One of our members made a fantastic comment that I feel is worth mentioning. She said that so many of us download the freebies but she hardly ever sees many people actually read them. I thought we could start a section just for "freebie" buddy reads. Feel free to discuss and partner up with someone to discuss freebies here. ONLY FREEBIE DISCUSSIONS PLEASE. This is also an excellent opportunity to read and critique the work of new and struggling authors.

Oh Ok, I wanted to post in the Freebies section the same post from Suggestions thread but I found you opened this one up ;) Thanks, this is great :) Now we don't have to discuss this on different thread, but we have one dedicated just for this ;)
(zombies); here is the freebie we could all download, I know it's a random choice but it has 66 reviews and 4* rating. It is not too long either, 208 pages:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B...
(scifi/horror, short story), 19 reviews, 4*, 40 pages:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A...
(serial killer, thriller), 14 reviews, 4*, 256 pages:
http://www.amazon.com/Beneath-Mask-Sa...
(technothriller), 29 review, 4,5*, 354 pages:
http://www.amazon.com/NanoStrike-Pete...
I'll post few more freebies that catch my eye (so can you) and since we'll all have them downloaded, we can then decice what to read :) Hope everyone agrees :)

Great idea Cindy. I read quite a few freebies. Grabbed Nanosecond just a minute ago & may read that next.
Let me know what you want to read.

It was actually Natasa who came up with the idea. I just started the discussion. I think it's fantastic.

Hi guys, let me just remind once more why we have opened this folder...it is dedicated to freebies that we buy daily and I'm sure not every book catches our attention, but some do...if you really love some freebie you found today, post it here and tell us, there might be a buddy who will 'buy' it and buddy read it with you :)
I have to be honest, sometimes I just click on the links and buy them. I think of it this way, maybe I won't read it, but maybe some of my GR friends asks to borrow this book one day...but I am partly as well greedy I guess.
When I have some sense in my little brain cells, I usually read what the book is about and decide to buy the freebie or not. So many times I told myself to read that scpecific book that cought my eye (but I was too quick to click all the linksto buy it but not to write down the name and author of the book). Of corse then it got burried beneath all the others that I bought later and already a day after I have no idea about which book all the fuss was about :)
I'm sure there must be someone else who does the same thing as I do?
Hopefully, I'll post 'that' book here and that you will find something of interest as well. We can mark it to read it later, right?

Do you like any of these books Cindy - better said which one would like to read?
You can as well post another freebie if you want from the other thread if you loved some other genre maybe...it would be fun to see what you (and other members) like, not just me pushing my chioces :)
And no rush...we can do it in 2 weeks time if you want, that would be ok for me as well :) hope that's enough time to clear up our heavy book traffic lol - I have some books as well that keep on waiting me :)
