Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Free Book Friday

I used to order quite a few of my Dead Tree Harlequins via their web site, and when I did - I always tried to order on Fridays because of their weekly free book offer. I've since gone digital for my Harlequin fix, but I still love to check out their Freebie Friday deals because....well, just because.

Today, October 30, the free book is none other than A Holiday Romance by Carrie Alexander. I reviewed this book earlier this summer for TGTBTU, giving it a B+. Making it one of the better books I've read this year.

Yes, I know the people on the front cover look like creepy plastic Stepford people - but this is exactly the kind of book I like to chuck at people who like to tell me (in a haughty, snotty tone no less) that all Harlequins have secret babies in them.

This little gem of a romance has no tycoons, no babies (secret or otherwise), no precocious toddlers, no amnesia, no whiff of pregnancy anywhere within the pages, and no cowboys. It's a nice, solid romance between two grown adults. Seriously. It's great.

So if you're thinking of putting together a Harlequin order anyway - why not do it today and get this lovely little book?

Lori! Always order on Friday! Even if you don't want the freebie one of the grabby So. Cal. Bloggers would probably take it off your hands :)

Leya: I think you'll like this one. I've found we agree quite a bit on Supers.....

I just got a Sony reader for my birthday a few days ago, so I'll be missing out on the Freebie Fridays from now on.

BUT, I discovered today that I can still get free Harlequin books, it's just free ebook Wednesdays at Sony instead. On Wednesday I happened to order a couple of Harlequin ebooks from Sony, and today I got the message about the promotion and free download of Caught in the Act by Samantha Hunter (Blaze). So that was a very nice surprise.

Just have to change my mindset to Freebie Wednesdays, from now on.
