Books

This page contains a list of books (mostly fiction) that I've read together with links to the ebook version where available. Apple has a free book of the week and did a promotion with a number of free books for various age groups. Starbucks give away codes for free books sometimes (on small cards near where you pick up your coffee). Smashwords have a number of free books, often the first book in a series.
