Five Free Classic Sci Fi/Fantasy E-Books for Kindle and Free Kindle Reader Apps
Here are five free classic sci fi / fantasy e-books to get you through the weekend. The links are to the Amazon Kindle site (these weren’t all free on Barnes & Noble). If you don’t have a Kindle, I strongly recommend downloading the free Kindle reader app. I’ve used it on a PC and found […]
Review of The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross (2011) (The Steampunk Chronicles – Book 1)
Bottom line: An intriguing first full-length installment of the series. I had a few complaints about the writing, but the story was very entertaining. I’d recommend reading The Strange Case of Finley Jayne first (although you don’t need it for The Girl in the Steel Corset to make sense) because it’s free and if you […]
Review of Invisible by Lorena McCourtney (Ivy Malone Series Book 1) (2004)
Bottom line: A fun mystery with a strong Christian presence. If you are looking for a new series to try that isn’t too intense, give this book a shot – especially since it’s free. Rating: Recommended Blurb: She’s not your average crime fighter! Meet Ivy Malone, an inconspicuous older woman who has a mutant curiosity […]
Review of Blunt Instrument by Georgette Heyer (Inspector Hannasyde #4) (1938)
Bottom line: An easy-going murder mystery set in 1930s London. Worth a try if you’re a fan of Agatha Christie or Ngaio Marsh and want something new (especially if you can borrow it). I didn’t enjoy it as much as I usually enjoy a Christie or Marsh, but it was still a pleasant enough read. […]
Review of The Strange Case of Finley Jayne by Kady Cross (Steampunk Chronicles – Prequel) (2011)
Bottom line: This novella is a wonderful introduction not only to the Steampunk Chronicles series, but to the steampunk genre itself. If you’ve been wanting to try out steampunk, wondered what it was, or just want a fun, well written book to read, give this one a shot. Also, it’s free! Update 7/1/2013: Not currently […]
Review of Timepiece by Heather Albano (2011)
Bottom line: Even though Timepiece took me a while to get into, once I got into it I was hooked. When I read it for the second time, I enjoyed it right from the beginning. Rating: Recommended Blurb: A novel-length steampunk time travel adventure about a girl, a pocket watch, Frankenstein’s monster, the Battle of […]
