It's All About the FREE baby!

I have downloaded so many free books that are never read, this is perfect! When someone wants to give me a gift but doesn't know what, I get a bookstore giftcard :D I've also won several books that count.



Challenge 1: Free Reads at Bookish Ardour
Any book that you own but did NOT purchase. Gifts, ARCs, and contest winners count but library books do not. I'm going for For Me? and plan to read 5 books. I can move up, but not down.
1. The Hawk and His Boy by Christopher Bunn (free download)
2. Deep Disclosure by Dee Davis (gift)
3. Carrots by Colleen Helme (free download)
4. Nitt Witt Hill by Sebastian Gibson (ARC)
5. The Book of Deacon by Joseph Lallo (free download)

~Challenge Completed~
February 10

Blood Oath - planned




Challenge 2: Why Buy the Cow? at The Unread Reader
No library books, books you've won, or ARCs. This is strictly for ebooks you've downloaded LEGALLY for FREE. I'm going to be a Coupon Clipper and read 12 Books.
1. The Hawk and His Boy by Christopher Bunn
2. Carrots by Colleen Helme
3. The Book of Deacon by Joseph Lallo
4. How Lego Built a Comeback by the editors of New Word City
5. Pieces of a Rainbow by Maria Savva
