Free eBooks: 02/15/2012

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 55 freebies I've snagged so far this month, 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.

Backlog

I currently have a huge backlog of hauls, freebie ebooks, and other topics to post on here, as seen by the pile of receipts at left, which has actually doubled since the photo was taken. I'm going to be working diligently to publish all these overdue posts, which I'll backdate to the appropriate dates so there isn't an over-abundance of posts listed for the month of February. I'll update this post with links to the backdated posts below, so you can easily figure out which ones are new.

In the meantime, make sure to follow me on Twitter @FrugalAndrea. I usually tweet a few times a day, mostly coupons, discounts, and other deals, but also news and trivia about fashion and shopping.

HAUL: $75 at Village Thrift

Due to its proximity to my house, Village Thrift has quickly become one of my favorite thrift stores. In the past several months since my first visit to the store, I've tried to check in once every other week or so on half-price Sunday or Monday. Last night, I scooped up one of my smaller Village Thrift hauls, but nabbed the priciest single thrift store clothing item I've ever purchased.
