Free Kindle books in Amazon Prime Reading 2020

Are you an Amazon Prime member? These 10 books have joined Prime Reading catalog, and you can read them free of charge with your subscription.

Prime Reading is one of the most popular benefits included in Amazon Prime membership. It gives unlimited access to Kindle bestsellers, comics, children’s books, short reads, and current issues of popular magazines, as well as audiobook narrations.

The list of Prime Reading eligible titles is being refreshed every couple of weeks. At the beginning, the catalog included about 1,000 positions. Right now, between 2,000 and 3,000 titles are featured.

The list is rotating, which means that as some titles join it, others are leaving, just like in Netflix or HBO Go. Some books are here from the beginning, naming only The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, or Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, but a vast majority of books are circulating. It’s a good habit to check out the list of eligible titles once a month.

Enter crotchety Grandma Melvyn, who calls everyone “Trixie” and complains about everything. When Grandma Melvyn moves in and takes over his room, Robbie discovers that she was once an internationally renowned magician and learns about the heartache that turned her into a bitter woman.

Against all odds, Robbie and Grandma Melvyn form an uneasy alliance to show the world – or at least the kids of Hobson Elementary School – that he is a true magician. Shortly after a successful talent show, Grandma Melvyn performs a final disappearing act, and Robbie learns a little about the true meaning of magic.

Written with pitch-perfect middle-grade humor and unforgettable characters, this gem of a novel will stay with readers long after Dorko the Magnificent has taken his final bow.

In 1841, a Japanese fishing vessel sinks. Its crew is forced to swim to a small, unknown island, where they are rescued by a passing American ship. Japan’s borders remain closed to all Western nations, so the crew sets off to America, learning English on the way.

Manjiro, a fourteen-year-old boy, is curious and eager to learn everything he can about this new culture. Eventually, the captain adopts Manjiro and takes him to his home in New England. The boy lives for some time in New England, and then heads to San Francisco to pan for gold. After many years, he makes it back to Japan, only to be imprisoned as an outsider.

With his hard-won knowledge of the West, Manjiro is in a unique position to persuade the shogun to ease open the boundaries around Japan; he may even achieve his unlikely dream of becoming a samurai.

The Ghost Army of World War II

The Ghost Army of World War II - Kindle free books Amazon Prime

Elizabeth Sayles, Rick Beyer

In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs – including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey – landed in France to conduct a secret mission.

Armed with truckloads of inflatable tanks, a massive collection of sound-effects records, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves, their job was to create a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the German Army as their audience.

From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units.
