101 best jokes remains on the list at #12.
The Mating (Law of the Lycans) remains on the list at #14
Bonded (Prequel to The Mating) remains on the list at #16.
The Keeping (Sequel to The Mating) remains on the list at #18.
The Finding (Law of the Lycans #3) (The Law of the Lycans) still on the list at #29. I suspect some kind of orchestrated campaign by the author's fans is what is keeping the law of the Lycans series on the list so long. Hard to tell with free fiction and the fans of such authors. If it was good enough to sell, one would think that is what the author would try to do.
To Iraq And Back #32 today. Been on the list for several days now.
WHITE JADE spins a web of deceit and murder across the globe, against the backdrop of a deadly international power game.
Former Recon Marine Nick Carter is a man with a dark history of emotional and physical scars. He works for the PROJECT, a covert counter-terrorism unit reporting to the President. Selena Connor is a beautiful, strong and skilled linguist. When her wealthy uncle is murdered by someone looking for an ancient book about the elixir of immortality, she's thrown into Nick's dangerous world.
Nick is assigned to protect Selena and help her recover the missing text. It's the beginning of a life and death adventure reaching from San Francisco to Beijing, from Washington to the hidden chambers of Tibet. Someone is determined to take over China and attack America--and Nick and Selena are right in the line of fire.
International intrigue, terrorist acts and the threat of nuclear war form the core of this fast-paced thriller, the first volume in a series featuring Nick, Selena and the PROJECT.

[#36. The summary sounds pretty far fetched but it has plenty of good reviews.]
Reviews
"I was skeptical about this novel. Would I really be able to get drawn in to a story about a band of renegades trying to save the world's food supply? Well, the short answer is yes. I was completely engrossed from the very beginning. Season of the Harvest is smart and funny and wild and frightening and really, really scarily believable." - Reviewer Elizabeth Schulenburg
"This novel is a delicious treat for those who like action and adventure. It is a science fiction novel that is at once contemporary and reminiscent of the great novels that have bejeweled the genre through the years. It is a cautionary tale that will haunt the reader, and invite us all to think twice about the simple decisions we make every day." - Author Dan Moore

[#45. Another book that seems a little far fetched but has lots of favorable reviews. At free, you have little to lose other than some time to start reading it.]
A no-holds-barred, straight-in-your-face account of combat in Vietnam
You know it's going to be hot when your brigade is referred to as a Fireball unit. From May 1967 through May 1968, Ted Arthurs was in the thick of it, humping an eighty-pound rucksack through triple canopy jungle, chasing down the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. As sergeant major for a battalion of 800 men, it was his job to see them through this jungle hell and get them back home again.

[# 48. A book that has been on the list before. I am one of the guys who gave it a one star review. It is the kind of book I ought to like, but IMO it is just not very well written. I suspect VN vets who served in the same area may be able to get past the mediocre wiring and appreciate it more than I did. But, I suspect it will not be a general interest kind of book. As always, YMMV.]
Jim Knighthorse Series: First Three Books A holdover from yesterday at #62. Third day on the list, IIRC.
