My go-to for ebooks!
This is an app I depend on daily. I can find everything from hidden gems, free books and classics to wildly popular current titles and even self-published books. Most titles that I want to find are available, sometimes even before the physical copy can be found nearby! Add in that I can get the audio book for a greatly reduced price through Audible if I buy the book via Kindle first, and I'm totally sold on this app. I also greatly appreciate that the books sync across devices, which makes it a heck of a lot easier to keep up with the material I'm reading.

Basically, there's nothing not to love about this app!

Book Rating
Have you ever picked up a book, thought it was going to be mediocre and realized that it brought out the passion in you? I have read a few books that have truly spoken to me, Parnassus on Wheels is one of those books.

I fell in love with the characters. Helen wanted an adventure and she definitely got it. I wish that this was my life. I would love to take an adventure with a man that is passionate about books. There is nothing better than sharing a passion with someone. I know that I'm one of those people who wants to share my latest read with the next person.

This book makes you want to find your next passion. I know my new dream is to own a bookmobile and travel the world selling books.

Ultimately, this book earns 5 golden stars. I will definitely be rereading this.

I feel like I'm disliking books more often then I like them. It is a great premise, but it just really dragged for me. I didn't care about a single character, and those I did care about weren't followed nearly enough. I can't honestly say that I enjoyed this book. It was a slog. It wasn't bad, but it really was not good.

Imaginative (0 more)
I read this book when I was about 12 and I absolutely loved it. As an avid reader who loves fantasy stories, what gets better than a tale about a girl who can read characters out of their books?! The book is imaginative and creative. I fell in love with the main character quickly and loved the complexities of the story.

Moss Hart | 2014 | Biography, Music & Dance
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"Moss Hart’s memoir of his early years (he died too young to produce Act Two) remains the gold standard among books about the American theater. Fully half of it is about his collaboration with George S. Kaufman on “Once in a Lifetime,” Hart’s breakthrough success. It is the best description of the creative process of theater that I’ve ever read."
