruin in the Scottish Highlands and strangled almost to the point of death. As she prays for mercy, her hopes are shattered when her unseen assailant begins to carve her face, and she is left alone to bleed her life's blood into a shallow grave. In Edinburgh, 29–year–old lawyer Brodie McLennan is coming to terms with the discovery of the family she never knew she had. She must also fight the increasing resentment of the Edinburgh Bar. As the complaints to the Law Society about Brodie pile up, her grandfather and legal legend Lord MacGregor fears that Brodie is in danger and advises that to protect her reputation, she should become a crown prosecutor-accept 'silk'–something that rankles with Brodie's natural inclination to protect the underdog. When Lord McGregor's prophecy is fulfilled and Brodie is implicated in the disappearance of a fellow lawyer, she realizes he is right–she is now a marked woman. Then the missing woman is found in a remote mental hospital, the walls of her cell smeared in blood, the name 'Brodie' written over and over…Back in Edinburgh, a knife is found with Brodie's fingerprints. It seems that someone is out to stop Brodie's rise to the top–at any cost… In Praise of Savagery, by Warwick Cairns, is free for UK (England) customers in the Kindle store, in both the US and UK store. Book Description One man’s journey in the footsteps of a great explorer into the heart of Africa. As a young man, Warwick Cairns met the then elderly explorer Wilfred Thesiger and the two men struck up an unlikely friendship. Invited to visit him at his African home, Cairns decides to make a bit of an adventure of it and do some of the journey on foot. When he himself was a young man, Thesiger led an expedition to explore the course of the Awash river in Ethiopia. Every westerner that had gone before him had been killed by local tribesmen. Needless to say, he survived. Alternating chapters chart Warwick’s journey with that of Thesiger creating a captivating dual narrative that is part travel book, part biography, part autobiography, part history with fair doses of philosophy and humour thrown in for good measure. In Praise of Savagery is a highly original book that defies classification but is always effortlessly readable. |

One Hit Wonder, by Charlie Carillo, is the second freebie from this author (Raising Jake was free last August).
Book Description From the acclaimed author of Raising Jake comes the hilarious, heartfelt story of a former pop star who goes back to his roots—to answer the age-old question,“Whatever happened to…?” Back in the Eighties, Mickey DeFalco was America’s teenage heartthrob with spiky gelled hair, slanted sideburns, and a number-one hit single—“Sweet Days”—a sappy love song he wrote after his high school sweetheart, Lynn Mahoney, broke his heart. Now approaching middle age, Mickey is lucky to land a singing gig at a bar mitzvah. So the one-hit wonder-boy is making a different kind of comeback—returning to his old stomping grounds in Queens, living with his parents, and sleeping in his childhood bed. Just like in high school. And speaking of blasts from the past, Lynn is also back in town—as beautiful, beguiling, and baffling as ever… Sometimes life can feel like a broken record. But even a one-hit wonder deserves a second chance. |

The Rules of Work, Expanded Edition: A Definitive Code for Personal Success, by Richard Templar
Book Description Some people are simply great at their job. They always seem to say the right thing; do the right thing. They are mentioned in every conversation. Everybody likes them. They get promoted. They get pay rises. They get along with the boss. And somehow, they do all these things without being unpleasant, breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort. And when they are offered another step up the corporate ladder or a fabulous new job, no one is surprised. After all, they have 'potential' written all over them. How do they do it? Do they know some secret we don't? Yes, they know The Rules of Work. These rules aren't about how to do your job, day-to-day (assuming you are pretty good at that already). The Rules of Work are about how you are seen to be doing it. They are about how you appear to others. And they are about helping you to achieve the success you richly deserve. The first edition of The Rules of Work became a global phenomenon, topping bestseller charts around the world. This new, even better, edition includes 10 brand new rules to take you further, faster. These rules are the guiding principles that will improve both what you do and how you do it, giving you the unmistakable air of confidence that will win you admiration, respect, and the next promotion. With The Rules under your belt you'll have the edge in everything you do, without having to compromise your principles. Guard Your Mission, Stay in Control, by Seth Goldman, is a business short from FT Press. Book Description Seth Goldman, cofounder and TeaEO of Honest Tea, the fast-growing pioneer of organic brews favored by discerning tea lovers including President Barack Obama, shared the advice that has shaped his company and career: Never lose control of your company's money, whether you're spending it or raising it. And run your business as if you are going to own it forever. I got lots of bad advice as I was building Honest Tea. Luckily, I was smart enough not to take most of it. Among the worst nonstarters: * Add more sugar (which would have undone one key factor that made us stand out). * Rebrand Honest Tea as a low-carb company. (Those low-carb diets, with people eating bacon three times a day, have little appeal for our health-conscious clients.) * Sell energy drinks. (There was almost zero overlap of energy-drink buyers with our core customers.) Any of those ideas would probably have wrecked the company. But fortunately, we benefited from two wonderfully wise advisers-Gary Hirshberg, cofounder of Stonyfield, and Jeff Swartz, CEO of Timberland. Their counsel shaped my company, my career, and my life. They preached two core rules: Never lose control of your company's money, both incoming and outgoing, and run the business as if you plan to own it forever.... Market Upside Down: How to Invest Profitably in a Shrinking Economy, by Vinh Q. Tran Book Description he U.S. economic crisis of 2008 isn't over! The next bubble, explosive government debt, is brewing. At the same time, the economy can't generate growth, the treasury is exhausted, the Fed's balance sheet is over-stressed, consumers remain deep in debt, and short-term interest rates are at near-zero. Intelligent investors can't just mourn the death of easy profits: they want and need new strategies for success through history's potentially worst equity market. In Market Upside Down, Dr. Vinh Q. Tran presents those strategies. Tran begins by explaining why the U.S. financial crisis will only get worse. He then provides professional and active investors a comprehensive framework for profiting in an upside down market that could last for decades. Drawing on his market expertise, as well as experience as money manager to institutional and wealthy investors, Tran shows how to build wealth and generate return in times of crisis with a focus on what will matter most in the coming years: liquidity and risk management. Tran helps investors explore global investments and opportunities that won't depend on the troubled U.S. economy or a reinvigorated market soaring, and shows how to profit from the coming age of scarcity. Along the way, he demonstrates how to use fixed income, hedge funds, and non-traditional investments, with minimal equity risks to create a portfolio that is positioned to provide liquidity, profits and importantly to weather future crises. Powering the Future: A Scientist's Guide to Energy Independence, by Daniel B. Botkin Book Description The future of civilization depends upon the continuous availability of sufficient energy. But we’re approaching the practical limits of some of the energy sources we depend upon most. What should be done? Few issues are as controversial. In Powering the Future, a leading scientist cuts through the controversy, presenting the facts about our energy needs, desires, and supplies and the environmental and human effects of obtaining and using energy. Dr. Daniel B. Botkin objectively assesses the true prospects, limitations, costs, risks, dangers, and tradeoffs associated with every leading and emerging source of energy, including oil, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, solar, ocean power, and biofuels. Next, Botkin addresses the energy distribution system, outlining how it currently works, identifying its inefficiencies, and reviewing options for improving it. Finally, Botkin turns to solutions, offering a realistic, scientifically and economically viable path to a sustainable, energy-independent future: one that can improve the quality of life for Americans and for people around the world. |

It is free in the US store, but, as stated - only for UK customers. If you don't have a UK address, you'll see a US price (or a "not available" message). It's what those outside the US see on most of the free books posted to this thread, as a great number end up being US only.
