Last week, my ddddddh gave me a kindle for our 10th anniversary. I’ve been finding some great books online to put on it and would love to hear what others have been reading for themselves or as read-alouds.
Letters of a Woman Homesteader from Amazon (a humorous and interesting account of a single woman homesteading a claim in Wyoming in the early 1900s)
The Darjeeling Disaster from Archive.org (a missionary family in India lost, to this life, six of their seven children, it is the story of their family life and how the parents dealt with this)
The Bible in Spain from Manybooks.com (a missionary effort in the mid-1800s–I’ve just gotten through the preface and first chapter, but just the preface about Spanish culture was worth it!)
The Railway Children from Gutenburg (a children’s story we were reading aloud, but had to be returned to the library)
Wind in the Willows from Gutenburg (a children’s story for our next naptime readaloud)
A Circuit Rider’s Wife from Archive.org (an interesting and often amusing, though thought-provoking, autobio of this woman’s married life)
I’ve also been going through the bio genre on ManyBooks and seen a lot of interesting histories of early American life that I’ve downloaded, but haven’t had the chance to read yet.
I’m loving this kindle!!!
So, what have you been reading?
