A Vishous Fan- How was Emerald Green? I saw it free on Kindle today, but the cover just looked so cheesy I couldn't do it. Lol. Actually I see abunch on here that are free on Kindle. Is it safe to say someone has a Kindle?? :)

[A_Vishous_Fan]

I also got it on kindle. The book was alright and it's
more towards erotica romance. It was an easy and fast read. Out of the 44 books I have their only 10 are bought. I could never aford so many books. With out the kindle I would have never branch out. So it's a really good thing I have a kindle.

[Rachel]

Thanks. I might have to download it anyways. It's free, why not right?

I love my Kindle. It also causes me to branch out a bit. I cannot afford tons of books either. I wish I could though!

[A_Vishous_Fan]

Rachel (or anybody that has a kindle)if you go to Top 100 Free
at Amazon you'll find tons of free e-books of all
kinds of genres, I spend almost the whole morning dowloading books.
Have fun.

Wow, congratulations Lisa! Great job on reaching 100 before the end of May!

[Rachel]

I hope to grow up and be just like you, Lisa! :) Congrats!

[Lisa Kay]

Thanks, Sans & Rachel! LOL! I was in a dither about what to choose for #100 - then discovered that I forgot to mark one in January as read. So that makes The Unsung Hero, which fell into the slot, sort of apropos!

See you in Level II!

WTG Jennifer!

[Jennifer N.]

Thanks!

[Becky]

Dear Avid Readers: Help me please! I'm trying to remember a book my club read many years ago. I'm remembering it as "Resurrection." It was a story first told from the Father's perspective, and the second half of the book was from the Son's viewpoint. The book divided our group in half whether we identified more with the Father or Son. I CAN'T FIND IT. Can anyone help ... please?

I loved it, I read it a long time ago for school, but really wasn't educated enough to get it, so I thought it would be a good read. As a matter of fact, I just decided to start hitting the classic section of the library and catching up on those for awhile.
