Kriselle Jhean | 3 comments 1. To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee
2. Catcher in the rye by J.D Salinger
3. The little prince by Antoine Saint de Exupery
4. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
5. ANYTHING by Malcolm Gladwell

Frankly, it is expensive to buy their ebook versions individually especially since they are timeless bestsellers. Good thing some sites offer them for free downloads. (You just have to be good in GOOGLING. Hehehe!) I found them here: http://ebookbundles.info/


message 2461: by Marian (new)

Marian I am also reading The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware and its caught my attention,thats for sure:)

Michele Paynter | 17 comments I am totally engrossed in OBC's book selection, " LOVE WARRIOR". I am finding the book highly insightful, funny, and very relatable. I find myself revisiting the tapes I grew up with as a girl child. I was happy to find that, yet another woman ( Glennon) who had similar socialization. I have found this book wonderfully validating as a woman!

Britany | 930 comments Finished Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly by Martha Hall Kelly-- 5 Stars.

Fell in love with this Holocaust historical fiction book. I loved the three parallel storylines and at times had to put this down because I was horrified with the content.

Ashbeelia I'm reading Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho "Veronica Decides to Die" by "Paulo Coelho". Really I love it and I think the English version much easier than the Arabic one, although the Arabic is my mother language !

message 2467: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) I'm so unsure what to read next! I am behind on my buddy reads and I feel overwhelmed just trying to choose. LOL

I am, however, starting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7) by J.K. Rowling in audio version. I can listen while I make dinner and drive wherever. That's the only way I get my audio books done. LOL

Lisa Antley | 1 comments I'm currently reading The Quest for Screen Time and A Time to Praise: A Christmas Anthology. Both are good reads. :)


message 2472: by John (new)

John Amodeo | 6 comments 'The Sharecropper's Son' by John V. Amodeo. Fictional history account of a young WWI draftee, James Hayes, from the Mississippi Delta who ends up on the Western Front in France during the height of the Argonne Offensive in 1918. He travels to Paris and becomes an instant celebrity when asked to sing at a local bistro. Tragic circumstances ensue when called back to his dying father. In this tale of hope and perseverance, the journey of James Hayes is a story that will resonate with history lovers. It is a story not only of hope and overcoming life's ultimate challenges but also a journey of a young man who found himself and, in turn, changed so many others.

Diana E. | 4 comments The Beech Tree by Don Phelan The Beech Tree

From the Freedom Rides to atrocities of Viet Nam POW camps, The Beech Tree weaves a compelling tale of love, loss and redemption. Tissues required. I would love to see this book as a movie.


message 2488: by May (new)

May (mayzie) | 589 comments Oh, Diane... I think I have just added this to my TR list!!

Dave B. | 8 comments May wrote: "Oh, Diane... I think I have just added this to my TR list!!"

Definitely! Great book. I thought it was going to be a "summer romance" type book when my wife handed it to me after she'd read it. It's a very powerful read. There are lighthearted moments that make you laugh but just as many that will bring you to tears. The Beech Tree

message 2493: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 23 comments I am currently reading Policed by Alana Terry, after reading Unplanned and Paralyzed in the same series. I have enjoyed all the books by Alana Terry. This writer has also done another series with Beloved Daughter, Flower Swallows, Slave Again and Torn Asunder. I have read all of these this year and enjoyed them.

Charlene Carr also has a A New Start Series of Women's fiction Skinny Me, Where There is Life, By What We Love, Forever in My Heart, Whispers of Hope, and Before I Knew You. She also has a single called Beneath the Silence which is quite unique. All enjoyable fiction books which I read in the past year or two.

The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill is an amazing read - fiction but with a lot of true historical fact, as well.

I also enjoyed The Secret Daughter by Kelly Rimmer and She Can't Hide by Melinda Leigh.

I have read over 65 books so far this year and if I can remember the names, I consider them good books. :). There are a lot of writers which I like and have known for years like Mary Higgins Clark, Catherine Cookson and Maeve Binchy, but I have been just thinking of some of the newer ones as I have been trying to get to know more writers.

Maggie | 1 comments Hi all! My name is Maggie and I love reading just about anything. I'm currently finishing the Cormoran Strike mystery series by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym for J.K. Rowling).

message 2499: by majda (new)

majda (majdareads) | 15 comments The Rose Society by Marie Lu. Dark, twisted and has me begging for more. Lu really took a turn in her writing with the young elites series. Compared to Legend, this is completely different.
