What are good science fiction books to read for someone who want to start reading them so nothing that complicated so more character based than hard science thanks in advance.

BQ.1 Are there any good free science fiction books on IBook on the iPad.

Cory Doctorow wrote Little Brother. It is not hard science. It is free since he believes in Creative Commons.

Baen Books allows some of their older books free.

I need suggestions on any good mystery books out there! Any help would be great! The only thing is that it has to be a mystery type genre. Thanks!

In the 4-part Dangerous Days series by J. William Turner, books 3 & 4 Outback Heroes and Enemies Within available on Kindle. The mystery behind a car-bombing in paris and the kidnapping of an English girl in the Australian desert in Outback Heroes is solved in Enemies Within.
If you don’t have a Kindle, the whole Dangerous Days series is available as one novel inside a hardcover by mail order.

I need to read a historical and mystery fiction book that isn’t too hard. (Like junior high level-ish…) I would like it if u gave me a link to a summary or review about the book. thanks!
Oh, I finally found a historical fiction book. So right now I need mystery books. Thanks! By the way I don’t really like most books with Old English so please try to avoid that.

Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman is historical fiction and funny! It’s the diary of a sassy, strong-willed English girl named Catherine, called Little Bird or Birdy, who lives in the Middle Ages.

If you’re looking for a mystery, try these two books:

They Never Came Back by Caroline B. Cooney. Cathy Ferris is the new girl in school with a past she’s trying to hide. http://www.shvoong.com/books/mystery-and-thriller/2174780-/

Shakespeare’s Secret by Elise Broach. A girl named Hero moves into a house with a fascinating secret linked to the great playwright himself. http://www.shvoong.com/books/mystery-and-thriller/2169776-shakespeare-secret/

Hope this helps!

I live in the UK so if anybody knows any british authors of Paranormal Mystery that would be great, as i don’t know whether there’s a Market over here for this type of book.
Thanks.

What are some really good Christian fantasy books?

admin — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:38:00 +0000

I love Christian fantasy and seeing the truths and lessons I can get out of it. I’ve read the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings, the Dragon Keeper Series (by Donita K. Paul), Auralia’s Colors, the Door Within Trilogy, and Dragons in our Midst. I was wondering if anybody out there knows of any more good Christian fantasy books for older teens. And please don’t write anything mean please, anybody. Thank you!

First, to the person who stated Lord of the Rings is not Christian, you are mistaken. In fact, Tolkien repeatedly identified Christian themes in Lord of the Rings. For example, in a letter, Tolkien made the following statement: “The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work, unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision…the religious element is absorbed into the story and symbolism.” Far from making a stupid assumption, Kittycat was actually coming into agreement with the author’s own perspective of his work.

Now, on to the original question. Kittycat, here are some additional Christian fantasy suggestions for you. I will list authors, rather than titles, because many of these writers have multiple books released.

Jill Williamson
Stephen Lawhead
LB Graham
RJ Anderson
Anne Elizabeth Stengl
ND Wilson

I also blog on Christian fantasy at http://www.sarahsawyer.com/blog and at the beginning of each month post new releases in the genre.
