A while back, I signed up for free ebooks from Tor. Tor was doing a promotion, and the free ebooks have been coming for about 14 weeks now, one a week. Next week is their last week, so this brings me to the end of the weekly books.
I have pretty much given up my entire reading list to concentrate on reading the books from Tor. It is kind of fun having new books being delivered to my email every week. I have read some really good ones, some enjoyable ones, and some really bad ones. For a while these books were really piling up, and I had completely abandoned my reading list. But as of a few weeks ago I am all caught up.
My favorite books that Tor has introduced me to are:
- Old Mans War (John Scalzi)
- Spin (Robert Charles Wilson)
- Mistborn (Brandon Sanderson)
- The Outstretched Shadow (Mercedes Lackey)
- Four and Twenty Blackbirds (Cherie Priest)
In their last email they mentioned that they are going to make all of the books available one last time, and I wanted everyone to know that! So sign up if you are interested. I think that they have a complete list of their free books on Tor’s myspace page.
My other reading interest is now goodreads.com. One person described it to me as “facebook for readers”, and it has been amusing and entertaining. I can now give my unsolicited opinions about books that my friends have read or are reading. And then there is the trivia. For several weeks it was been my passion to answer all of the trivia questions out there. But that has subsided now that I have Word Twist (which you should check out as well).

I need to connect with you on good reads then too. It is a great site. I keep adding more books to my too read shelf though than my read. I need to get reading more! I looked at Tor. Is it more scifi books? Have you read “The Host” yet? It is by Stephenie Meyer it is supposed to be good especially for those who love sci fi. I am going to be picking up the 4th book in the Twilight series when it comes out. I am interested to see how it ends! How about you?
