OK I'll Start; I am now reading this, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451684304/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this is next "On-Deck", http://www.amazon.com/Never-Turn-Your-Back-Angus/dp/1592408974/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432043421&sr=8-1&keywords=dr+pol+book
I would like to recommend:
1. "Foreign Enemies and Traitors" by Matthew Bracken (freeper Travis McKee). I read it quite some time ago and couldn't put it down. Bracken's "Domestic Enemies" has been highly recommended to me and is on my reading list.
2. "Our Constitution Rocks" by Juliette Turner. Although written for teens, adults have also enjoyed reading it.
Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
All Christian women should read this book!
I’m into thrillers and mysteries mostly. Also have a lot of historical stuff, and some classical, ancient books as well.. A lot of the classics, are free, or public domain.
Never used to read recreationally until I got an iPad and discovered iBooks. A lot of authors, the smart ones anyway, offer up the first book free on iBooks, and probably kindle and nook as well. Check the free books from whatever category interests you, and you might just find some treasure.
Just finished reading “Bad Blood” by Dana Stabenow. Set in Alaska, the 20th book in the Kate Shugak Series. Pretty darn good if you like a who done it. And Ms. Stabenow does know how to tell a story and puts you in Alaska.
Before that I re read the “1632/Ring of Fire” series by Eric Flint. Think Conneticut Yankee in King Auther’s Court, only with 3000+ hillbillies from a small town in WVa transported to the middle of Germany during the 30 years war. It’s a hell of a series with fan fiction ideas driving a lot of the narrative. Very intricate and complex. Religion, politics, economics, you name it, it’s got it all.
All the “Jack Reacher” books by Lee Child.
“Mitch Rapp - American Sniper”, and all the rest by Vince Flynn. RIP
The “Gabriel Allon” series by Daniel Silva.
James Rollins “Sigma Force”.
Tess Gerristen and her “Rizzoli & Isles” books. Completely different from the TV show. They’re good.
“Dress Grey”, by Lician Trescott IV, set at West Point.
And a whole lot more.
Thank you Jane.
Correction: the fist “Mitch Rapp” book is “American Assasin” not American Sniper.
Does anyone have experience with the Nook Glowlight? Am seriously considering one. Thanks.
found one just today that I haven’t read but it is a must read for every citizen of the United States...
Licensed to Lie
Exposing the Corruption of the Department of Justice
by Sydney Powell
references from the text are on the site.
Posting this in honor of LCpl Michael Keating
I think that's what a friend has.
She likes it very much.
All the Nook are on the Android OS.
I think I'm correct in saying that you can get the Kindle app on the Nook, but not get the Nook app on the Kindle.
I could be wrong...currently, because that fact is why I originally bought the Nook HD I have.
Could have changed since then.
Anyway, the battery life is exceptional, good wifi, and if you watch, you're likely to find it on sale at a B & N.
Thanks for the ping. “Revolutionaries” is on the way to me from Amazon.
Last six months?
I can only give you the last two weeks:

I have heard it happen to others also. Try contacting Kindle on amazon.com.
A Son of Thunder Patrick Henry and the American Republic. I’m currently reading it. Just finished 24 week Bible Study. I didn’t read every word, but was studying the King James Bible.
If you like Vince Flynn, you might also like Brad Thor. I enjoyed his “Hidden Order.” He has a new one, “Code of Conduct,” coming out this summer.
“Licensed to Lie” sound interesting, plan to look it up. Thanks for recommending it.
I’ve heard that name. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System, David Skarbek. A discussion of how the need to create some facsimile of social order amidst violent men and traffic in contraband motivates prison gangs.
Principles of Economics (a classic, Alfred Marshall; part of some book-writing I'm doing)
Phantom Terror: Political Paranoia and the Creation of the Modern State, 1789-1848, Adam Zarnovski. Author seems to be a leftist, but it still a fairly impressive account of how paranoia about the French revolution led to rampant conspiracism and the creation of much more sophisticated state surveillance. Metternich is a prominent villain in this account.
Books Without Borders in Enlightenment Europe, Jeffrey Freedman. Hardly started it, but the title is about how French Enlightenment texts were smuggled throughout Europe, where they were banned.
Infinitesimal: How a Dangerous Mathematical Theory Shaped the Modern World, Amir Alexander. Occasionally fascinating account of struggles inside and outside the Church over an obscure mathematical doctrine with profound theological implications.
The Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century, Jurgen Osterhammel. An astonishing panorama of the planet - not just Europe - from roughly 1789-1914. It is amazing how much this guy knows, although he too is a bit of a leftie. About 900pp, so not for the faint of heart.
Inventing Freedom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World. Self-explanatory. On my list: Charles Murray's newest, By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission.
Also recently finished Second in Command BY Edward R. Murphy, jr, about the USS Pueblo.
Thank you for your kind words!
I’ve been doing it this way since 9/11/01. Although I had been reading the Bible daily since 1981, there was something about 9/11 that made me want to absorb the whole thing and thereby get the “Whole Counsel Of God” as soon as possible. Since I have been reading it this way, I can remember verses without consciously MEMORIZING them. It’s has blessed me greatly!
My eight bookmarks have holographic kitties that turn into puppies when you wiggle them...a gift from a student.
