On some days there will be mainly pointers to free-book message threads by Kindle forum members for the day. It depends on how much time I have.
Click here to get the April 6 book recommendations and direct links to the Kindle books. The ongoing Link to the most recent book links blogged:
The SECOND-most recent links (today's are from April 5 -- yesterday), can be found here.
Night Swim, by Jessica Kenner, 21 customer reviews, 4.9 stars average, $0.00
The book was released Jan. 2012 and gets raves from a number of sources.
Today, Friday, there have been about 420-600 temporarily free books released, depending on the various websites' numbers.
Forum regulars post titles and descriptions for the books that each pick as interesting for themselves, as that should help others who don't have the time to go check out hundreds each day.
The message threads with "no chat" in them are ending tonight, and the ones "with chat" will take longer to read through. I'll tend to link you, in the future, to the message threads "with chat" [I omit the chat from my long-listings], and you can just skim the the threads, which do have direct links also, to get the books of interest if you want them sooner.
For today, April 6, I've posted, on the new ongoing blog page, a list of 241 links to free-Kindle books chosen by 23 Kindle forum regulars as of noon today.
There are descriptions or genre information for many of these and a few of the books are discussed.
Again, these are recommended temporarily-free Kindle book links for Friday, April 6.
Recently discounted books
There is also a popular message thread of links to good Kindle books that have recently had the price lowered. I haven't mentioned these lately, and I'll link you to those starting at the page showing listings March 31, 2012 and after, as earlier ones will more likely be back at regular pricing.
As with free books, these often last for only days (sometimes only hours, on promos, though some will remain at the lower price for a longer time). You might want to skip ahead there to catch the latest ones first and work backwards, but this gives you a starting point in a humongous list.
Friday's Kindle Daily Deal
As usual, a reminder of the ongoing Kindle Daily Deal. Friday's: 'The Westies'.

English, $1.99 Friday (it was $9.99 on Thursday), 3 customer reviews, 4.8 stars avg.
“Sterling social history . . . the author’s skillful reporting makes the most of his subject.” — The New Yorker
“A disquieting look at a worthwhile subject: the frailties of justice in the big city.” — The New York Time

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
