The Binder of Shame presents: The RPG.net rants is dazzling... if you were an RPG gamer in the 80's. I can't speak for its appeal to other people (although my older daughter thinks it's hilarious, and she wasn't gaming back then).

The formatting's glitchy and inconsistent. There are typos. It's missing a lot of commas. If you know and loved gaming from the 80's (or gamers from the 80's), you'll be too busy laughing hysterically to care. More detailed review.

Sing My Name by Ellen O'Connell is a historical romance that blew me away; the author went on my "just buy EVERYTHING she puts out" list (and her other books haven't changed that decision a bit). The characters are richly developed, including plenty of people aside from the main couple; the heroine is strong-willed and awesome, and doesn't put up with anybody's attempts to keep her apart from her love--including his.

Serial, by Blake Crouch & Jack Kilborn, is a short-story thriller (that was later expanded into a novel, which I haven't read, because this was quite creepy enough for me) with a delightful punch. The premise:
Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1-Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2-Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be raving nutcase. So what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2...

Two of those are free; the romance is not but has a substantial free sample.
