I’ve comprised a list of the 10 best books from the fiction genre (these books are works of fiction but they may not be classified as part of the other genre’s I’ve done so far).

A historical fiction from WWII follows Grace as she goes to work at a book store in order to gain some working experience. She soon learns the power of story telling and how it can bring a community together during a time of need. This children’s fantasy book would be good to read to your kids(s ..read more

I visited my local book store today and found some more books. I think I was able to get so many because everything I found today was from the bargain section. I am surprised people don’t drive by where I live and think my house is another branch of the local library ..read more

I finished reading this last night before going to bed. This book was recommended to me by another blogger a few years ago and I finally got around to reading it. It’s not normally the kind of book I normally read but I took a chance reading it because I trusted the person who recommended it to me. The book follows a boy named Santiago who is ambitious enough to go travel so he starts off by traveling with his sheep. However, he learns that his personal quest in life is to find a treasure and goes off in search of it. He learns a lot of valuable lessons while in pursuit of his “treasure”. Plus ..read more

Well, I swung by my local book store (again) while I was out and about. All of the books that I found this time around came from the bargain section so I got out of there without breaking the bank. If I get any more books, I might have to purchase another book shelf. Of course, I don’t know where I’m going to put it. *sheepishly grins ..read more

I finally finished reading this one. I like horror and I happen to like books that a bunch of short stories in them. This has both of those. However, I think this is made for younger audiences……like maybe around the 10 to 12 year olds. The book was still good, mind you. I did enjoy it. This just might be one of those books that you let your kids read if they aren’t easily scared. Or maybe this can be one of those books that you read with your kids. If you are a fan of the “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” series by Alvin Schwartz then you’d probably like this book. Synopsis: Amelia is clean ..read more

I had to go out and run a couple of errands yesterday on my day off. While I was out, I got to spend a little time at my local book store getting some new material to read. I always love to spend a little “me” time at the book store because a) I get to find some new stuff to read and b) I get to have fun looking for new stuff to read. It’s like a scavenger hunt for an avid book reader such as myself. The first four out of the five books listed where actually from the bargain section. I love shopping from the bargain section because I can make my dollar stretch a lot further (obviously) and tha ..read more
