Black Friday Book Sale

Smiley

Like most other bookworms, great books make their way onto my "things I'm thankful for" list every year. It's hard to choose favorites, but I went ahead and picked five books I read in 2016 (but most of them are re-reads) and am thankful for.
  1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins  ~  It made me extremely thankful that I do not have to go through what the characters do.  It's a very good book to read on Thanksgiving day!
  2. These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer  ~  Because it is an excellent portrayal of how people can change.
  3. The Wheat Princess by Jean Webster  ~  Mostly the same reason as These Old Shades.  And something else that I can't quite put into words.  (Plus it's set in Italy so.... :))
  4. Chip, of the Flying U by B.M. Bower  ~  Because it can always make me laugh when I am feeling down.
  5. Dear Enemy by Jean Webster  ~  The same reason as Chip, of the Flying U.  Also because it is another very good portrayal of how people can change..
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to another great year of reading!

Speaking of more reading, here's one more thing to be grateful for. Books on sale!

A note on the Ebooks Only page. All books are listed as "Sold Out." This only refers to paperback copies of these titles. Please click onto the product pages to find descriptions and links to discounted or free ebooks. Also, some of the authors this year chose to not sell their paperbacks directly through the site. Those books are also marked "Sold Out" but if you click them open, you'll find a link to the site where they are on sale and a discount code for you to use at check out.
