You know all those freebies you get on your e-reader that just sit in your e-reader? Why not get some of those freebies read in 2014? Pick a number for the amount you are challenging yourself to read as you save money and read a good book at the same time.

What an awesome idea Lorie. We all know we grab the freebies when we can but they don't carry the urgency to read that the ones we pay for do. Maybe I'll have to start a new collection called freebies & drop my new ones in it. My kindle had an issue in October & the majority of my books are in archive, so this could be just the thing to get them in the right collections again.

This is an awesome idea, Lorie! I've been trying to read more of my Kindle freebies, so doing a challenge will be a great way to help with that! Let's see, I think I'll try Coupon Clipper, which is 10.
01. Forget Me Not
02. Sixty Acres and a Bride
03. My Father, Maker of the Trees: How I Survived the Rwandan Genocide
04. Her Restless Heart
05. Love in the Balance
06. Deadly Aim
07. Caught in the Middle
08. Hide in Plain Sight
09. Before Bethlehem
10. The Mansion
I read about 3/4 of another Kindle book before having to stop because it no longer met my 'cleanness' requirements. Hope that doesn't end up meaning that I won't complete the challenge! (Side note, books should REALLY come with a rating on the back like games and movies do! lol)

WAHOO, I finished! :)

I did some sorting on my kindle & found more than I thought. I'll give Coupon Clipper (10) a whirl. I can always bump up to Buying in Bulk (20) as the year goes on.

1. A Graceful Amish Christmas by Becca Fisher (01/15/14)
2. Amish Wedding by Becca Fisher (03/11/14)
3. Ordinary Secrets by Olivia Newport (03/24/14)
4. The Inn At Hope Springs by Patricia Davids (06/22/14)
5. X Y Z by Anna Katharine Green (06/23/14)
6. Z Is for Xenophobe by Terry Faust (07/06/14)
7. The Narrow Path by Gail Sattler (08/01/14)
8. Amanda - a Daughter of the Mennonites by Anna Balmer Myers (08/15/14)
9. Deadly Aim by Patricia H. Rushford (10/11/14)
10. If I Left by Becca Fisher (12/12/14)

I'm in on this one too! I have tons of freebies on my kindle. When I made my collections, I made a collections for freebie for each genre. I don't know why I did it that way, but I can easily see the free ones from the purchased ones.

2. Until Forever by Darlene Shortridge - 4/13/14

How's everyone doing. I got one more to reach my goal.

I'm at two, so still a ways to go...

I forgot about this challenge. I'll need to go back & look at what I've read.

Sometimes it's hard to remember them all! Lol.

I didn't realize that some of the books were kindle freebies until I went to Amazon and was deleting them to make room for more books. Cool! I have exceeded my rather small goal for the year unintentionally. :)

Changed mine to coupon clipper. I forgot some I read were freebies too lol.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

How's the coupon clipping going? I almost forgot about this challenge. I can't wait to see what other folks pick up as freebies.

I know this is off topic but what is the difference between the kindle and the nook?

Finally got my 10 read. How is everyone else doing?

Good for you Lorie! I've forgotten about this. I've needed one more for awhile now. Maybe I need to double check my list.

Done! I updated my list above. I never did go back through my list to see what else was a freebie. I'll settle for what I have this year.

I planned on 5 and I actually did 8. Not bad considering I forgot about this too so I was not even trying!
