I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Land of My Heart (Heirs of Montana #1)Land of My Heart by Tracie Peterson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was free from Barnes and Noble when I downloaded it to my Nook library in 2013.
I enjoy historical fiction about the American West so a story about a girl who helps her family move from New Madrid, Missouri to Montana came with my high expectations. My rating dropped from 4 to 3 stars because the settings of time and place never felt real enough to help the characters overcome their flatness which confines them to following a storyline. The rating continued to drop when the Christian proselytizing became so heavy-handed in the final chapters.

The Best Life StoriesThe Best Life Stories by Reader's Digest Association
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it to my Nook library. I selected it because I enjoy stories about real people, and these stories are told in 150 words or less.

This book is best read is small doses, such as the time when you have to wait for appointments and can be interrupted at any time.

Homespun Bride (The McKaslin Clan Historical #2)Homespun Bride by Jillian Hart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it to my Nook.
I expect books of this genre to be predictable, but I still want to be entertained. I was disappointed because even at only 199 pages this felt overlong and repetitive. I subtracted a star because there were too many spelling errors.
Jillian Hart has written better books than this one.
