| I don't mind classics but not sure if everyone would be as they can be a little tough to get through sometimes.
I get sent emails for free kindle books everyday so could find something on there to make it cheap for people but i guess not everyone has a kindle. |

| I've heard a lot of people talking about this book on twitter and saying it's very good. Has anyone already read it, would anyone be interested in reading it?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divergent-Veronica-Roth/dp/0007420412/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340707219&sr=8-1
It is a young adult one though i think so I don't mind if people would prefer something different.
There's a couple on the free kindle books page that have decent reviews

| I really don't mind what we read. I do want to read the Shades of Grey, but doubt there would be anything of merit to discuss... haha!
I don't have a Kindle, but do have an iPad, which I assume downloads would be quite similar. |

| Vigilante would get my vote of the first three. I have read the Susan Lewis book and its good.
Bumpwatcher I read the first three pages of 50 shades and it was so badly written I had to stop reading it |

| Ok so looking like Vigilante might be the book. If you can get it today on your kindle as sometimes those free books only last a day. Fran you can get the kindle app on ipad.. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8
Still open to suggestions though if someone would really like to read something else |

| was just about to post a link from amazon to help. glad you got it all sorted. If you're interested i use this website a lot to find free book. i download one or two a day (best to get them while they are there as sometimes they are only free for the day), i have loads of books waiting to be read now and haven't spent a penny http://www.ereaderiq.co.uk/free/ |

| Lots of people seem to like it though. I teach History and English which probably doesn't help as I'm used to picking out all the mistakes. I was just reading it and thinking that my Year 8s could have written something better. However, the whole Twilight thing has passed me by as well. I saw the first film on a school trip and hated it |

| Ooh will have a look at that link... I feel an obsession coming on!
I read the first three Twilight books before seeing any of the films. I was quite disappointed by the first film, but they do get significantly better. Although none of them are a patch on the books. |

Also Michelle what was that other website you mentioned on the train something coffee shop? It was The Writers Coffee Shop, the library has an original fiction section, i think the rest is fanfiction. It's tough as you have to wade through some crap lol but there's some decent stuff on there. Tbh most of the really good ones are usually pulled and actually published though so if you're looking for decent stuff rather than a quick simple read then maybe check out the publishing house section. Fran - i prefered the first film of Twilight series I LOVE the indie feel of it and the Rob/Kristen chemistry. Although it is the one that misses the most out because of budgetting i guess. Eclipse is the worst in my opinion, it lacks passion. Breaking Dawn &Twilight are my fav films. |
