Post your favorite books.
I will start.
Ann Rule novels.
Any true crime mystery.
Historical books nonfiction.
-
I read a lot and I most often prefer the books to the movies. I have too many favorite authors to list, so I will start with Dean Koontz. I have been reading the Jane Hawk series and am currently reading the Night Window which is the 5th book in the series. I think Jane is the best character Dean Koontz has created to date.
-
I may be attracting much criticism here by my saying I like to read the Bible. I have read my share of books, but the Bible is said to be inspired of God. If so that makes it more noteworthy. I have read many versions of the Bible backwards and forwards trying to decide which translation is better. KJV is my choice. There I said it, so kill me.
-
You won't get any criticism from me, because I agree The Bible is a noteworthy book.I haven't read it as many times as you but I am currently on my 2nd reading. (Though on my first reading I did read KJV and NIV at the same time.) I am halfway through the book of Ezekiel and find it to be fascinating. But, then I have found all the prophetic books fascinating. Bible reading is how I start and end most days. I wish I had started reading it earlier...like in the days of my youth.
So, I will definitely not be casting any stones your way.
-
I do not read books anymore, my reading is online for the most part and I enjoy anything regarding US history, primarily start of 20th century to the modern day...

No attacks at all. If anyone attacks anyone for what they read than I will remove them. I have read the Bible many times.

I haven't read any of his so I may check those out next time I go to the library. I was reading a series by Fern Michael's Kentucky sunset, Kentucky Rich and Kentucky Heat. Also read Sara Gruen's books.

I read a lot of Harold Robbins back in the day, I have never read the bible nor do I plan to.

Misty, have you read Sherryl Woods'or Beverly Lewis books. Lewis writes a lot on Amish fiction.

For the past couple years I have been experimenting with Amazon's Kindal Reader. It takes getting used to and not like holding a book in your hand, but has great benefits of vast resources really cheap. I like that I can open Kindal on all my devices anywhere and immediately access my huge library in the palm of my hand anytime.

Yep, I have that on my phone and tablet. Have found a lot of good free books to read. I love the public library because the selection is great.

Hi Purplelady (thanks for making me feel welcome to post here) I am a book lover and I already enjoy this thread. It may take me awhile to get the hang out of how to post on this site. Anyway, I have read several of Ann Rule and Fern Michaels' books. I have not read any by Sherryl Woods or Beverly Lewis. I will keep them in mind as I am always open to a good book. lol
I started reading "A Time to Kill" by John Grisham. It is actually the first novel he wrote and was published in 1988. It was not really that long ago, but it is interesting to go back in time before technology took over. I am very much aware of the fact that nobody had cell phone and used VCRs. Then too, it has a very interesting plot.
-
I love the public library too and the bookmobile comes to my door every 2 weeks. I love bookmobile day. I tried to read on a Kindle, but I had to go back to books. One problem I had was not being able to settle on a selection. Just with Netflix, some days I spend the longest time trying to decide what to watch.

My husband and I were talking the other day and I said I miss the bookmobile coming in this town.
When I was a kid growing up, it came every 2 weeks and you could ask for books and they were brought to you. I love to read. I have a lot of books and I even read cookbooks. Lol.
I enjoy my Kindle or Amazon on my tablet but there is nothing like a real book.

Right! There is nothing like a real book. I also love the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and nothing else compares to the smell of opening a new box of crayons! My granddaughter loves drawing and coloring with me! Tomorrow is bookmobile day.

I love when it is back to school time and going to get school supplies even though my kids don't need crayons or some of the stuff, I love to look at it.
I should go to library today and stock up on a few things with all the suggestions that have been given.

I am reading 'The Next To Die' by Kevin O'Brien. I discovered him last year and have read almost all of his books. I love those "keep me awake all night" page turners!
-
I must confess I took a break from reading books... my brain needed a break. I read too many. My brain is in overload. I just read news now. Overload reading. Is the word read or read?

It is a good one! Hope you are having a good day. Are you busy getting ready for tomorrow? I know I won't have much time to read since I will be busy in the kitchen this evening. Busy reading cookbooks.

I will have to read that one.
Leslie Rule who is Ann Rule's daughter is coming out with one in 2020, it is a true crime mystery so I will be wanting to read it. Leslie often writes about paranormal and Angel's.

Our local library has a huge book sale in January and July. I go and try to pick up some good books. I bought one called Mamie's Love Letters from Ike. It looks like a good book about the Eisenhower's relationship.

I am going to start it next week after I get done with some things around here. I will let you know. I read a book by one of Ronald Reagan's secret service guys. It was called Riding with Reagan and he was one of the few who could ride horses and was chosen because of that. Another book was called Five Presidents about a secret service agent who had worked under 5 presidents. I love to read books on Ronald and Nancy Reagan.

Ok, the dictionary has alot of information I read on occasion. I always wanted to get a thesaurus, that would be a good book.
There's an old movie, about a law that makes people burn books. Cant think of the name at the moment. The main character, was trying to save the books.

Cow Tipping?
-
It just depends how big the heifers are

There’s a persistent rumor that the word “tip,” when used to refer to a gratuity, is an acronym for "To Insure Promptness,” "To Insure Performance,” or “To Insure Prompt Service.” This is false. Around the 1700s, “tip” was underworld jargon among petty criminals as a verb meaning “give” or “share.” It’s been in the mainstream, both as a verb and a noun, since the 18th century.
-
I dont have a problem tipping waitresses or waiters, and at least 20 percent, most of the time will give more.
But wont tip a uscanner, that should be outlawed.
