Free Books Anyone?

I've recently come across some sites that offer free book downloads for your Kindle or e-reader. I have links to Facebook pages only, but I'm sure you do a search and find them on the web as well.


Enjoy!

Oprah's Book Club 2.0 and Summer Reading

Have you heard about Oprah's Book Club 2.0? I just ran across it the other day and thought some of you might be interested in her first book choice. It' is Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

I also saw that Oprah has put out a Summer Reading List if you're running low on things to read, haha!
