i got the same email saying they couldn't fill the requests. bummer. i was really looking forward to those books.

I received an email today telling me that there were so many requests that they were not able to fulfill all of the requests that came in. They did email excerpts of the three novels I picked. Oh well, better luck next time!

Haven't received any books, anyone?

Has anyone gotten anything yet? I've been hoping these would actually come, but nothin' so far.

Where's your subscription link?

Where is the subscriber link? I stumbled accross your site! I can't find your subscription link1

If someone was offering a donation to charity, would you go sign up as [insert name]'s Personal Charity, knowing full well that there's someone more deserving?

Seems the site is now closed to orders

I also got ship dates of June 10th and 27th and July 25th. I am a little sceptical that these will actually arrive, but we'll see. Fingers crossed!

Get over it already- We've all read the numerous posts you've written and we get the point. Move on to the next one!

I did order one of the previous free books, but this offer is obviously intended for people who are going to be able to help the publisher sell--booksellers, librarians, etc. I just think it's cheating to lie in order to acquire something, especially when it's obviously not a necessity of life! Every person will make their own decision, but I pass on freebies that I don't need, won't use, or aren't intended for me.

I'm a reviewer of mystery fiction, so I was happy to get this. If the publication date is in the future, you will probably not get a finished book, but an advanced reading copy or galley. Those are for librarians and booksellers to try out to see how many, if at all, they want to order. For reviewers like myself, they want us to read and submit reviews, hoping for positive reviews. I ordered a fiction one as I like to read something other than mysteries every once in a while. Thanks for this, Goob!

I passed on this freebie as well, but won't pass judgment on others who didn't.

Thank Goodness it's Friday, people

I was going to say the same thing veronica! my husband asks me how the book is, and I tell him...thats a review, right?

oh yea i had these ordered a couple of days ago..and was struggling to figure out what to put in the reviewer/media/library thing so i just used my Amazon seller account info. I'm looking foward to getting these :D

Hooray Veronica...for thinking outside the box and NOT being negative, false or narrow minded. Creativity is wonderful thing!!

I didn't lie because I have a library at home. They didn't ask whether it was a public library or personal library. For the name I've put "Veronica's Library" and its the truth. We're just thinking outside of the box! :) No need to shame us...

WOW YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC...JUST TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Hooray free books!

And I didn't lie - I AM a 'reviewer' - and my husband does have a business name - so there!

I just ordered 3 this morning - free books, free shipping. Yeah!!!!!!

some people need to get a life!

I have my honesty and my dignity...but sometimes we need to adjust our thinking and look beyond our own circumstances...many of us are out of work and struggling financially and NEED these freebie sites. If you don't like, don't need or just plain disagree with an offer - just pass. A judgemental attitude helps no one. Thank you Goob and all your friends for all your hard work to bring us freebies that we either can use or can donate ie: baby samples for single/stuggling moms or pet foods for the shelters, etc. (and feel that we doing our part in donating back to society).

I'm passing on this "freebie" as I really think it's dishonest....I don't think lying is part of the "freebie game." If so, then I guess I'd rather have my dignity.

The estimated ship date is NOT when they are shipping to YOU - it is when the books will be published - afterwhich they will be available to those who sign up. So, as long as the "ship date" has passed, they should come. Some of the books were not being published until December, so they are telling you that they won't be sent out to you until AFTER that.

jesus, it should of came with valium for half you guys...it will come, chill, and lying is just part of the freebie game..get over it..if its starting to charge then its either been hiffed or its over and you missed out

bet ya dont get a book-how can you give away free books?

HAHA. I JUST TRIED TO ORDER AND MY SHIP DATES ARE MAY 1, 2009. SO IT THIS FOR REAL OR WHAT? HAS ANYONE RECIEVED ANYTHING YET???

i had no problems and just used my writing group for media affilate and didnt get charged shipping fee or any odd shipping date must been a fluke in the system for those who had problems but cant wait to get the three books .

Thanks! I've been ordering free books all week. My mom loves reading books, and these will be perfect for her

Wait, do you get all 3 book free?

I think it's a great idea to get these books and donate them. Obviously they have enough copies so I don't feel bad!

Since technically I am also an Amazon bookseller - I didn't feel guilty about this at all :)

boohoo captDis boo hoo for you

I think it's dishonorable to acquire books through dishonest means, especially when, as some of you mentioned, you do have access to libraries.

I also made up a company name but the ship dates were odd.. I wonder if this offer is any good.

Felt a slight twinge about the fib but figure I donate my books to the local library anyway...and then all is right with the world again! =)

That's what I got too Debbie....hmm...

I got ship dates of January and June 2009??? I wonder if this campaign is still valid? Did anyone else get strange past dates for shipping?

I used the company I work for name....and just tweeked it to be a book store. :-)

It didn't ask me for payment option. It went though fine, I got a "thank you". I'm super excited about the books, especially Mercury in Retrograde. I've heard about it and was thinking about buying it. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, Adam!

what do I use for payment option. I am getting charged 3.99 for shipping plus book fee. where do I go to get it free

There is no such thing as too many books. I'm super excited to get books!!!

Wow! I actually work at a library. I thought it was just free shipping too but no, it appears to be all free.

I made up a name too....I wonder if we can do this in the future with more books too. If I don't care for them, I will donate them.

Hmm, I hope they arrive...

You hit the nail on the head, Mimi and Niki: That's pretty much the way it is with some of these that you just need to make up a company name. For me, because I've reviewed for blogs and other online resources in the past, I feel alright about using my production company name for it, but to each of us our own. :)

ok, its all free, i jsut made up a company name

and it looks to me that only the shipping is free
