My Favorite Free Ebooks (and where you can grab ‘em)

So, last week I showed you some links to grab some free literature in ebook format. But browsing those sites can be a little like drinking from the fire hose, it’s hard to tell what’s out there and what’s good. So, today I’ll be posting some of my favorite free ebooks and links where you can grab them*. Feel free to leave your own links in the comments.  And remember, these aren’t books I just like, these are books I love to pieces:

*some caveats: a few of my favorite ebooks are no longer available for free download, so I don’t list those here (they include Tobias Buckell’s Crystal Rain and some others that were given away by Tor for promotional reasons as well as digital ARCS I’ve gotten from various people). Also, I might add that I own a majority of the books also listed here in print form. Mostly because I liked reading the ebook version and I wanted a physical copy to shove in my library at home.
