Ruth Haffly Said to Dave Drum about Books and reading

RH> RH> Got that. Woould the Action & Adventure be the category Tom
RH> RH> Clancy books are in? I've collected the Jack Ryan series and
RH> RH> would want to get more in the e book format.

RH>  DD> You won't find a lot of Tom Clancy on BookBub. It's sort of
RH> like a

RH> Not even the older ones?

I have serious doubts that you will find *ANY* Tom Clancy on BookBub. 
But, there are other source - I scored a lot of Clancy (and others) from 
the internet news groups alt.binaries.e-books and alt.binaries.ebook

As soon as my replacement Kindle arrives I will be back to working my 
way through the complete Travis McGee series.

RH>  DD> remainder bin - reduced price or free. I have scored some gems
RH>  DD> - much as I used to do in the remaindered racks at the record
RH>  DD> stores (when there were actual, physical record stores around)
RH>  DD> or the $1 tables at Barnes & Noble or Walden Books.

RH> Have to take a look and see what I can score.

Good luck. It's a daily e-mail listing to your inbox. And I don't always 
find something worthwhile. But, often enough that I keep them around.

RH> RH>  DD> Freebie/low cost books are available for Amazon Kindle,
RH> RH>  DD> Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble Nook, Google Play, Kobo,
RH> RH>  DD> Smashwords, or Sony Reader Store

RH> RH> Sounds like the cost is good. Some categories I'd not care for,
RH> RH> others I'll sign up for in a heartbeat.

RH>  DD> Well, yeah. Same here. Right now I am reading an Alternate
RH>  DD> History novel in hard cover as the display on the Kindle has
RH>  DD> gone all raggedy and unreadable. I bought a replacement on eBay
RH>  DD> which should be here by Tuesday next. Wednesday at the latest.

RH> I'm reading a hardback (fiction) bio of Joseph of Arimathea. Found
RH> it at the Sharing Shop, when I'm done, it'll go back there.

That's Joshua ben Joseph's uncle, right? I believe he was mentioned in 
Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

RH> RH>  DD> You are under no obligation to follow the link, nor to sign
RH> RH>  DD> up. But, I found it a useful addition in the sea of
RH> RH>  DD> information overload.

RH> RH> A diamond in the gravel pit of the internet?

RH>  DD> Another computer program I recommend for readers is Calibre -
RH>  DD> freeware from Sourceforge. It will let you use your confuser as
RH>  DD> an e-book reader as well as converting your e-books from one
RH>  DD> format to another. And it's my favourite price - FREE. Although
RH>  DD> I schlepped them a $25 donation because it is well-done and 
RH>  DD> very useful (to me). Also because they didn't pull a gun and 
RH>  DD> demand payment.  Bv)=

RH> OK, good to know and give it a look-see.

RH> RH> I've got most of my fiction collection in paperback--whole lot
RH> RH> less poundage. Picked up MIchener's "Mexico" a few weeks ago at
RH> RH> a good cost (free), added to my collection. I need to go thru my

RH>  DD> I used to do paperbacks exclusively. But, I have begun
RH>  DD> converting the "keepers" to hard cover (usually via eBay). I
RH>  DD> don't plan to move from here - except maybe across the street
RH>  DD> or across town. I have also begun divesting my Bon Apetit and
RH>  DD> Gourmet magazines - tried to Freecycle them and got no takers.
RH>  DD> So when ever I visit a doctor's office I leave a
RH>  DD> bundle on the reading tables.  Bv)=  Beats stale and outdated
RH>  DD> People or Rolling Stoned.

RH> I'm going to pass my Food Newtork and Cooking Light magazines to our
RH> neighbor. She's beginning to get into cooking so figure she might
RH> have fun with them.

The only cooking magazine to which I subscribe is SAVEUR - I was really 
torqued when Conde' Nast ditched Gourmet and kept Bon Apetit, Gourmet 
had, by far, the superior writing and food porn adverts.

RH> RH>  DD>       Title: Amish Broccoli Salad
RH> RH>  DD>  Categories: Vegetables, Pork, Fruits, Nuts
RH> RH>  DD>       Yield: 6 servings

RH> RH> I use sunflower seeds instead of nuts; this has become one of
RH> RH> our favorite salads. Made it for Life Group a few months ago &
RH> RH> one teen girl took just a small amount. She came back and filled
RH> RH> a bowl with it.

RH>  DD> Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) would work, too. It's a pretty
RH>  DD> versatile recipe.

RH> OK, nice to know so I can pick & choose next time I need to
RH> replenish. They're usually a Whole Foods purchase but got some at
RH> the Mennonite store in PA on one of our recent trips.

I like pepitas nearly any way I find them. They're quite versatile - in 
mole, in salads, as snacks, as garnish, etc.
