How good to see members adding to our library forum, to see seven members reviewing their favorite reads made my morning! Along with Shadows who has been adding reviews welcome to 59Chevymom, Sandram, elleLee, Nightbaker, Loveinretirement and ellie! Looking forward to more of your reviews as well as seeing more members join in. In time I will likely be reading a good many of the recommends!

Shadows any book that keeps you up reading all night sends me to Amazon reviews their ‘What a page turner! Compelling, chilling and incredibly impressive’ had me order Lis Hall's Between You and Me' unfortunately not available to my Cloud Reader. I checked out our Library, our e library and called our Bookstores in the city to no avail. Have an order in for the book which should be here at the end of the month. Have to hope it’s not small print!

If memory serves it was lovinretirment that has me see to daily choices at Bookbub which I truly look forward to each day. Along with great choices the prices are incredibility good! While I do have one lot of books waiting for me on my Cloud Reader those of us who read know one can never have too many books!

There are a good many wonderful recommends on the 2016 thread, if you missed it be sure to check it out. :)

TxChick, being an animal lover I too read "A dog's Purpose' and agree it's an excellent book. ellie, I'm sorry for your loss, having 'A Dog's Purpose' donated to your local library in your father's memory is an honor and must make for comforting memories for you.

Right now it's Dead Souls by Angela Marsons

A thriller with a shocking twist. The truth was dead and buried…until now. When a collection of human bones is unearthed during a routine archaeological dig, a Black Country field suddenly becomes a complex crime scene for Detective Kim Stone. As the bones are sorted, it becomes clear that the grave contains more than one victim. The bodies hint at unimaginable horror, bearing the markings of bullet holes and animal traps.

Welcome hungry_grl, love to see members sharing and reviewing. I know we have many members that love the thrillers and have many friends who do as well. Will be recommending Angela Marson's 'Dead Souls' Book 6 in the Dectective Kim Stone series to my friends to assure they haven't missed the Marson books.

Angels & Demons
I haven't started reading it yet so I can't give it any rating :?

The explosive Robert Langdon thriller from Dan Brown, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code and Inferno—now a major film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones.

Angels & Demons careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war. This is the book that started it all: we meet Robert Langdon for the first time, caught up in a race against time to find an apocalyptic time-bomb, planted by an ancient secret society that has surfaced to carry out its ultimate threat: to destroy the Vatican.

So happy to find this Forum :D

I have only started it and it's quite interesting, it's about Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease.
From the physician behind the wildly popular website NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death.
Just saved this book to my Amazon list, so glad you post it. I'm checking the website...love it.❤❤

Thanks for recommending this book, looks amazing. I'm buying it for my daughter right now...and then borrowing it from her ;)

Read both, Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. I thought they were both excellent.

I just finished reading "Maui Widow Waltz" by Joanne Basset...I was disappointed...I read another of her books that I really enjoyed, "Mai Tai Butterfly" (Happy fast read).
And now I'm reading "Natural Methods to prevent and treat Alzheimer's" by Alyson Rodgers, can't give an opinion yet.
