I love Elin Hilderbrand! Her books have so many real life issues.

If you have a Kindle and you're looking for free books check out BookRooster.com. They will send you a book to review. If you choose to read it, they will email it to you and you can send it to your Kindle. The reviews are only 100 words.

I have just finished a series of books by Jo Nesbo who is a Scandinavian writer, they are about a maverick police detective and are really good.

I was given a Kindle Fire for Christmas. It is so wonderful in my opinion!

Anyway, I have downloaded so many books from Pixel of Ink that I had never heard of. I have enjoyed every one of them so far; this has opened up a whole new world of reading rather than sticking to the same authors!

Anyway, it is a good read.

I love Jeffery Archer's stuff!!!
