If you do not do this already, can I recommend you make the 100 top free books a regular 'look see'. I scan the list often, and make it a port of call like here! Sometimes books are only in the list for a day or only slightly longer. The next thing you know you are paying anything from 49p to £5 or £6.

Good preparation for the up and coming Easter and summer holidays!

Obviously some books on the list never seem to change, but others I am sure are only there to get downloads and reviews. Have had some great reads ( but also a few crappy ones) doing this.

It's one of the things that I do at the weekends - just to cheer myself up. Sometimes I download nothing new and sometimes a spot a couple of new ones I fancy so it's worth doing.

I can download kindle books onto my iPad. This morning I downloaded a book of British Birds, 2 vegetarian recipes books, a book of African fables to use in guided reading, a book of African animal photos and one about acai berries. All free off the amazon site.
It was interesting how I judged the books by the cover as I quickly scanned through hundreds of titles. So many books and authors trying to get them noticed.

I am trying to load my kindle up ready for half term week and am totally incapable of thinking which books to put on it. I got the kindle for taking on holidays etc so this is my first opportunity to really use it to the max and I can no longer think what I wanted to read. What recommendations have you got for books which don't require too much brain power to read, yet make you think a bit about life or inspire me to find out more about some things? Free would be good, but low cost is almost as good.

Thank you xx

A few years ago I read 'The Queen and I' by Sue Townsend (the Adrian Mole woman), it's a good lighthearted read about how the Royal family have to go and live on a rough council estate and mix with the locals. It made me chuckle at times. It is currently in Amazon's Jubilee 99p range.

Thanks crispy, I rattled through that and found it most amusing, especially as a Republican sympathiser (shhhh) and in Jubilee Week.

Also read The Help - yes, I know, I must be the only person in the world not to have read it! Fantastic book that has kept me thinking.

And have started Before I go to sleep, but unlike many, I am finding it possible to put it down.

But did you know that your Kindle can do much more than just read ebooks or articles? There are a number of different features and uses that were added, developed or created by third-party developers with every new model of Kindle released.

I haven't read The Help either. The Queen And I - read it years ago, must get the kindle version and have another peak.
