FIND YOUR NEXT FICTION BOOK TO READ HERE!

I am a picky reader. My time is valuable to me and I cannot stand to waste it on a really terrible read.

I am always searching for new authors . I have included information about some of the best "Social Reading" sites I have come across and use.

I really cannot read badly written fiction. Once, when I was a teen, I was desperate for a book to read during the summer. I went to my mom's bookshelf to find something. She always had several books "going" and I just knew I would find something. I picked up one of her "romance" books (she read EVERYTHING) and a copy of East of Eden. I cannot even remember the name of the "bodice ripper", but it was horrible (I thought!) Then I began the Steinbeck book. I loved it! Because I found it next to the other book, I thought I was reading a "nasty" book. I was sneaking around reading it in secret--it was a page turner for me. Imagine my surprise when I discovered much later in my life, that that novel is an American Classic.

I have created lenses where I review books I have read and I attempt to tell you in honest terms about them. There are links to those pages below.

Keep reading further down the page and maybe you will find an interesting book, book site or blog that will help you find some wonderful fiction to read!

Thanks for visiting. Remember to leave a comment.
