The Best FREE YA Books on Amazon!

We all know how Amazon Kindle is a host for indie authors to put their work out there. There are some awesome freebies out there, and here are some of my favorites!

The Confectioner’s Guild by Claire Luana

The Confectioner’s Guild is a rare diamond in the rough of Amazon Kindle’s free books. It is the first in a three book series with a prequel novella. We follow Wren Confectioner, a young sweets maker as she finds out that she has magic that she channels into her confections. After the guildmaster is poisoned, Wren is accused of his murder. Wren, along with a zany cast of characters must find the real killer before she is executed.

I was not expecting the ending, let me tell you. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who it was, and when the killer was finally revealed... wow! This book kept me wondering, with it’s many twists and turns. Its a perfect young adult mystery novel for fans of Truly Devious.

The Memory Thief by Rachel Morgan

The Memory Thief is the first in a six-novella series, with the novellas being in an episodic format. We follow Elle, a human in a world full of paranormal creatures. As humans don’t have as many rights, Elle must portray herself as a fae to get by. When Elle meets the handsome Dex, things begin to get weird.

This series as a whole is a quick and entertaining read, and I really enjoyed reading it! This series is a paranormal retelling of Cinderella, perfect for fans of The Lunar Chronicles.

Unenchanted by Chanda Hahn

While Unenchanted has been on the market for half a decade now, it’s still worth mentioning. This was one of the first Kindle books I’ve ever read, and it is the first of a six book series. We follow Mina Grime, your typical girl who just has some... weird things happen when she’s around. When she finds out that she is the descendant of the Brothers Grimm, it’s up to Mina to break the family curse and finish the fairy tales once and for all.

This series is a little bit more on the juvenile side (I’d say 13 to 15 years old), but it’s still a good read. A modern day retelling of fairytales, this series is perfect for fans of Geekerella.

All of these books are FREE on Amazon Kindle, so go grab your copy now!

2024 Reading Wrap-Up

Image
Happy end of year everyone! This one has been absolutely crazy for me, dealing with some of the uppiest ups and the downiest downs. I would summarize this year in one word: a rollercoaster. But throughout this year, one thing has been pretty consistent for me, and that would be reading. Through all of the crazy events of my life this year, it was rare when I was without a book (or e-reader) in hand. I actually read so much, that... I read 110 books this year! Go me! I'm very proud of myself for achieving this goal, as I've never read 100 books before, much less 110. My previous record was 79 books in 2021, and my original goal for this year was 80. I credit my ability to read so much more due to two things: one, the Kindle Fire HD 8 I received for Christmas in 2023, and two, my job allowing me ample reading time (while the kiddos sleep, of course). And with so many books comes many feelings, particularly of like and dislike, some of which I felt stronger for than others. Listed...

The Disappearance of Mekayla Bali

Image
Every person interested in true crime has that one case that sticks with them. The one case that keeps them awake at three in the morning, the one case that boggles the mind. For me, that case is the disappearance of Canadian teen Mekayla Bali. Why? Well, there’s so much coverage of her last movements before her disappearance, and yet no one knows where she is- or if she’s still alive. So, who is Mekayla Bali? Mekayla Margaret Kim Bali (formerly Niebergall) is a Canadian teenager from Yorkton, Saskatchewan. She lived with her mother, Paula, her two siblings, Joshua and Eliyora, and aunt, Rhonda. She had interests such as The Hunger Games and video games like League of Legends. She enjoyed playing the violin and accordion, and nature photography. She wanted to go into a career working with children or animals. She was just a normal teenage girl… However, there may have been something darker going on behind the scenes. Bali had multiple Facebook and Instagram accounts, including an Inst...

From The Vault: Speculation On the Upcoming Vault Tracks from Reputation (Taylor's Version) and Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)

Image
With the Tortured Poets Department era seemingly coming to a close soon, considering the speculated upcoming announcement for Reputation (Taylor's Version) , my mind has been on the vault tracks lately. In particular, the countless possibilities for the Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version ) vault tracks. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of interest in the Reputation vault tracks, but we don't have much knowledge on what those might be. Beyond possible re-recorded versions of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" with ZAYN, Taylor-penned Rihanna hit "This Is What You Came For," as well as scrapped Lover track "Need," we only have one other known song from this time: "Family," a song registered by Taylor in May of 2018 on GEMA and mentioned in an interview with Scott Swift, is the only unreleased song from the Reputation era that the public is aware of. Other than that, we're in the dark as to what Taylor may release from her sixth album...
