message 2251: by Emily (new)

Emily Y | 4 comments My friend told me about this little-known book, The Beech Tree so I bought it and read it. It is a self-published book but, in my view, some publisher missed a gem. Unlike many novels which take on social injustice, The Beech Tree does so within the storyline, weaving an uplifting messaged into a truly entertaining story. The book spans generations and the evolution of the characters as they experience life. The book has been voted No. 1 on Listopia's 2016's BEST SUMMER READS and No, 5 on 2016 MUST READS! In my view, it is a book everyone should read.

Jessie (thatchickwithabook) (thatchickwithabook) I'm a third of the way through We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Not sure if it's living up to the hype just yet, but with the short chapters, it's easy to read!

Britany | 930 comments Finished The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko by Scott Stambach by Scott Stambach- 3 Stars.

Deformed boy in a home for gravely ill children meets a beautiful girl with leukemia. So much STUFF, but ultimately just didn't love it.

Snigdha | 1 comments Hi! I love reading romance and erotic novels. I just finished Full Tilt by Emma Scott. Enjoy.


message 2290: by Michele (new)

Michele Paynter | 17 comments Hi Heather,
Having read and reread the book, HALF the SKY was such a phenomenal experience for me. My eyes became far more aware of the ill-treatment of women internationally. The book also highlighted the achievements that have been made regarding reproductive rights for women as well in health care issues. I became enraged, I smiled, I cried while reading this fine expose '! I agree with you; it's a MUST READ for everyone.

message 2296: by Talia (last edited Aug 26, 2016 03:01PM) (new)

Talia Talia (taletellertalia) Bullying is a very painful subject. Most people don't know how to address it, some rather ignore it but it's there and it's not going anywhere. I suffered from it as a kid and unfortunately as an adult as well. I guess some people are doomed to carry that scar until they decide to do something about it. Writing can be a helpful therapy and this is how "Kay Kay, my Superhero koala bear!" came to life. In honor of the new school year, kindle edition of this book will be offered for free from 8/28 till 9/1. I wish you all a productive year surrounded with good friends and lots of smiles.

Ann Greenfield | 8 comments Hi Angela, please excuse any oddness this is the first time I have done this, and I have brain cancer and forget words so please be kind. If you don't mind French history the Angelique books are very good, they made me quite a big fan of The Sun King and his brother.


message 2299: by Judith (new)

Judith Horton-holm (judiem) | 16 comments For Angela= One of the best books I have read is , "The Housemaids Daughter" by Barbara Mutch. Her next one coming out is-----"The Girl from Simon's Bay"----out in 2017. I can't wait! Another good one is---When Breath Becomes Air" by a young neurosurgeon. And then I heard "The Japanese Lover" is good from judiem
