Yes, my hubby got it for me about eight months ago and I have become an avid reader ever since.  I love the Kindle.

You might enjoy this one, Kelli.  Do you have a Kindle?

I always like the nonfiction stories where people triumph over adversity and live to tell about it.  Just love that stuff.  In search of my next good book if anyone has any suggestions for nonfiction books.

I'm reading a book on my Kindle that I found for free on Amazon a while back.  It's a nice read.  It's called Fire Dance, by Delle Jacobs.  I'd definitely look for more of her books.  It's a historical romance, but so far more sweet romance and lots of history.  The characters are well written and interesting.  There's a bit of a mystery to it, involving the main female character, and although I'm halfway through the book, I still haven't quite figured it out.  It makes the reading enjoyable!

I loved The Good Thief.  I should check to see what else that author has written.

I really would love to see the movie. I've moved on to the good thief. By Hannah tinti. Good one so far

Did you also see the movie.  One of the few books to movies where I thought the movie was better than the book, mainly due to the caliber of actors.  And I really liked the book!

I read The Help on Tuesday, the day I flew back from D.C. to San Francisco.  This book is a must-read, difficult as it is.  We need to not forget that there was a time in our history when there was such gross inequality woven into the culture.  Class and gender inequalities hurt everyone, including those who are supposedly on top.  Didn't seem to me like any of the characters in that book were very happy.

I just finished A Discovery of Witches.  It's the author's first book and I guess is part of a trilogy.  I really enjoyed it.  If you liked The Golden Compass, you would like ADoW.

zI'm reading Unbroken, a true story about resilience, by Hillebrand. Great read so far. I finished the Help it was sooo good I couldn't put it down.
