Good Read

I just finished reading "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen.

The Kindle edition was $4.19.

It was a quick read.  A good story.

I recommend it to anyone.









I have also read Jean Auel's new book "Land of the Painted Caves " this month.  I enjoyed her earlier books more than this one.  It seemed very repetitious and lacked an interesting plot line.

I feel like the $12.00 I spent for the Kindle edition was a waste of money.

I use the Kindle Application on my MacBook Pro, but we also have a Kindle. I have gotten several free Kindle books,  and  e-books from the library.

Have you read any books that you really enjoyed lately?
 Any Recommendations?

    If you haven't read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, I highly recommend that. A couple of the middle books in the series get a little bogged down with historical details, but the story is worth it! I think they are my favorite historical fiction books ever. :)

    I used to read a lot. Now my mind can't keep still for more than a magazine. I know once we full time it, I will relish reading good novels again :)

    I enjoy historical fiction books. I just finished one called Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah about the siege of Leningrad. I really enjoyed it!

    "Elephants" was on of the first downloads to my Kindle, and I loved it, too.

    I read a lot of books but most of them are plain old mystery type novels with no real message or moral.

    Hi Merikay. I keep a blog of my book reviews, and though I am behind (I have two reviews to write at the moment) it's not that far out of date. If you're curious, take a peek: http://jrpbookreviews.blogspot.com/

    I liked WFE too. Disappointing to hear Auel's newest book was not up to par. May wait for the library copy in that case.

    JeffP--thanks for the reading blog tip. Always looking for good books. Will have to see if our tastes match--our sci fi series sure does!
