KND Free Book Search Tool: Biography & Memoir

July 19, 2011

Powered by our magical Kindle free book tool, here are this morning's latest additions to our Kindle Free Book listings...
But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Here's the set-up:
Welcome To My World. Doing All Those Things I Thought I’d Never Do Again. The Unfaithful Widow is a collection of essays and fragmented thoughts on finding joy again after the loss of a mate. A memoir of the first year alone written with warmth and laughter, no subject is taboo. From dealing with the funeral home (Can I show your our upgraded cremation package? I looked at Miss Death, was I booking a vacation?) to dating again (He ran in the door, looked at me and said “I’ve left something in my car.” He never returned). Sprinkle in a bevy of rescue dogs (Finally a good nights sleep with someone new in my bed.) and those questions you hate to ask (Condoms anyone?). A story for anyone who has suffered loss and is determined to become their own super hero.
Each day’s list is sponsored by one paid title. We encourage you to support our sponsors and thank you for considering them.

      Vicki – Unfortunately, we’re at the mercy of the publishers on this. We don’t set the prices on the Kindle books listed here, we just provide the listings.

  2. BJay Merritt on November 26, 2011 at 5:34 pm

    This is my first use of your site. The first 3 book categories I tried to access said “Sorry, but demand was too high to complete your request. Please try again.”
    Is this a reference to the technical issues involved, such as high traffic to the particular server? Or is some method of controlling the number of free downloads?
    It’s pretty frustrating to be denied access to these free resources on my first use of the tool. I hope this isn’t some sort of scam.
    I got the link after purchasing your $0.99 ebook “Kindle free for All.”
