eReaderIQ.com | The Easier, Faster, Smarter Way to Kindle!

New books that need reviews, new authors, oldies but goodies. Every thing from soup to nuts... Yep.... Cookbooks too!

Thanks for the tip Angie! I signed up!

Last two books I have read were by Erik Larson, who is simply a fantastic writer.

He actually writes history with concentration of particular events with great detail. Last book was "Thunderstruck" where he tells two stories and finds a way to intertwine them...1st the story of Marconi's invention of the wireless which is woven with one of the biggest murder mysteries in England of that era.

The first was also by Larson..."The Devil in the White City"...again, with great detail he intertwines the story of the making of the Chicago Worlds Fair, with that of a serial killer on the loose in Chicago at the same time.

Great detail.....and a great sense of the culture of the time.

Currently about half done with "Steve Jobs"

trilogy
 

Currently on Book #3 of The Hunger Games...riveting...movie comes out next month.

Here's another vote for "The Hunger Games" trilogy. I put off reading them for months because I thought, based on the subject matter, that I wouldn't like them. I was wrong!! It's a facinating concept and there is a great parallel between the state in which the main characters were left at the end of the books, and our returning war veterans.

I have "The Help" on audio book and have listened to it THREE times! It's great for a long car trip. It's done in different voices and greatly enhances the experience of the book, I think. Loved it.

Another vote for Sarah's Key. I felt like I was locked in the closet for the whole book, like I was holding my breath. Hurry up! Hurry up!.....I kept thinking.

I am also a lover of books by Sarah Addison. "Garden Spells", "The Sugar Queen" and a few others. There's a bit of fanciful magic in all of them and I loved all the characters. Easy reading. Good for a cruise.

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. Keep 'em coming!

The House at Sugar Beach
 

I just finished The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper.
The librarian at the Villages Belvedere library recommended it to me, and I must say it's not a book I would have chosen, but I'm so glad she did!

Did you know that in the early 1800s America founded a colony in West Africa? I didn't know this. The government gave free black descendants of slaves the option of returning to Africa. The first ship set sail for Africa in 1822, well before the beginning of the Civil War.

The book is both an autobiography of Helene Cooper, diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times, and a history lesson we never learned in school.
The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper - Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

PS: The book has both a map and a family tree. I needed the visual aids. :p

I think that's what became Liberia.

Coming Apart;; The state of white america 1960-2010 by charles murray

Suzanne Smartypants, you're right! :ho:

Book club here in Marietta, GA just finished Major Pettegrew's Last Stand, beautifully written but slow. Next on the list is Devil in the White City. I need to start it this week. I am typically reading historical or mysteries. It is fun to. Get suggestions from different sources and sure will be looking forward to abookclubonce we are frogs!!!!!

11/22/63
 

I just finished Stephen King's latest book - 11/22/63. It was a very interesting book and was a good read. Long - 800 plus pages but it did not bog down.

It was about someone going back in time and (based on the date I will let you figure it out).

I hate to give away story lines.

"What Does the Bible Really Teach" by Jehovah's Witnesses, a excellent book.

Harry Potter....
my favorite one...love it!

Listening to an audiobook of Killing Lincoln.
 

Never thought I would get into something written by Bill O'Reilly but am enjoying Killing Lincoln.

Have not got to any meaty conspiracy theories yet though in this book.

Someone recommended a book to me that only came out in Kindle and paperback.

Cannot remember the name of it nor the author. It is about a bunch of experimental animals which go berzerk and threaten to take over the world.

No, not the Republican party.

Anyone remember the name and author of this book?

I just got done with the Help and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I enjoyed both books. I am now reading The Girl Who Played with Fire. Continuation of 3 main characters of the Dragon Tattoo. I couldn't put the book down. I thought the Help was a bit long and couldn't wait to see the movie. I finally did and the book was better. I download all these books on to my Nook.

I want to send a big THANK YOU to Angie Fox for recommending eReaderIQ.com!

I have been downloading free ebooks every day for the past 2 weeks, and right now I'm reading Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise by Joyce Magnin. It's a 'beach read' about a widow who sells her home and buys a double-wide trailer in Paradise Trailer Park, sight unseen. Of course the trailer isn't the same trailer in the photo (The one she bought is a raccoon-infested dump), but she's making new friends & starting a women's softball team. Sometimes you need a fun book with no real literary asprirations, and so far this is it. (Oren's cataract surgery went fine, thank you very much, but I'm in charge of the eyedrop schedule, so I needed something to read that wouldn't matter if I were interrupted every few minutes -- or so it seems. This book is perfect for that!)

I also finished Kary Munger's Legwork [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Legwork-Casey-Jones-Mysteries-1/dp/0380791366/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332016941&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: Legwork (Casey Jones Mysteries #1) (9780380791361): Katy Munger: Books[/ame]

I can't wait to start Rashomon Gate [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Rashomon-Gate-I-J-Parker/dp/0143035606/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332017082&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: Rashomon Gate (9780143035602): I. J. Parker: Books[/ame]

These books were all FREE! I also have a new collection of Slow Cooker Recipes, thanks to eReaderIQ.com. And Angie, of course.

Thanks! :BigApplause:

Good to hear-- eReaderIQ.com | The Easier, Faster, Smarter Way to Kindle!

If I ever get a Kindle, I will look into this site.

Tal, I don't have a Kindle. I have a free Kindle app for my Chinese knock-off Samsung Galaxy tablet. I bought the tablet (It was $150) to see if I would actually use a Kindle or a 'real' tablet or an iPad. I also have the free Kindle app on my smartphone. Little did I know that you could read a book on a phone, but you really can -- if you don't mind turning pages frequently! ;)

I just checked on the book by Joyce Magnin and it is now $8.99. You did well to get it free. Enjoy your posts. Thanks.

