@Cindi Better World Books is another great used online book store. They donate books, too.

Thousands of great books, but for one to buy and keep, look for one with a gorgeous cover, like an MJ Rose book, I get most of my reading material from the library, but hers I like to buy. My current favorite book is Diane Chamberlain’s Dream Daughter

If you like books that you need tissues for, The Tatooist Of Auschwitz, Cracks In The Sidewalk, Before We Were Yours, yellow Crocus just to name a few. Some you can get from the library and save your money for others. Enjoy!

What genre do you love? Fancy reading about some wonderful US servicemen in WW2 (plus some great history and romance)? If so, try my book Tapestry of War?
