I was feeling a bit bored the other day because I had just finished the last book that I purchased from the Times Warehouse sale, so I decided to read some excerpts of books online to see if I wanted to get anything (PS: Times in 1Utama has 20% discount on books today, and MPH has 15% discount next weekend). Anyway, while browsing through sites like First Chapters – BookSpot.com and BookPage.com, I discovered that there were a few sites offering free E-Books!
So, immediately I started looking through the sites to see what I could find. Well, one of the major discoveries was a site that actually provided the whole Wizard of Oz series! I used to LOVE those books when I was a kid. In fact, I even considered buying the whole set through Amazon recently. So far I’ve read the first two books, and I still like them. I’ve provided the links to each book so that anyone can download them and relive your childhood memories, or make a new acquaintance!
