Thanks to Bookish Mom and to AFS_NZ_IT for posting about Dark Fever, here's the KindleBoards link which includes the cover:  For our newer members, you can use the KindleBoards Amazon Linkmaker (there's a link to it at the top and bottom of each KindleBoards page) to create a text or image link to most items on Amazon. It includes a search feature to make it easy. Some items don't work, but most do. Betsy |

I picked up two new to me freebies today while going through the Kindle top seller list..   Both public domain, but could be of interest. |

Found this over on the Amazon board:  Product DescriptionMost Christians take an honest look at themselves and conclude that their limited talents, energy, and knowledge mean that they don-t amount to much. Francis A. Schaeffer says that the biblical emphasis is quite different. With God there are no little people! This book contains sixteen sermons that explore the weakness and significance of humanity in relationship to the infinite and personal God. Each was preached by Schaeffer at L-Abri Fellowship in Switzerland to the community that gathered there to work, learn, and worship together. The focus of this collection is the lasting truth of the Bible, the faithfulness of God, the sufficiency of the work of Christ, and the reality of God-s Spirit in history. The sermons represent a variety of styles-some are topical, some expound Old Testament passages, and still others delve into New Testament texts. No Little People includes theological sermons and messages that focus specifically on daily life and Christian practice. Each sermon is a single unit, and all are valuable for family devotions or other group study and worship. Readers will be encouraged by the value that God places on each person made in His image. |

Found this on Books on the Knob: Worst Enemies/Best Friends
Author: Annie Bryant Book DescriptionYikes! As if being the new girl isn't bad enough, Charlotte just made the biggest cafeteria blunder in the history of Abigail Adams Junior High. There's no way that Katani, Avery, and Maeve will want anything to do with her now. Can a mysterious landlady, a romantic evening gone wrong, and a cryptic key to nowhere help four very different girls become the best of friends? Or will they remain worst enemies forever? |

More freebies I found on Books on the Knob: My Soul to Lose
Author: Rachel Vincent Book Description
It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed and it's the worst day of her life.
Until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit.
She tries to convince everyone she's fine--despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream which comes burbling up again and again. Everyone thinks she's crazy. Everyone except Lydia, that is. Another patient with some special abilities....
An eBook exclusive prequel to Rachel Vincent's SOUL SCREAMERS series. And here's something really odd... Paranoia Updated on Kindle (and still free)
St. Martin's Press has released a new version of Paranoia, by Joseph Finder, for the Kindle (see my previous post for a synopsis). Rather than updating the existing ASIN, though, they removed that book from the store and added the new one - so you can purchase it again (it's currently still free, although they claim it's list price is $24.99) and have both editions in your library.
I've looked at both and although the number of locations increased by approximately 50%, the formatting of the text itself seems the same (from a very cursory glance), but there are some differences. The new edition doesn't have a cover (it has a plain bookplate instead, which is marked as the "beginning" of the book), no table of contents (there is a list of chapters on the last page, but it isn't linked at all) and is missing the "e-book information" pages at the tail end of the first edition. What's new is a fairly long sample from Finder's upcoming new book, Vanished ($14.29 pre-order). All in all, this newest edition looks more like a first stab at the book, rather than an update, but you may want to pick it up just for the sample. Very strange. |

Read this one yesterday... ARRRRGH!! I didn't realize it was the beginning of a series. Now I have to wait for the next book to find out how it resolves! Good story, YA genre I believe. Thanks for bringing it to the table, CS!  |
