Thank you for the free books site. I have downloaded free books to my Kindle and am now liking it alot.

Just finished The Cat's Table and am reading now The Tiger's Wife. Both good. While on a cruise recently of fifteen days to Hawaii read Mercy by Jodi Picoult and it was marvelous, also Little Bee. Both had extremely well defined characters and both were well written.

The very best book I have read this spring is The Fall of Giants by Follette.
I read a great deal and yet find many books so poorly written I am surprised they are published at all. Yet there are wonderful books coming out every day. I am in a writing group and have been for thirty some years and love to read and WRITE. And, of course,QUILT or maybe I should say PIECE for I don't do hand sewing and send my quilts out for quilting. I usually make full or queen size.

I am reading Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly.

I am reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas, again. A great story and well worth the time reading it.

I'll confess, I'm an oddball

Current book:
Geological Evolution of the Colorado Plateau

Current Ebook
Honest, the Martian ate your dog.

Watching the DVD of the 1986 Mets.

I like to know what's overhead and underfoot, hence Geology and Astronomy. Took a couple of semesters of each in college.

If you want free classics - check out Project Gutenberg. Manybooks also has these, plus a few Creative Commons.
A lot of new authors will publish via Creative Commons to see how a book will go, then hope you will buy the sequel.

Obooko also has some - but you had better know how to convert to either pdf or epub.

I like Sci - Fi and must have collected over 300 books by now. I have them stashed on a computer and just transfer by using a card reader.

I have to put my 2 cents in, I read all kinds of books, and am not a prude by any means, but I found the first Shades of Grey WAY out of my comfort zone. I don't plan to read the other two. It isn't just the sex, but demeaning sadomasochistic sex as a young girls first experience. I can't even imagine how they can make a movie of this book. Just want you to be prepared. I was very sorry to have spent money on it at my ereader store. That being said, I have finished every book I ever started and this was no exception.

I love all of the Stephanie Plum by the numbers books by Janet Evanovich and the women's murder club books. Also the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris.

Your library should have access to a state library specifically for ebooks. You just have to get a pass-code for your town. I just finished reading Jodi Picoult's Lone Wolf, and loved it. Recently finished Joy Fielding's book Still Life and really enjoyed that also.

Just finished The Road to Grace, Book Three of the Walk Series by Richard Paul Evans.

I also get free books from Bookbub.com and Bookontheknob.com for my kindle and Nook.

Great writer! Did you know he also writes children's books?? Scandinavian crime writers are really getting their due thanks to Larssen. Try Johan Theorin.

That about sums it up. The author isn't the greatest writer. Reminds me of Stephenie Meyer in that people go nuts for a mediocre product.

Fifty shades fo chicken is very funny and quite good, too.

I'm reading Ann B Ross's series about Miss Julia - fun light reading. I still use the library and sometimes if I find books on sale buy them. Went to a used book store thinking I could get some bargains books started at $5.50 and up. Go some bargain books at a christian bookstore for $3.97 - so I bought them.

Who writes the Miss Read series? Sounds like something I would like.

The Miss Read series is written by: Miss Read and J.S. Goodall...according to Google. I've always just found them under Miss Read.

I am reading The Transit of Venus for our reading group which meets next Wed.

My DH originally bought me a Sony ereader. That was an expensive mistake. And Sony was no help. We could not have a pdf on there at the same time as an epub. It's now a paper weight - spent about $300 on that piece of junk. A year later DH bought me a Nook Color and I absolutely love it. Can listen to audio books and also watch Netflix or even check email (although this function is slow). Barnes and Noble has a lot of free books and also authors will sometimes run a special on some of their books for a limited time. The very best feature of the ereader is being able to increase font size - the older I get the harder it is to read small print. And, since it's backlit, whenever DH and I travel and I can't sleep, I can read in bed without disturbing him.

My favorite authors are Jayne Ann Krents/Jayne Castle/Amanda Quick, Nora Robers/J.D. Robb, Linda Howard, Janet Evanovich, Christine Feehan, Robyn Carr, Carla Neggars, Janet Chapman, Sandra Brown, Susan Mallery, Linda Lael Miller, Christina Dodd, Anne McCaffrey, J. K. Rowling, Judi McCoy (dogwalker mysteries).

Well, I officially feel way less grown up now!!! The book I just started this morning is the Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I am a huge Percy Jackson fan and his newest series is really good too. I wasn't a huge fan of his Kane series however. Other than that I spend most of my time in the sci fi/Fantasy or children's sections of barnes and noble. :o. I personally don't like the whole e-reader thing, but my husband does, and I am going to use it soon cause he got the sherlock holmes series free from Amazon. I have a few books from my favorite authors coming out over the next two months so huzzah for that!!! :).

I do enjoy a few mysteries, I love Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Tess Gerritsen. I have also gotten into the Cadfael series with Derek Jacobi. It's based of books by Ellis Peters so I'm gonna try those out too.

For a quick feel good book where there's always a happy ending I usually grab a romance. Though I have enjoyed a few books by Sarah Addison Allen recently. Sugar Queen and Garden Spells were pretty cute. I do enjoy Clive Cussler as well. Though with fall well under way I feel the need to break out my Anne of Green Gables series again. Those ones never get old.

I'm currently Joseph Finder's novel Buried Secrets. Extremely good read!

I also like some of the series, for children or young adults. However, I just finished reading a Dean Koontz novel (77 Shadow Street) and next in line, is Stephen King's 11/22/63.
