I remember a time when I would pick up a book, and get so engrossed in it that I could barely put it down. And when I found an author that I loved, I absolutely HAD to go out and get as many of their books as I could find. My favorite places to get books were the second hand book stores. I would spend literally hours in them. Of course now, things are a lot easier, and less expensive. You can easily just go online, find an author or book that you are interested in, and download what you want to read, and it is way cheaper than actually buying the hard copy of the book, and saves space as well. I know that through the years I have taken up so much space in our home with books I have already read, though there are those all time favorites that you want to have the hard copy of, just like certain books that were my children's that I have saved to pass onto their children.
So, if you are looking for some new books to read, or interested in checking out some different authors, you need to look through this awesome list!
