Today I Loaded My Kindle With…

Yoga. I stumbled across two yoga freebies, one in particular for us desk jockeys. Office workers, writers, students and anyone stuck in front of a screen all day could really do with some good yoga stretches. People with portable offices, especially those who live in New York, may find today’s travel guide useful, a listing of the best cafes for writers, students and bloggers.

Speaking of writers, some of you may be familiar with the awesome Simon Haynes, creator of the free word processing software, yWriter. He is also a scifi author and the first book in his Hal Spacejock series is currently on the freebie list.

The writers among you may also be interested in “15 Things Every Writer Needs to Know.” It’s a section taken from a larger book, “Writing Online.” A good freebie makes for an incentive to buy. We’ll see how this one stacks up.

For fiction, I picked up the granddaddy of all them bloodsucking novels, “Dracula,” along with Bram Stoker’s short story compilation, “Dracula’s Guest.” I also grabbed a couple of YA fantasies.

A previously listed four-in-one cookbook has become available for free again and is listed below.

Enjoy the weekend!

Fiction

Hal Spacejock by Simon Haynes
Deep in debt and with his life on the line, Hal takes on a dodgy cargo job … and an equally dodgy co-pilot. This 80,000-word novel is the first book in the Hal Spacejock series.

Dracula by Bram Stoker
A naive young Englishman travels to Transylvania to do business with a client, Count Dracula. After showing his true and terrifying colors, Dracula boards a ship for England in search of new, fresh blood. Unexplained disasters begin to occur in the streets of London before the mystery and the evil doer are finally put to rest.

Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker
(No description was provided. This is from Amazon reviewer Paul S. Mcalduff) I consider this to be one of Stoker’s best books. I would rate it right up there with “Dracula” and “The Jewel of the Seven Stars”. The short stories in this collection are great. I especially liked the stories `Dracula’s Guest’ (which is supposed to be an exercised chapter from Dracula) and `The Judge’s House’.
