Argh. It looks like they've done something to the website so that if it's your first visit on a particular browser, it redirects you to the front page instead.

Idiots. It's like they're trying to drive people away.

Anyways, no need to fill out any email info. Just click on the "Free Library" link on the blue navigation section across the centre-top of their content on the homepage, just below the giant "Suduvu" animation and the ad banner and right above the Search box, and then scroll past the box on the actual "Suduvu Free Book Library" page which asks you for your email to "New Titles This Month", and merrily download away.

"His Majesty's Dragon" is no longer free in the affiliated Kindle/Sony/Nook stores, but you can still download the PDF version (if you can't, please PM me).

The Elizabeth Moon Paksenarrion tie-in stories are under "More Suduvu Free Books". They're PDF only, and the descriptions next to them are spoilery for the Deed of Paksenarrion, so don't read them when you right-click/save if you haven't finished the original trilogy.

They've also some Star Wars novellas and a short story from the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction if anyone's interested.

Hope this helps.
Thanks, I did download the pdf. Possibly what happened to me was due to a Firefox plugin I use to disable scripts. After I enabled them completely (and not only the ones on suvudu.com), the sign-in page doesn't seem to appear.

I started to skip this month as fantasy isn't my thing, either; but I started The Sheepfarmer's Daughter yesterday and so far I'm really enjoying it.

So you are saying you stopped skipping it?

A good read is a good read no matter the genre.

Go Elizabeth Moon!
I've got my e-books loaded, including Deed of Paksenarrion so I'm going to be starting that. Excited, I've read a bunch of Moon's books but this one I hadn't made the time for yet so I'm looking forward to that.

Uh, yeah, I suppose so. Getting to the part now where elves, dwarfs, and gnomes are being introduced into the story.

Stick with it... Not much of any of the three in the first book.

Finish this morning, approx 01:10 PDT.
Well, that was, without a doughnut, a very strange book. All I'll say at this point is
Spoiler:
“Percy Jackson after three several shots of tequila.”

Wait a minute, it was “American Gods" in the lead when I checked. Nuts. Good read though, I've already recommended it to one of my friends that likes "strange."

Okay, so now you have to tell us which book you are talking about.

It's a great book - I'll have to re-read it soon.

I even bought American Gods only because I thought it would win!

If there's enough people interested in reading and discussing "American Gods", I wouldn't mind starting a discussion thread in, say, 2 or 3 weeks?

I'm up for it. As strange as American Gods is, I'm sure we can have a lively discussion.
