I do a LOT of books in our homeschool.  And I get many for Kindle from our local library.  Here are some other places for Kindle or ereaders for finding great books.

It's nice to see that change may be coming to the standard practice of child birth.  Midwives have done these for years, and it's a big part of why they are so successful around the world.

MONEY

 My oldest daughter decided to be an author.  Last year she was interviewed on an online radio show.   She's revamping her whole collection ... and releasing a new book (and one for me!) in a few weeks.

TECHNOLOGY

 Not really sure where to put this one.   The product is amazing, a health watch that goes far beyond the fitness watches that are all the rage.   You can use it to help monitor an aging loved one, or a child that has health issues, and it is so much more!

Just Coincidence...

About 4 months ago, people began to notice that their Wish List sorting functionality was being limited.  It was intermittent, sometimes they would be normal, and sometimes not.  But it became more frequent.  Turns out that there are a LOT of servers hosting Amazon, and they were changing one server at a time.   So by the end of 2 months, all of them had been changed over, and sorting by price or price drops or anything other than priority was impossible.    BUT it still worked on the apps... until a few days ago.    

So I will no longer be watching for FREE books for more than just my own family.  It is far too time consuming to find them each day without stocking the Wish List with ones that were free ever so often.   I will be shifting then onto this Wish List https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NTRZEHR801VT/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2 and then deleting them as they stop being free or after they have been on the list a while, as long lists are also now VERY hard to manage.    I will still post savings and freebies on my twitter feed if I find any that look new, and they will go on the above list for my kids and a few friends to catch books, so tag along if you like.

If you like getting free Kindle Books of all types (mostly clean and kids) and learning about bargains… you might want to join my twitter feed.
