I got it but haven't read it yet. Glad to hear it was good from both you and ProfCrash.

As far as erotica, I have gotten two freebies that were listed on MR.

I must say, Sagara did a brilliant job with Chronicles of the Elantra. This is certainly a deal I would say to jump at. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

[ProfCrash]

I would say read the reviews carefully so you have a good idea as to what you are buying. There is nothing I found offensive but I have a feeling that these books are not for everyone.

Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips (Crazy Sexy) by Kris Carr and Sheryl Crow

Product Description

An advice-from-the-trenches cancer survival guidebook for young women with cancer.

Actress and photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a Jivamukti yoga class didn't provide its usual kick-ass cure. A visit to her doctor confirmed her "liver looked like Swiss cheese," covered with cancerous tumors. She entered trench warfare (wearing cowboy boots into the MRI machine, no less), vowing, "Cancer needed a makeover and I was just the gal to do it!" She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative "quacks," blind dates, and other women with cancer--sadly a growing group. These include hip, young women such as illustrator-author Marisa Acocella Marchetto (Cancer Vixen), Glamour writer-editor Erin Zammett (My So-Called Normal Life), MTV personality Diem Brown (Real World/Road Rules Challenge), model Sharon Blynn (founder, Bald Is Beautiful), and music manager Jackie Farry, among others.

The Learning Channel is broadcasting the premiere of Carr's unforgettable documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer on August 29, 2007 @ 9:00-11:00pm (ET/PT).

CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS gathers the lessons learned and advice offered from Carr's own journey, as well as the experiences of her cancer posse. Full-color photos accompany personal stories and candid revelations in this scrapbook of advice, warnings, and resources for the cancer patient. Chapters cover your changing social life, dating, sex, and appearance; essential health tips on how to boost your immune system; recipes; medical and holistic resources; and information on young survivor support groups. The resulting book is a warm, yet informative tool for any woman newly diagnosed with the disease and for those who love them.

Please keep the off-topic posts out of this thread (they'll probably be deleted); those can go out in the main forum (up to the tolerance level of the moderators), but this thread is only for posting bargain and free books in the Kindle store.

The Spanish edition of ?Como salgo de mis deudas?, by Andres Panasiuk, is free in the UK Kindle store. My Spanish is a bit rusty, so I won't mind not getting this one, but it appears to be a nice, if short, guide to personal finance from Thomas Nelson Publishing. I've copied in the English and Spanish description; there doesn't appear to be an English edition available.

Book Description
How to get out of debt seems to be a question on everyones mind. In his book ¿Cómo salgo de mis deudas? (How Do I Get Out of Debt) author Andrés Panasiuk examines the reason why so many are in debt and then gives practical advise on how to get out of debt and stay that way.

Cómo salir de deudas parecer ser algo que está en la mente de todos. En este libro, ¿Cómo salgo de mis deudas? el escritor Andrés Panasiuk examina las causas de que tantos estén endeudados, y ofrece consejos prácticos sobre cómo salir de deudas y no volver a caer en lo mismo.

Bargain:

Gordon Ryan's historical family saga Spirit of Union Trilogy (Three books in One) is just $2.99 for the Kindle.

Product Description
Gordon Ryan has been a traditionally published author since 1994. In 2010, Pegasus Publishing republished each of his former novels and released his new thrillers, State of Rebellion and Uncivil Liberties.

Vol. I - Destiny: Fleeing an abusive father and a hopeless life in Ireland in 1895, nineteen-year-old Tom Callahan takes passage on a ship bound for America. On board, he meets Katrina Hansen, a young Norwegian woman traveling to Utah. It's not a likely match. The brash Irishman is a Catholic, a brawler and a young man without prospects. Destiny is a sprawling historical novel set at the turn of the 19th century, played out in such far-flung places as New York City, the gold fields of Alaska and Old Mexico.

Vol. II - Conflict: It's 1917 and American has entered World War I. The Callahan's son has joined with what President Woodrow Wilson is calling "the fight to make the world safe for democracy." Set against turbulent events in world history and filled with vivid scenes as well as tender emotions, Conflict takes the reader around the world.

Vol. III - Heritage: Tom and Katrina Callahan's three children have grown up and are making their way in a world that is propelling itself toward World War II. Tess has her heart set on a Hollywood movie career; PJ is a successful sheep rancher in New Zealand and Tommy is pursuing his career in the Marine Corps and learning not only about war, but about the perils of romance. In this, the final volume of Spirit of Union, Gordon Ryan follows Tom and Katrina into their middle and late years. Living in a time when aviation is becoming a viable industry, the stock market is booming and Hitler's evil machinations are on the horizon, the world, and the Callahans, are embroiled on every front. Set in Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, South America, Great Britain and the United States, Heritage is filled with scenes and characters that will linger in your mind long after you close the book.