Loving Frank
 

by Nancy Horan - really liking this, on page 162, trying to finish by tomorrow morning's book club. It's written from the perspective of Frank Lloyd Wright's mistress in the early 1900's, really good food for thought and should make a great book club discussion.

I have a Nook, and love it, sometimes get the free Friday books offered by B & N - the other free ones are mostly the ones published before 1923, some good classics available.

Can anyone who has had both Nook & Kindle comment on which they think is better, and why? Which has more free books available? I mostly download either free books or library books (from a library in Ohio right now), but have discovered that a lot of books are just not available as e-books. I tend to find a new-to-me author and then want to read all of their books.

I also have a stack of about 15 unread books I have picked up for next to nothing at garage sales - certainly not struggling to find things to read!

Thinking about getting a tablet - either the B & N tablet or the Kindle Fire, both as another reader for Ohioboy and a 2nd computer to take when traveling and also to have access to some of the neat apps that are out. I know we won't be able to share books between them, but as I understand it, with the Nook Simple Touch (which is only $79 bought on occasional specials), you can't share anyway, even with another Nook.

I'm trying to find out if I can download purchased books to my Macbook and then transfer to either a Nook or Kindle - anyone know that as well?

I have a Nook Color and Kindle Fire. I download books on both. Have a slight preference for the Kindle because I think more books are available. Also the Kindle Fire is less bulky when I'm travelling and on planes. For awhile I was downloading most of the Free Friday books and then they seemed to go the Vampire route. The Kindle Fire has some neat features including Pulse - trending updates. My mother has one of the early versions of the Kindle and is on my account so whatever I download goes to both devices.

What a good idea to share your account with your mother. I have an early Kindle and a Kindle Fire and when I want to share a book with a friend I just lend them one of the Kindles.

JoJo, I discovered that by accident. I saved the eReader daily emails until I had time to really investigate the books, and then they weren't free anymore. Now I make sure to check the list every day. :wave:

The Help
 

Downloaded The Help onto my Kindle. Read about 42 pages on the flight back to Chicago from Houston...love it so far. Wondering how different it will be than the movie.

Goodnight John-Boy
 

I've been on a Waltons kick for about 6 weeks now. This book is a nice companion to watching the show, synopsis of each episode and many background notes from the actors, writers, directors etc. Next up, Spencer's Mountain.

I fought temptation but finally downloaded Hungar Games. Havent sarted it yet.

I just finished reading Unbroken. It was very good and I would recommend if you like reading stuff about WWII. Presently I am reading The Five Families. Being of Sicilian decsent I thought I would read about some of the bad guys from Sicily.:popcorn:

I just finished reading Loving Frank and all I can say is WOW....I am still not sure how I feel about this book. Intriguing....but disturbing, overall worth the read, especially if you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan.

Ken Follett
 

"Fall of Giants" is incredible!!:pepper2:

We both read "Unbroken" on our kindles last year while in the Villages during November. It was a page turner, for sure. How stoic he was.

Who is the author of "The Five Families"???......or I can google it.

Presently, I'm reading: "Fallen Masters" by John Edward

What do you get if you combine William Young’s The Shack with Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons? The answer is Fallen Masters, by New York Times bestselling author John Edward.

In the near future, signs and portents have begun to appear that point to a rushing cataclysm. Both political and religious world leaders see the patterns, and the scientific community confirm evidence of what they call “a dark matter” that is expanding into our universe, threatening the very fabric of our world.

But it will not be governments or religions upon whose actions the fate of the world rests. Rather it will be up to a small diverse group of men and women who will have to decide to use their free will to aid in the last great cosmic battle between good and evil as these apocalyptic forces clash—both here on Earth and on the Other Side.

An internationally renowned psychic, John Edward has helped millions of people to connect with loved ones on the Other Side. In Fallen Masters, Edward has written a riveting novel of metaphysical suspense, a final confrontation between good and evil as it unfolds on both the Earthly plane and the Other Side.

Hyperlink above has "first chapter" plus other readers' opinions of book. It also is available in a hard cover version; besides the kindle e-book.

A Wanted Man by Lee Child.
 

I am reading Lee Child's A Wanted Man right now. Got about 100 pages into it. It's kind of slow for one of these Jack Reacher books.

As soon as I get back from B&N I'll be reading The Panther by Nelson DeMille and Elsewhere by Richard Russo.

Can't wait.

Just so you know, I have a Nook Simple touch and you can share Nook books with Nook friends. As far as transferring books, if they are in the Nook format, i.e. the book filename ends in .epub or .pdf, yes you'll be able to read them on the nook.

I just finished "The Language of Flowers" by Diffenbaugh. Our book club loved it and rated it very highly, as did I.

Funny,funny book!
 

I recently read Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson.
It is soooo funny! I have seen it at Barnes and Noble, but I got it from the
library in our town in Wisconsin. I had to be on a waiting list to get it. This
woman just looks at the world in a different way. I LOVED it!

It is soooooo funny! This woman just looks at the world in a whole

The Black House
 

Just finished The Black House by Peter May. He is a Scottish mystery writer. I enjoyed it. Does anyone have a nook who would be willing to lend books with me?

The Truth About Money 4th edition
 

I haven't started reading it yet, but it is due to be delivered today. I have listened to Ric Edleman's podcasts and am excited to read his book. It is all designed for me to get to TV as soon as possible!

I have a Nook Simple Touch but thought they told us at the training session at B & N that you could not share with a Simple Touch. At any rate, I read mostly ebooks from the library, and they disappear when due. I occasionally download the Free Friday book if it looks any good, and also some other free books.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn good so far but really looking forward To Gone Girl!
