Title: Anybody read any good books lately?
Post by: braggin on July 12, 2014, 07:22:15 am

Have you read a book this summer that you thought was really really good? I just finished Elizabeth Gilbert's new book The Signature Of All Things and enjoyed it very much. Gilbert was also the author of EAT,PRAY, LOVE which was popular years ago.

I read Christian fiction authors.
There is adventure and it's usually a family story.

I highly recommend a book titled "What does the bible really teach?""

In such a dark world where hope seems like it might not exist,it explains what the TRUE Gods purposes were for mankind and what HE will do about it.As well as teach us how to live a better life NOW!!!

Hi,

There are a couple of nonfiction books that are really good that I read lately. They are:

1. Clark Howard's Living Large for the Long Haul: Consumer-Tested Ways to Overhaul Your Finances, Increase Your Savings, and Get Your Life Back on Track

2. Bargain Junkie, Publisher : Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, Author : Korzen, Annie

Both books are regarding personal finances but give completely different advice from different angles. I found them to be helpful in my personal homelife as a homemaker.

I love John Grisham books!  I've read all he's ever written.  He's got a new one coming out October 21st and I've already written it on my calendar to get out first thing that am to go get it.  He's written quite a few books that were made into movies and I enjoyed the movies too.  A Time to Kill, The Client, and The Chamber are a few of the movies based on his books.  Very enjoyable reading and watching!

Quiet by Susan Cain (The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking.) It is a very good book and very interesting. Our local librarian gave me this book. Very nice lady.  :present: :) :present:

Just got done reading "Discord's Apple", written by Carrie Vaughn. It had an absolute perfect blend of mystery and magic with a lot of subplots to add to the suspense. She made her characters seem so real, too.  :thumbsup:
