When I come across a Kindle highlight, I always wonder how those happen........I assume that Kindle only shows us quotes which have been highlighted a certain number of times--so that I will see a passage that has been highlighted 28 or 378 times, but probably will never see one that has been highlighted only twice. Is that number the same for each book, or does each book have its own threshold? I would love to know more about how the algorithm works.
I've read seven. Would like to see The Visits by Craig Michael Smith on this list!
A very tastefully curated list. I enjoyed reading some of the highlighted passages.
I've read two .... (and three are on my TBR list)
Regasirea is a book that reminded me of the childhood spent in our dear city Pascani, a book that reflects real moments in life and in which each of those who read it can be easily found. I warmly recommend it to everyone. And I feel proud to be a countrywoman with Nicoleta Beraru, a internationally renowned writer.
Creeboy is good for reluctant readers in the junior high, high school range.
Can anyone tell me how to like or vote this list, I simply cannot find an option!
I can't like this list so I am commenting
