The story is heartwarming, the writing is brilliant and I couldn't put it down. (0 more)
Spoiler: Theres a daughter.
I found this book at a car boot (flea market if you're American) on a school trip. It cost me 50p I believe and I would have paid more if I had known this would open up a whole new world for me.
This story is such a wonderful one, it's also believable. A historical romance I would recommend to anyone that loves that kind of book. Once I read The Secret Daughter, I went on to buy and read all of Catherine Kings books unfortunately theres not as many as I wished there were! I've read all her books atleast twice and this one will always have a special place in my heart as it is what made me fall back in love with reading.

I enjoy this era a bit. I kept interest in WWII. I also like the way this book went about differently and how things got complicated between the father and mother of the book. I also like how a romance happened between a white soldier and a black soldier sister. You learn about some of the things going on Civil Rights. You see it though his daughters, their mothers. It really is a good book.

Easy to use
Love it
This is probably my second most used app behind goodreads. I love having access to thousands of ebooks at my fingertips. As a constant reader I like being able to access a book no matter where I am. And if the book i need isn't available, they have a hold option, just like at a standard library. Overall a 10/10, no complaints.

I'm ashamed to say it's been years since I read a Michael Crichton novel, but what a way to jump back in! This book was better than I expected, somehow he managed to keep it interesting even though there wasn't a lot of action happening. The pacing was fast, although I thought the main character could have been a little more developed. All in all, this is a book I would definitely recommend.

Not as good as hoped but ok
This film was centred mostly around the parents who I think were a very strong cast, I had a few laughs during the film but I did expect there to be more comedy. It did border on a chick flick kind of film, with the parent scenes breaking that up. All in all, it was s good film with a great cast but I was a little disappointed.

"Right now I'm reading Pimp by Iceberg Slim. It's got me wanting to put my foot in a hoe's ass for real. I read it before but not very thoroughly so I'm reading it now because I've just got a Kindle. I grew up in Oakland where a lot of pimping and underage prostitution went on so I can relate. I can put myself in that position, but as a pimp. It's a fantasy."

I was having a conversation about the things I have found in used books, and I was wondering what some of your coolest/ weirdest finds have been? My latest find was a coupon that expired in 1999.

I found a letter in the back of a book telling about the first readers thoughts......all the readers before me added their name and a little message. It was almost like a traveling book.

I have to look through all of my books before I sell them to a used bookstore because I tend to put dollars in them when I don't have pockets and have found a few in my personal books. But the coolest is finding a purchased book was a birthday note written in 1967 to the reciever.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a fantastic collection of creepy tales. I really enjoyed it and I think kids will too.

hello fellow smashbombers. I wanted to clear something up. Is it possible to include software as a category in your next update as I use a lot of different software packages that I would love to rate. :)
