Am I allowed to promote my self-published books on my wordpress blog?

I want to promote my books on a wordpress blog set up for that purpose. Is that allowed?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, you can but our free hosted WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions. On free hosted WordPress.com blog we can use a contact form and/or a PayPal donation button only for sale of products or services created or provided by ourselves.

I will only be providing links redirecting people to the places where they can purchase the books.

If applicable see also for the only exception to the no affiliate links policy:
Types of Blogs not allowed:Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. Here is a thread in the support forums that talks more about which affiliate links are OK or not OK. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

That’s fine. As long as there is an actual blog and not just pseudo content and a link in every post aimed at driving traffic to other external sites you are good to go. :)
