What should you read next?

You've finally finished reading The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent and are now at a loss as to what to read next. www.bookseer.com to the rescue! Just type in the title of the book and you get a list of comparable reads. Sort of like "If you love Giorgio, you'll love ..." Do you remember those perfumes?

Free book

The Crown Publishing company is offering one free book to those who request it. This is part of their Read It Forward program. Go here: read-it-forward.crownpublishing.com/ There are three choices. I chose The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I'd love to trade for one of the others after I finish reading that one!
