However, the Kindle has certainly been exposing me to a LOT more indie authors just in the past month ... authors I would not have found otherwise. I find I rely a lot on recomendations here as well. Most of my prior 'experimental' reading has been limited to what is available at my library and for the most part 'experimental' isn't in their vocabulary.
Welcome to the group BTW ...

Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I am totally jazzed at all the free classics/older books available. "I'm still working through the 'free book' lists myself. Just recently found the Louisa May Alcott books and reread those. Enjoyed them very much as a child ... also The Secret Garden, which I remembered but had never found to re-read again.
That was one of my very favorites and after re-reading it, I now understand why I loved the gothic mystery/romances during my teen/20s years. The Secret Garden is ... to my mind at least ... a classic child's version of a gothic mystery.
I think I enjoyed it more re-reading it as an adult than I did even when I was a child.

I feel this way, too.

Your Welcome, Hugh.Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving!Our morning started off with the gathering of the family at Denny's...now that is a high classed tradition, but people are already doing enough cooking for on day lol.
You all be safe and don't eat too much.

On the rare occasions when we have family for holiday dinners, it has become 'traditional' to go to the Chinese buffet in the closest small town ... for years it was the only restaurant open!This year we're helping build a wire turnout for an elderly neighbor with two toy poodles. Her neighbor has two big dogs that run loose (we're out in the country) and one broke through the chicken wire run she had up for them and tried to drag one of them off. She doesn't have close family to help, is in poor health so my husband and the part time hired man and his teenage son are taking today to build a secure run with heavy wire.
That's a GREAT way to spend Thanksgiving, Sharon!

And in the meantime, so we don't feel deprived, I have a pan of homemade sourdough cinnamon rolls raising for a late dinner treat.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My daughter and I have followed the traditional putting of the turkey breast in the oven...and of course, the worming of the cats. (maybe that should be "wormin' O' the cats"?)
Ahhh, family traditions.
Thanks for sharing your family traditions. Enjoyed reading them. : )gobble gobble!
