It's the End of the World as We Know It... And I Read Fine

Join us on Facebook

Greetings from the Apocalypse friends! We're all on lockdown trying to not to die of boredom while we're hiding from the virus. As much as I'd like to tell you that I can cure Covid-19, I can't. What I can do is try to help rescue you from the plague of boredom.

In an effort to spare all of your lives, I have amassed a list of books (and some music) that are available for free or at au reduced price. Hopefully this will help you through the boring times.



I've sourced this list from contacts I have on Facebook who are either authors, publishers, or both, from mailing lists that I'm part of and from random stuff that came up on my FB feed as advertising.  I have not read most of what follows but nobody's perfect, right?

I thought about downloading/uploading covers for all of these books, but I'm not feeling that ambitious. I mean, I love you all, but I'm a lazy bum. So I'll just be posting links and a little bit about the books I know anything about.
