I just finished 9 Dragons and loved it.  Harry Bosch at his best.

It is always great to start off the month with a 5 star book, and this is a definite 5 star keeper.

I gave this 5 stars and wrote a small review for the book.

The Haircut, A New Year's Tale, by Donna Callea





Edited by Leslie to add Kindleboards link

This was a free book last month and I loved it. This is a perfect example of why free books work - I'd never heard of Deborah Smith before and now I can't wait to get some more of her books.

I just discovered by first time novelist, Dr. Dolen Perkins-Valdez on Oprah's "10 books to watch for" list http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/10-Books-to-Watch-For-in-February-2010.  It's the story of 4 slave women/masters' mistresses who meet while with their vacationing owners in the free North. It looks like it will be a great read, has terrific reviews - a good one especially if you've read & enjoyed Stocket's book, .  I just downloaded the Kindle version and look forward to the opportunity to read it!

I read this grea book now! Fantasy lovers, you can stop here. Especially if you love dragons, as I do!



This is a book written by an author from this board too

LOVED this book! Unfortunately it's not the easiest book to find, the kindle version is not available in the U.S. It's a historical romance set in Russia during WWII. It's the 1st in a series, the other 2 books are Tatiana and Alexander & The Summer Garden. I can't wait to read the 2 next books, I was able to located used versions & am desperately waiting to receive them!

"A Season in Hell" by Gwendolyn Noles. A very short but remarkably moving true story of the author's descent into drug addition and insanity, and a year in prison for armed robbery. Ms. Noles was a professional writer before her downfall, and her writing talent is obvious.

I finished this one today....  Absolutely loved it.

[lulucello]

I looked at that one (Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet) and just decided to try the sample.  Thanks for the feedback.

I just finished

and the sequel
Ordinary World (no link in linkmaker, found)

And think the first is absolutely good! Not that the second is bad, cause its not, but the first is pretty good.
Both $0.99

"The Time Cavern" by Todd Fonseca. First rate science fiction aimed at young adults, but I think most grown-ups would enjoy it too. I posted a 5-Star review today on Amazon.

[Silver]

I really enjoy YA books.  Got the first book for a buck...



Enjoyed it, so bought the next book...



I thought the second book was even better.  Only these two on Kindle so far.  More to come.

Try the Legend of Oescienne The Finding by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson! I loved it!

Wholeheartedly recommend THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett!

I ditto the recommendations for The Help!

I agree. This was one of the first books I read when I got my Kindle, and I was genuinely moved by it.

I second The Woman in White, but am linking to a version with a linked TOC. I read the Kindle freebie and while relatively error free, I would have really enjoyed easily navigating back to previous chapters/accounts. It definitely would have been worth the 99c. This is a surprisingly gripping page turner. Highly recommended!

I'm reading "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova.  It's a page turner, a very compelling, sad, funny, in-depth read about the effects of Alzheimers on a family.  Highly recommended...
