Books
 

What is everybody reading? Before I lost all of my e-mails and had to get a new address I had a daily post
on free books from amazon. Now I can't find the link from amazon It was something like Pick and Pretzels LOL

well, I still read paper books (not giving them out free on Amazon as far as I know!) - just finished "Peacock Spring" by Rumer Godden. I generally like her books.

Are you talking about free books on Kindle?

Right now I am engrossed in John Grisham. I just finished " The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. Our library just had a book sale and I picked up several different authors.

I just finished reading Miss Julia to the Rescue by Ann B. Ross. Now reading The Natural History of the Piano by Stuart Isacoff.

A great free site is Pixelofink.com. I have about 50 downloaded on my Kindle. They send you a list of 5-10 free books by email everyday.

I just read all 3 volumns of "50 shades of grey"

good story, had some steamy parts that I kind of just skimmed over.

I just read The Leopard and Bleed For Me--from the library. I reas so much I can't afford to buy them all.

i am currently reading a Swash-buckling Pirate tale from Michael Crichton called Pirate Latiitudes...just finished reading--Make money quilting by Sylvia Ann Landman, before that one i read an Odd Thomas tale from Dean Koontz---i'm all over the place with my reading! :)

Google Pixel of Ink. They send me a daily email with free books for the kindles.

Yeah new authors
 

I am just finishing Backon Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber. The Curves that I am a member has a book exchange... I always look for new authors... love seeing what everyone's picks. Will be checking out some more new authors to me... Also have a Mary Higgins Clark on the top of the stack...you can not go wrong with Mary

Judy in Phx, AZ

I hear about that series ALL the time anymore. Was it good?

I'm reading Drift by Rachel Maddow. I've really been in the mood to read a really good book (fiction).

Anyone know of free books for the Nook? I just finished listening to Jeffery Archer's "The Sins of the Father" (second in a series) I didn't read the first book, didn't know about it, and this book ended with a cliff-hanger, to be continued in the next book.....I then discovered it won't be released until 2013.....sigh...why did I get so involved???? Anyway, it is a good read.

Nook free books
 

BN has a section for free books on the Nook along with Free Fridays. Free Fridays are hit or miss as to good books, but I have gotten quite a few. You can borrow books from your Nook friends too for free.
I am reading the Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn. It is very good!

Kristen Hannah is also very good, anything by Jodi Piccoult, Lee Childs, or James Patterson. I'm currently reading a new author to me - The Island, by Elin Hilderbrand.

I live in a small town. (pop is 450.) We have a free lending library run by 4 volunteers. It is only open two days a week, but we have 2 1/2 walls of bookcases. Right now I am reading a lot of "who dunnit's" I usually have about 5 or 6 books going home with me on the days I am there working. smile

i read the first one and hated it! hated the writing thought it was a bunch of cut and paste LOL. i did just read a parady of the shades of grey,,,,it was funny!

Am currently reading The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani and it promises to be very good. Just finished Falling Home by Karen White which I enjoyed. Happy reading. Quilting and reading - what would we do without our favorite
pasttimes???? I go to the library and check out the new books.

Try [email protected]
I have 350 down loaded. They send you a list every day of free books.

I want to thank everybody who posted. Pixel of ink is what I was looking for and also names of books everybody is
reading. I am always looking for good books to read and like hearing from others about good books. thanks again

I like mysteries and historical fiction. Purchased a Kindle awhile back thinking it would save me trips to the library..but not so...the authors I like to read are not freebies from amazon-or available as ereaders from library, so i still order and pick up "real" books from my library.....I am told a lot of the larger publishers are not keen on offering ebooks for "just to be read" as the $$$ is not there..and I guess libraries have to pay some source to have ebooks available and a lot of them are not ready or due to budget able to pay....so library, library sales, garage, estate sales are great...we also have a used book store in our "little" town and can exchange books there at very reasonable prices...or no cost if exchange works out.....funnnnnnnn

Me too. Talk about steamy! Whew!

So true.
I bought a Kindle thinking it would save money, not so, the books are just as much or more than printed books.
When I lived in the city there were many used book stores to shop at.
Now Im in the country so bought a Kindle, my mistake. It is cheaper to just order books from Amazon where you can get used books cheap.

I am wondering if Nook and Kindle are compatible - can you get a book that will go on either one? Or is it like VHS and Betamax?

Nivosum, if you like the Miss Julia books, you might want to check out the Miss Read series which takes one back to a gentler time (at least the swear words and blatant sex scenes aren't there). I am reading Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy (about the shooting in the Amish school) and for fun, just finished two of Sherryl Woods books. I like Picoult's early books, and Nicolas Sparks, and anything that is not too deep. I won't read Sophie Kinsella too many swear words.

I like V.C. Andrews books. Check em out at library sometimes.

I'll be signing up for the ARK (adults reading kids books) program at our library soon. Right now I'm readingThe seeing Stone by Kevin Crossley Holland. It's the first of three in the series about King Arthur. I love historical fiction and even though this is a YA book it"s a good read.

I read Roberts/Robb, Krentz/Castle/Quick. Howard, Garwood, Feehan, Sands-mainly. I like a variety of books and stories. Mysteries, Paranormal, Cops and bad guys-I love the kindle as it saves packing space when traveling and weight!! I keep my favourites on it. I also buy the hardcopies of some books but am moving more to the kindle. I have 4 walls-10 feet by 8 foot high of books. Need to thin these out as now that I quilt I won't be rereading a lot of them.

I love to read!!

Good thread! Thanks for the free book web sites. You don't have to buy books - ask your local library if they have ebooks, and learn how to download. I borrow ebooks from both my AZ and CT libraries. I'm taking my Kindle on my 3 week trip to Turkey, and it'll be loaded with free books!

I like to read Amish books.

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!

I love Jeffery Archer's stuff!!!

Reading: Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years by Carl Sandburg. Before that: Mother Cary's Chickens by Kate Wiggins.

I want to thank everybody who posted a reply Pixel of Ink is what I wanted and Ideas on good books to read.
I will be busy reading the books that was suggested here. thanks again

I listen to Audio Books. Am listening to "Ahab's Wife" by Sena Jeter Naslund. I bought it at the library for 50 cents. Was the best 50 cents I ever spent. The book is on tapes - 40 of them!!!! I am on 16. Good story!!!!! I love the Mass. accent!!!!! I like to listen while I am sewing! Takes me into a whole new world. Edie

yes..I liked it alot..it was a page turner....it was a quick read...nothing that you really had to think about.
