Carol,
Would love to add you to my list of reviewers. I'll gift you the ebook today.

Kelly,
I'd be glad to add you to my list of readers. Kindly share your email address and I'll gift you the ebook today.

Thank you so much, I just figured out how to read it without a kindle I just log in to my Amazon account and read it from the Kindle Cloud? Which is awesome. I will be reading it soon trying to get the book I am currently reading done so I can watch the movie which is out on Netflix and Hulu. And trying to finish another book to help with my reading challenge. I recieved it so started to skim read a bit. I soon will be immersed in it.

Kelly,
You can also download the FREE Kindle app to your smart phone, tablet or laptop! Happy reading!


"Every day I meet new friends on Goodreads and it is very important to me to let you guys know when my books are offered for free.
This time I offer you my VERY FIRST book. This book is very dear to me not only since it began a beautiful journey of writing but because it deals with a very painful issue - BULLYING.
Those of you, who have read all of my books probably know that I write about things that bother me the most and that are dear to my heart. It is important for me to deliver the message but I need your help to spread the word so that maybe together we can make a change and stop the endless pain.
We're all aware of the damaging effect of bullying especially on kids. I suffered from bullying myself and I wrote a sweet story so I could handle the bitter one.
Today I present it to you as a gift and my only request is - pass it on to another child, parent or a friend.
Enjoy your reading, Talia"

I am currently reading Jane Austen's novel 'Sense And Sensibility'.


Narrated by the author (Awesome!) but didn't connect to this one as much as I'd hoped.

Currently reading 'The Lowland' by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Awaken: Your Ultimate Spiritual Journey

I will definitely read more by this author.


Lots of good discussion, but ultimately left unfulfilled.

Quite hilarious so far, I am really enjoying it. It does get a bit technical (even being a chemist I'm lost at times) but I like it a lot.

Currently reading To The Lighthouse by Virginia Wolf, brilliant brilliant piece of work
...and Lee Child's Killing Floor. I'm fan of Jack Reacher and have read others in the series and thought to finally get to the first book and discover how it all started. I'm not sure what others think, but Reacher, to me, is hilarious.....

I found Virginia Wolf's writing a little abstract. Her language is also a little difficult to decipher !

I just finished reading 'The Lowland' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Simple language !

Yes, I've heard Lahiri's work is pretty good, yet to read her though. I agree on the language issue with VW, its mainly her technique called Stream of consciousness, isn't? But I like it since it got me to slow down my reading and absorb. And somehow i relate to that form of writing, jumping from one thought to another with no connectivity or to the next character without a clear connection. its strange, I'm loving that somehow.

Since its my step daughter book I discussed it with her and said this book is really good, but I was shocked how it went to the two characters falling in love and having a wonderful weekend, to they got married. There are parts missing from the story. They have two daughters the guy could have been a better husband and all that. That was a shock. Her answer was Mom, you have to watch the movie, it fill in the blanks of the book. LOL


I started listening to Salt: A World History last night, and I found this non-fiction book very interesting as well. I didn't know Salt played such an important role in the world of commerce and they used to Tax on Salt as well. I am five chapter in, and can't wait to listen to more.

Going to start How to Be an American Housewife - staying in a somewhat similar vein.
Also listening to How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World.
