June's two free ebooks

  • This month we are giving away another two free ebooks: Tom Reynolds' More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea (the follow-up to his hugely successful Blood, Sweat and Tea) and City-Lit: London:

    Tom Reynolds is an ambulance worker. On any given day he can be attacked by strangers, sworn at by motorists, puked on, covered in blood and other much more unpleasant substances. He could help to deliver a baby in the morning and witness the last moments of a dying man in the afternoon. He deals with road accidents, knife attacks, domestic violence, drug overdoses, neglect and suffering. Tom blogs about his experiences at the end of each shift. His Random Acts of Reality website has a huge following with over 30,000 visitors every day. In his second book based on his blog, he is tired, he is frustrated and he is more angry than ever, but he still manages to capture the moving, heartwarming and inspirational moments that happen alongside the chaos.

    Download More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea or buy the book.

    London is the world's most happening, most exciting and most diverse city. From Roman stronghold and capital of the British Empire to financial powerhouse and city of the 2012 Olympics, London has always looked to the past and the future. No one reflects this complexity better than London's writers, whether home-grown, adopted or simply visiting. City-Lit: London offers us the best ever writing on this amazing city with over sixty dazzling writers. Join them as Will Self gets inside the head of a London cabby; Jan Morris flies in to Heathrow; Monica Ali smells the curry on Brick Lane; Alan Bennett gives us a ride in the Queen's carriage; Xiaolu Guo enjoys a greasy spoon cafe in Hackney; Helen Simpson takes us for a stroll on Hampstead Heath; Beryl Bainbridge attends Dr Johnson's funeral in Westminster Abbey; Virginia Woolf goes shopping in Oxford Street; and Dostoyevsky strolls down the Haymarket.

    I never thought I would like reading e-books. After checking out these free ones, I enjoyed it very much. The books were excellent & the experience of reading on my laptop was quite pleasant. I will make use of e-books as I have little room for hard copies, but my hard drive does for e-books. Thanks!By Bobby - 2009-06-14 17:40:40

    Getting our mail is iffy, very iffy, where we live in Eastern Europe. This makes ordering books hard or, rather, chancey. Thanks so much for this -- Susan, confessed biblioholicBy Susan - 2009-06-15 11:43:46
