The Island House
by Elana Johnson
FREEBIE
Contemporary Romance
Rating: 4.3
Thirty-seven, recently divorced, and childless. That’s Charlotte when she disembarks from the plane in Getaway Bay. She wants to get away, that’s for sure. She thought the best way to do that was to buy a run-down house overlooking the bay, knowing she’ll need all her fixer-upper skills to get it in shape. Which is just fine. She’s hoping as she overhauls the house, she’ll get a life makeover too.
She was not expecting a tall, handsome man to be under the kitchen sink when she arrives at the supposedly abandoned house. She wasn’t expecting to get drenched when the non-plumber twists something the wrong way. And she certainly wasn’t expecting her heart to be well enough to feel anything for anyone.

The French Revolution
by Hilaire Belloc
FREEBIE
History
Rating: 4.2
The object of this book is not to recount once more the history of the Revolution: that can be followed in any one of a hundred text-books.
Its object is rather to lay, if that be possible, an explanation of it before the non-French readers; so that they may understand both what it was and how it proceeded, and also why certain problems hitherto unfamiliar to people outside of France have risen out of it. #ad

The Beautiful and Damned
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
FREEBIE
Literary Classics
Rating: 4.4
First published in 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s second novel The Beautiful and Damned portrays the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York Café Society. The story is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald’s stormy relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald.
A fierce parable about the illusory quality of dreams, the intractable nature of reality, and the ruin wrought by time, The Beautiful and Damned eerily anticipates the dissipation and decline that would come to the Fitzgeralds themselves before the decade had run its course. #ad

The Autobiography of Henry VIII
by Margaret George
BARGAIN
Historical Fiction
Rating: 4.6
The Autobiography of Henry VIII is the magnificent historical novel that established Margaret George’s career. Evocatively written in the first person as Henry VIII’s private journals, the novel was the product of fifteen years of meticulous research and five handwritten drafts.
Much has been written about the mighty, egotistical Henry VIII: the man who dismantled the Church because it would not grant him the divorce he wanted; who married six women and beheaded two of them; who executed his friend Thomas More; who sacked the monasteries; who longed for a son and neglected his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth; who finally grew fat, disease-ridden, dissolute. #ad

Soon Callahan and her crew of eccentric cleaners are involved in a job messier than any they’ve ever encountered. Illicit love triangles, crooked business deals, long-distance scams–it’s going to require some industrial-strength sleuthing on Callahan’s part to solve this one. #ad
