Your public library is a fantastic resource for free books. I read an average of 2 books a week and haven't yet paid for one. In fact, I just finished Explosive Eighteen/Janet Evanovich from my library.

If you have a library card, you can go here:
http://library2go.lib.overdrive.com/...en/Default.htm
From a drop down list, you can pick out your local library where your card is registered and then browse their database by authors, titles, subject, all kinds of stuff - and can download a library loan for up to 21 days. For some books you might have to place a hold like you do at a physical library to get in line for it but there are thousands of books out there to borrow. This started about Sept of last year and is really neat! After you have read the book, you just push the button to electronically return it to the library - or if the expiration date comes first, it will automatically be returned and you would need to check it out again, great invention!!!

I also use Pixel of Ink. However, there's another site for Christian books or clean reading called Inspired Reads. there's another one named Kindle Nation also. I belong to several of these on Facebook, but I also get the daily email that's a digest of everything offered. Yes, indeed, there are sometimes Debbie Macomber books offered. Just this week they offered Call Me Mrs. Miracle for free. I also love to read Amish fiction and there are occasionally free Amish fiction books as well. What is true about the free books is that Amazon offers the first one in a series sometimes to get you interested in that author so you'll buy the rest of the series. I have had my Kindle for about 8 months and have already downloaded over 650 books; with only about 5 being ones I purchased. Often there will be books offered for a reduced price, like $1.99 or $2.99, which is a bargain!! Good Luck!
