In the first half of January, I picked up 32 free e-books from Amazon.com (for Kindle) and from Barnes & Noble (for Nook). The free e-books dropped off a bit this month as it's no longer the holiday season, and my total for all of January is less than my total for just the second half of December. Read on to see the 22 freebies I've snagged since January 15, with book descriptions from the sites and links to purchase them.
Please Note: While all of these books were free at the time of my purchase, that does not guarantee that they are still free or that they will remain free. Make sure you check the price listed before purchasing any books.
At the start of every month, you can usually snag some pretty good books as free e-books from Amazon.com (for Kindle) and Barnes & Noble (for nook). The University of Chicago offers a free e-book each month as well. Read on to see the 32 freebies I've snagged so far this month, with book descriptions from the sites and links to purchase them.

My husband and I spent our New Year's Eve at a party hosted by close friends. Because it was a low-key, informal party, we didn't want to get too dressed up, but we still wanted to dress a little more "special" than usual. I threw together a quick and comfortable outfit that still had a "New Year's Eve" vibe to it:

Sparkly tunic shirt

Skinny jeans
I had worn the jeans several times before, but last night was the first time I wore the shirt. (I don't go to too many things that call for sparkle.) Both pieces were bought from thrift stores back in August: the jeans were from Salvation Army on 25% off day and the shirt was from Village Thrift on 50% off day. The total cost for the outfit: a mere $8.69, pre-tax. Not too bad for an outfit that netted me several compliments throughout the night.
