The Book Of Tomorrowby
Cecelia Ahern
Cecelia Ahern, who is the best selling author of PS, I Love You and Thanks For The Memories is also the author of the book I finished reading on my kindle last night. Written in 2010, The Book Of Tomorrow is not the romantic comedy that the other two novels mentioned are. It is more of a science fiction or mystery book. Sixteen year old Tamera is a spoiled rich brat who suddenly loses everything when her dad commits suicide due to financial ruin. She and her mother end up living with poor relatives and she learns to evaluate every thing she ever knew about life though a magical diary that finds her at a book mobile. When she opens the diary she is able to read her entry about the next day that has not happened yet. I think this book is more of a young adult type book than Aherns other two novels were but I enjoyed it. The Book Of Tomorrow is also the first book that I checked out from my local library service for kindle so that was a new experience for me which worked out fine. As always click on the title and the authors name to follow the links to learn more. And enjoy the video below of an interview with the author about the book.
I heard of checking out Kindle books from libraries just a few days ago. Interesting! Can one read such without a Kindle reader? That is, can I read such a book on my computer?
ReplyDeleteThe Book Of Tomorrow sounds a little like that t.v. show "Early Edition."
There are different formats of books at the service my library uses. Some are for different devices. Also there is a free kindle app for my IPOD so I am sure there are free kindle apps for other devices. It is a whole new world isn't it dude?
ReplyDeleteI have found that most of what I want to check out is not ever available. I can put a hold on something and get it when it becomes available but then I would be in the middle of another book and it will only hold three days after it becomes available. So I am not sure I will use the service the library offers that often.
ReplyDeleteYou could try checking out the hardcover from your library...
ReplyDelete- just sayin'
You have to go into the library for that. I can check out on my kindle from home.
ReplyDeleteI save gas not going in to recheck books---nowadays even that helps! Finally, a real use for computers!
ReplyDeleteOn a pretty day I can walk to the local library. But I like the idea of browsing through my choices and downloading it to my kindle at home. I like my kindle because I can set the print size to where it is comfortable. My eyes are getting old.
