It's a service that provides information about free and discounted ebooks that are available. This encouraged me to sign up. Since then, I've downloaded dozens of free books to my Kindle.

Treasure Island
Title: Treasure Island Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Published: 1883 For a very long time, I've steered clear of books that are considered classic literature. In most cases, I'm sure it's out of a fear that somehow my 11th grade American Lit. teacher will appear from nowhere and expect me to write an exhaustive paper on … Continue reading Treasure Island
Firestarter
Title: Firestarter Author: Stephen King Published: 1980 I feel like I've been reading this book forever. I started it about six months ago and have just been picking at it here and there when I feel like I've had time in between other things I've been reading and dealing with work stuff. I'm usually a … Continue reading Firestarter
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
Title: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years Author: Donald Miller Published: 2011 Donald Miller made a splash in the world of Christian non-fiction with his bestseller Blue Like Jazz. I never read it. But I know it was a big hit among folks in my age group at the time. For a long time, … Continue reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
Safe Haven
Title: Safe Haven Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2010 Listening to True Believer renewed my interest in Nicholas Sparks. It's not like I have fuzzy feelings toward the guy, but I was just in the mood to pick up another of his books. So I picked up this one. The story opens up on Katie. She's … Continue reading Safe Haven
True Believer
Title: True Believer Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2005 I know what I said after I read At First Sight. I said I was done with Nicholas Sparks. I said that I hated the man and that I was stupid for continually picking up his novels and subjecting myself to the torture of reading them. But … Continue reading True Believer
I Am Number Four
Title: I Am Number Four Author: Pittacus Lore Published: 2010 I've been reading this book for a while now. I know that, for the most part, when it takes a long time to read a book, it means that the book isn't holding my attention. It isn't causing me to turn page after page to … Continue reading I Am Number Four
The Time Machine
Title: The Time Machine Author: H. G. Wells Published: 1895 I've never read this book before now. And I'm a little disappointed in myself for that fact. After all, I find the subject of time travel to be a fascinating idea. This is obvious because so many of my favorite movies and TV shows deal … Continue reading The Time Machine
The Lost World
Title: The Lost World Author: Michael Crichton Published: 1995 I never read this as a kid, unlike its predecessor, Jurassic Park. My reasoning? Because I saw the movie first and was supremely disappointed. And even though I know the book is generally better than the movie, I just couldn't bring myself to read this thing. … Continue reading The Lost World
Movies w/ Jeff: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
I have a lot to say about this movie. A lot. But that's because I'm slightly biased. If you know me at all, you know that I have been a fan of Superman since shortly after birth, so I was inclined to thoroughly enjoy this film long before it was even announced as being in … Continue reading Movies w/ Jeff: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
