Free books

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers
The Saga of Pappy Gunn by George Churchill Kenney

The Sheik by Edith Maude Hull. Fun fact: two vendors are selling a paperback version of it for around $500. Published in 1921, a popular silent film was based on this controversial "romance novel". Read the wikipedia article to learn more. Too bad the publisher RMB put a lame cover on their Kindle version.

50 Masterpieces you have to read before you die - like many free books, this one is poorly formatted. The text is fine within each novel, but there is no table of contents and no hyperlinks to the individual titles. I downloaded it to see if how hard it would be to read a classic that is not elsewhere on my device. At the beginning of the volume is a list of all the authors, and I chose Henry Fielding. I used the search option to locate his name. Because of the large size of this ebook, it took my device 7 minutes to find the title page of his novel "Amelia", which was about halfway through the volume. YMMV.
Jane Austen: The Complete Novels
The Prisoner of Zenda (The Pieter Van In Mysteries) by Anthony Hope
Mujercitas (Spanish edition) by Louisa May Alcott
The last one is my pick of the day, recommended for anyone who wants to practice their Spanish by reading an entire novel. Little Women (Mujercitas) is written in simple language, and is easier to read than, say, a classic philosophy book translated to Spanish.
Recently released or just discounted to $0.00. I've never seen a free edition of Wittgenstein's work before. Lots of classic philosophy for you today!

Today I found yet another new (and temporarily free) edition of Little Woman. It's got the goofiest cover since the ebook of "A Christmas Carol" with Santa and Rudolph the reindeer on the book's cover. I could add a category on my ebook reader called "books with weird covers". I don't know of any characters in Little Women who wore a short dress and red high heels. Enjoy!

My day would not seem complete unless I post the latest new editions of Little Women. Anyone can publish a Kindle book on Amazon, and it's legal to make new editions of public domain works. So, to get a cut of the royalties that Amazon pays when Kindle Unlimited readers download your book, you may as well copy and publish a trending book. Slap a lame cover on it and watch the pennies roll in!Here are the 9th and 10th free copies published since Dec. 30. I love that the publisher of the first one notes that it's for ages 1-77. If you're 78+, find something else to read :)
