Book recommendation


Posted: Mar 25, 2013

I've gotten hooked on Kristin Hannah's books, especially Winter Garden and Home Front, but I'm afraid I'm running out on the ones available for ebook and audiobook. Any suggestions for similar authors?;

Does it have to be ebook/audiobook? - You can...

[ In Reply To ..]
Can I ask the sole importance of ebook or audio?

If you are open at all to paperback or hard cover, you can go on amazon.com and find them pretty cheap. They're used, but cheap works for me. There is usually a little blurb about the condition: Excellent, good, fair...

Yep! - Anon

When I want "real" books, I always get used books from Amazon, but I like ebooks because I can adjust the font size, and audio books because I can listen while doing something else or driving. I get them from the library for free.

Night Road - corgi

I like Kristin Hannah, too. I also like anything written by Susan Wiggs as well as Susan Elizabeth Phillips...also Jennifer Cruisie and Rachel Gibson. Hope these help you.

Thanks! - Anon

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out to see what's available. I really like Hannah, but when I read too many in a row they become predictable. I need a break!

Barbara Freethy - love her books! nm

The Shack -- I'm Almost All The Way Through This Book AndJul 14, 2010
was wondering if anyone else has read and what they thought.  Heresy or enlightening?  For a while now, I've been looking for a deeper, more personal relationship with God, but haven't been able to find it.  I hear testimony from fellow Christians about this wonderful relationship they have with God.  How they talk to Him and they can feel His presence and He responds maybe not verbally, but they "hear" Him.  So a friend, who isn't a churchgoer but spiri ...

A Book Every MT Should ReadJun 09, 2013
Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. Since so many of us, of course, can no longer afford to buy luxuries like books, it's worth mentioning that your public library almost certainly will have it (though there's likely to be a waiting list, even though it was first published in 2001). For those who persist in blaming others here on MTStars who are struggling with our new working-poor reality, saying that the problem is their "attitude," another Ehrenreich book, Bright-Sided, also w ...

Obama Has The Book Thrown At HimOct 11, 2010
This is the astonishing moment a book was apparently hurled at the head of President Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia. The flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday. It is not clear what the book was, where it came from in the crowd, or why it was thrown at Mr Obama - who did not appear to notice the danger. Duck, Mr President! A book narrowly misses Barack Obama's head after it is thrown on stage during a rally in Philadelphia today ...

I am not a goody two shoes or a puritan, but  a Barnes & Noble I was in this weekend has the new book "Go the F to Sleep" at the very bottom of the escalator on a shelf so that when children are leaving the upstairs children's section, it is at eye level for them to see. I glanced through the book, was completely disgusted by it, asked for a manager, made my complaint and handed him the 7 books in my arms to him and asked him to please re-shelve them as I would spend my money elsew ...

Book Review - Game ChangeFeb 10, 2010
Finally got my hands on a copy of Game Change. I am really enjoying the behind the scenes look at the last pres campaign.  All of the candidates are presented as real human beings - flaws and all.  Interesting look at conflict between Biden and Obama, the whole Edwards fiasco and Hill and Bill. And, if you are troubled by Palin's inadequacies now, you will not be comforted by reading this book.   ...

First Casey Anthony Book On The ShelfAug 01, 2011
