Follower Lurrrrvvvvvv

I love my followers almost as much as I love free e-books. 
You know what else I love. NEW followers.


I'm very excited to do my very first blog hop. Thanks to I'm a Reader, Not a Writer and Rachael Renee Anderson for hosting the blog hop. This one is HUGE and I'm so glad you made it all the way down to little number 196 (or where ever my blog is listed now - pretty far down the list. Phew!)

Click here for the linky to all the other hippity hoppity blogs. 

For most of you this is your first visit to Amy Denim's 365 days, 365 Free E-books. So here's the gist.
I'm poor. 
I'm a reading addict. 
I got a Kindle for Christmas. 
I download free e-books for it.

But there are A LOT of free ebooks available, not only from Amazon, but other places too.How is one to choose which books to get and which to skip?

That's where I come in.

Almost everyday, I download around ten-ish e-books from various sources. I read one and put up a review letting you know whether to One-Click it (which is the fast and easy way to download from Amazon) or to skip it. 
I pepper these posts with advice for authors, recommendation on whether to check out other books, and my own personal rants.
The days I don't review a free book I post resources to find free e-book (Did you know you can get them from your local neighborhood library too) or my own downloads of the day. 

I'm a Romance writer (proud member of RWA, my local Colorado chapter and Rainbow Romance Writers), so most of the books featured are my favorite genre. I like to throw in some YA, general fiction and even a couple of non-fiction books just for fun every once in a while.

I also try to do at least one giveaway a month.
The nature of free ebooks is here today gone tomorrow, so a majority of my giveaways are spur of the moment. Best way to find out about them...subscribe. (surprised aren't you?)

The giveaways so far were:
A paperback copy of Jean M. Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear 
(I'm and Earth's Children Ambassador)

5 Kindle copy of SEAL of my Dreams by a truckload of Romance Authors 
(proceeds benefit Veterans Research Corporation, a non-profit fundraiser for veterans' medical research)

A Kindle Copy of Marie Sexton's Cinder 
A CinderFella story--it's all fun and games until somebody loses a shoe...  

For the Follower Love Blog hop giveaway I'm offering you, my lovely new readers, a choice of one of the newest releases from some of my favorite Romance authors (who all happen to be chapter mates of mine)

PRIZE: Your choice of one of the following Kindle books/two pack:
