I noticed there are fewer books in the free library. Lucky I grabbed them all before they were taken off!
So I gather that Baen is making their books available on other stores? Hopefully they will be available on the Kobo store, then I can just buy them there with Chapters gift cards instead of having to send a money order to Baen. |

I have read 2 of the free books (first 2 in the Honor Harrington series) and I have purchased 1 from them. All safely reside in Calibre on my computer.

If you like the Harrington books, try WITH THE LIGHTNINGS and LT. LEARY COMMANDING. The Harrington books started out as a space opera version of Horatio Hornblower, and the RCN series are a space opera version of the Aubrey/Maturin series. Both are a lot of fun. |

Can anyone offer further suggestions on what they enjoyed and we should grab from the Baen Free Library while we can?

I love the Honor Harrington series. You can get the first 2 free at Baen.

The David Weber books would be my recommendation as well.

I love the classics! Get the Keith Laumer, James H. Schmitz, Christopher Anvil, etc.
But (and I have no inside info here) as older titles these may be safe for the future. Still, it doesn't take much time to download them to a little flash drive. Just to be safe. |
