Currently Reading and Recommendations
I'm currently reading Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan, and I have to say it is not what I expected it to be; in a good way of coarse! The writing style takes a little getting used to, but after awhile it's quite an awesome read.
I'm currently reading Erebos for school and although the general plot is interesting it's not a recommend.
I've also started reading City of Bones after a lot of whining from my friend (she want me to be able to join her for the cinema later this year) I haven't regretted it.

FinishedRules of Attraction the romance is good but its kinda similar to the first one Perfect Chemistry
Okay so I currently have like 12 books started but the one I currently carry with me for when I have free time is
and at home I am working on
. One is about vampires, psychics and were people and the other is about fallen angels. I never realized how those are on opposite sides of the spectrum until I wrote it out like that.Anyways, for the most part I spend my time reading my college textbooks. I can't wait for May 13th to get some reading done at last.
What would be the best feature of Lord of the Rings that I should look forward in reading it?{because I don't want to end up reading long thick worthless books, though I know it received very good reviews. (..)}
Anyway, i wanna ask a question.. where could i read online ebook for free?

I am reading:
Not super thrilled. But if you're looking for a possible freebie and like romance with a lot of humor, check out Ellyn Oaksmith Books - Facebook for my Giveway. Ends April 12th. Giving away 3 e-books. Good luck and happy Spring!https://www.facebook.com/EllynOaksmith
I'm just starting snow flower and the secret fan by Lisa see. I loved the last two books I read by her, hopefully this one is good too!
I'm just starting Lionel Shriver's 'New Republic', after finishing R.J.Palacio's excellent ' Wonder'.

If you're using an app, there may also be a an "eBooks" icon on the home page, you can browse free books and read from there too.

It was very good, I think the last one was the best but you have to read them all to get there. The first one was a little tough to get into but don't give up on it. Really is a worth while series. I hope you enjoy it
I am about to begin The Frog Prince by Elle Lothlorien...anyone read this?
I'm starting Legend. I've heard it's is really good. Guess we'll see, but I recommend reading Grave Mercy. I finished it awhile ago and the next book is out now.

If you could only choose ONE of these books to read, which would it be? 
Feel free to say why you chose it, but NO spoilers please!! I haven't read any of them and I'm choosing my next eRead. :)
Thank you!!

Will do! I recommend reading City of Bones, though. It was awesome! Doesn't hurt that the movie is coming out in August either

That's one of the reasons that I want to read that one! Thanks for the recommendation. :)
Just finished "Hidden Places" by Lynn Austin. LOVED it!! Lots of twists, turns, and surprises. Set in during the Great Depression, I don't usually purchase historcical novels but this is excellent. Beautiful, realistic storyline that portrays strong family ties. Best novel I've read in years. Love the way she worked in backstory as story in a story chapters.Now reading "Beneath a Summer Sky" by Deborah Raney, "The Story Teller by Jodi Picoult, and "Candle in the Darkness" also by Lynn Austin
Please don't get irritated I always read 4 or 5 fictions and 3 or 4 non-fictions at a time. It's how I roll.

I saw the movie "Perfume" and it was very interesting. I didn't know it was a book!
Bridgette wrote: "Just finished Thirteen Reasons Why"I absolutely loved that book!
Ana wrote: "I just started Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I'm currently focused on reading some of the classics."Have you ever read "Little Men" by Louisa May Alcott? It's been years, but it's a sequel to "Little Women" about Jo and her boys' school that she starts with her husband.
Kyle wrote: "I'm re-reading A Series of Unfortunate events... if you haven't read it as a child you should definitely check it out! Lemony Snicket's awesome."Love love love love!!
If you haven't read "The Book Thief" I highly recommend it. Very well written with an amazingly original narrative voice.
I am reading City of Ashesand I can't put it down. I'm amazed by how addicting Cassandra Clare's storytelling is!

Only some of the books have links (very few). There are even more that have excerpts posted.
I don't know what type of books you like to read. Right now these have "read book" links, if you want to check them out and least see how the links work:
Also, there is a book called Lydia by Brian Willson, but I couldn't find the link.

I see, anyway thank you very much, maybe i'll try to look for the books i want at bookstore.
Sorry we couldn't be more help. If you have an eReader, you can usually find free books on those.
No, its okay. In my country, there is not many English-language novels here, so its kinda hard to buy a novel i want to buy.

Most of the novels are classical? Thankyou, i'll try it!
Just finished reading the kingkiller chronicles, one of the best books l have ever read coming from a critic like me. Dreaming for the third book
Winter of the World and Fall of Giants (first two of the trilogy) by Ken Follet are excellent and historical! Also, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is lovely.
I am reading the third book in the beautiful creatures series, beautiful chaos. I liked the first two in the series, but am having a hard time with this one. I am also reading the other Boleyn girl and loving it.
I just finished reading Prodigy by Marie Lu. And wow, it was fantastic. An action-packed sequel to Legend, and in my opinion, a much better read. Lu has improved her writing skill by so much; polished characters and their relationships, perfected the world inside the pages, and even adds a bit of humor here and there. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves some good YA dystopia.
I am currently reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and I am enjoying it! I haven't been able to put it down.
This weekend - at last - found time to read 'Thirteen reasons why?' I loved this book. It also made me think how we treat people and what could happen because of our input direct or not. Next on the list is 'Cinder'
I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities... Workin on the classics I should've read in high school.
Finally finished Divergent this weekend and really liked it a lot. Now I'm working on several different books: Scarlet, A Discovery of Witches, Eleventh Elementum, and just started Graceling. So far, I like them all.

I only started to read the books because the movie of the first book was released. I have a thing that I want to read the book before I see the movie. I didn't know what I was in for when I started BUT WOW!!!! I loved each one. The third one took some time to really get into but once I did...wow. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Currently I am reading The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back by Sariah Wilson. It is okay. I wanted to give my mind a break from my usual vampire, witches and other fantasy readings.
