By popular request, I thought I would highlight the free Kindle book offers in another genre. The next few paragraphs will be new to folks who have just discovered or have recently joined in to reading the blog, and for others it will look familiar…be patient, Grasshopper, as the details – as well as links to the prior genre highlights – will be on your screen before you know it!
I’ve received a lot of requests to highlight more of one particular genre or another – let’s say that’s science fiction. On the other hand, as an example, I receive a lot of requests to decrease the exposure to science fiction and increase the exposure on mysteries and thrillers.
In other words, everyone has a different favorite genre – and that’s great!
In each post of the various free book offers I try to provide a variety of different genres, as I realize everyone has different tastes. While there are certain genres I love, I know there are folks out there who absolutely wouldn’t stand to read the kinds of books I enjoy; the opposite is also true, as I know there are those of you who absolutely love paranormal tales about vampires – as one example – yet you would never catch me reading one of those (hasn’t that type of tale been overdone by everyone and their brother?).
For a new series of posts over the next few weeks, I’m just going to point you to the specific genre in the Amazon Kindle store where you can peruse to your heart’s content: some of the genres you may really like, and for the ones you don’t like rest assured there will always be another post down the road.
All that being said, today’s focus is the free Kindle book offerings in the Cooking genre: as I type up this post on Wednesday night for posting on Thursday morning, there are just over 140 free books in the cooking category. I’ve created a special link where you can check out the listings of freebies in those categories you can save to your web browser/s favorites / bookmarks as follows:
Alternatively, if you are using a Kindle Touch you can click here.
The number of books free in this (and any other) category change each hour and, just because you may click the link(s) above doesn’t mean each and every book listed will be free: if a price is showing, it may mean the price is (a) about to change to free and the Amazon server hasn’t caught up yet, (b) was free but is now back to “paid” status, or (c) any of 1,001 different reasons. The key thing to do is to carefully look at the price before you click the “buy” button on the Amazon website. I would recommend you change the sort on this page (look in the right-hand corner on the Amazon page) to sort by “Price: Low to High.”
Here are past spotlights in case you missed them:
Over 575 horror titles being free in the Amazon Kindle store (you can click here or type in http://wp.me/p2b82w-3gl into your web browser to see that post again or in case you missed it).

Over 500 religion and spirituality books being free in the Amazon Kindle store (you can click here or type in http://wp.me/p2b82w-3bd into your web browser to see that post again or in case you missed it).
I hope each of you have a great rest of your day!
Michael

When I click on the mystery/thriller link, it takes me to kids free books. Am I doing something wrong?
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am

It all worked for me.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
I found the response time slow. When I clicked on romance I got advice & how to but it worked the 2nd time. Had some trouble opening the featured article but finally got it. I tried to do this from my facebook link but it came up that page couldn’t be found. Good luck Michael!
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Great article! Can’t wait to look at the free cookbooks! The response time was a little slow when I get to the 3rd previous and 4th previous pages. Otherwise the links seem to work!
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Michael, everything worked for me. I have been experiencing really slow response times in the past couple weeks of. The blog has really been almost unreadable on the PC. But, on the Kindle Fire its been fine. However, 2 things have changed in the last few days. 1. You resolved your web issues and 2. I got a new computer. Now I am not sure if my problems were from my old computer or the new server. Everything appears to be working now.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Followed your directions and it all worked for me.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Sheila…that same thing happened to me! I just told Michael on a different comment page that everything worked fine and I realized that my ‘romance’ took me to the ‘how to’ as well. I started from my email not fbook.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Seems to work just fine. Thank you Michael for all you do.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
I didn’t have any trouble opening anything. On the home page, I didn’t have to click on the title to open it, it opened automatically. I didn’t find the response time slow. No problems with featured article or with genre, either. Love the look of the new site.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Worked great for me. Love the blog, the links and all the “inside” information. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this. You rock Michael.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:15 am
thanks michael ran through the scenario from sundays blog. everything worked well except the back button b/c each click opened a new tab.response was great for me as well, I am operating from mac os , maybe reason response time was quicker than some others but site seems to be working fine.

Works fine for me! Also enjoying the quotes book by Rylee & Reed Gallagher! Hope they get the money to go to DC.
