					<description><![CDATA[These books are not dead. They are marked with black ribbons because they haven't been born into my library yet. They are Kindle samples. Have you read any of these?]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">These black lines across the corners of the books look tragic. As if the books had died. They didn’t die though, they just haven’t been born into my library yet. They are samples of Kindle books. If I like a sample, I can buy the whole book. Best case scenario, only about a third of the samples will end up in my library. I will ditch the rest.</p>
<p class="p1">I’m really looking forward to <a href="https://amzn.to/2ngT7w9" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Less</em></a> by Andrew Sean Greer. It sounds clever and fun. I’m also hopeful for <a href="https://amzn.to/2LSI2QN" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Watching You</em></a> and<a href="https://amzn.to/2LYh5dV" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> You were Made for This</em></a> because <strong><a href="https://excusemyreading.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ova</a></strong> said they were good and I trust her opinion. I probably won’t conquer <a href="https://amzn.to/2vlQSw7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carthage Must be Destroyed</a>, but I’ll try.</p>
<p class="p1">Which of these would you try?</p>
<p class="p1">The rest of the books are:</p>
<p class="p1">1. <a href="https://amzn.to/2OOHE3M" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The South</em></a> by Colm Tóibín.</p>
<p class="p1">2.<a href="https://amzn.to/2M5sRD9" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Eight White Nights</em></a> by André Aciman (Because <em>Call Me by Your Name</em> <a href="/2018/08/03/call-me-by-your-name-by-andre-aciman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was awesome</a>!)</p>
<p class="p1">3. <a href="https://amzn.to/2OOInlw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>On Chesil Beach</em></a> by Ian McEwan.</p>
<p class="p1">4. <a href="https://amzn.to/2vkrMOe" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe</em></a> by Fannie Flagg.</p>
<p class="p1">5. <a href="https://amzn.to/2KvoV9M" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Summer Wives</em></a> by Beatriz Williams.</p>
<p class="p1">6. <a href="https://amzn.to/2OLPc7k" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>An American Marriage</em></a> by Tayari Jones.</p>
<p class="p1">7. <a href="https://amzn.to/2Kv4Kc3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Our Man in Havana</em></a> by Graham Greene.</p>
<p class="p1">8. <a href="https://amzn.to/2LSJKSd" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Third Policeman</em></a> by Flann O&#8217;Brien.</p>
<p class="p1">9. <em><a href="https://amzn.to/2vnnt4C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst</a></em> by Robert Sapolsky (It has a super high rating of 4.41 on Goodreads!)</p>
<p class="p1">10. <a href="https://amzn.to/2ncVv7p" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>You&#8217;re Just Too Good To Be True</em></a> by Sofija Stefanovic (Because I <a href="/2018/07/31/miss-ex-yugoslavia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loved</a> her <em>Miss Ex-Yugoslavia</em> memoir.)</p>
<p class="p1">11. <a href="https://amzn.to/2OMkxXh" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Close to Home</em> </a>by Cara Hunter (Although I’m still a bit grumpy that <a href="/2018/08/03/online-book-shopping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the audiobook is not licensed to be sold in my country</a>. Also, I’m suspicious of everything that is series. It can mean no proper ending.)</p>
<p class="p1">12. <a href="https://amzn.to/2vmj8if" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Pretend I&#8217;m Dead</em></a> by Jen Beagin.</p>
<p class="p1">13. <a href="https://amzn.to/2AFk9Hj" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Terrible</em></a> by Yrsa Daley-Ward.</p>
<p class="p1">14. <a href="https://amzn.to/2M2Vgdc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine</em></a> by Gail Honeyman.</p>
<p class="p1">15. <a href="https://amzn.to/2O8hhEw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Berlin Alexanderplatz</em></a> by Alfred Döblin.</p>
<p class="p1">16. <a href="https://amzn.to/2nf4xk0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Martian</em></a> by Andy Weir (It sounds a bit boring to read a book after watching the movie, but I was told the book is much better. Taking into account that the movie is also quite good, <em>The Martian</em> should be an interesting read.)</p>
<p class="p1">17. <a href="https://amzn.to/2LWWmrt" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Find a Way</em> </a>by Diana Nyad (Nonfiction about an endurance swimmer.)</p>
<p class="p1">18. <a href="https://amzn.to/2ncSZ0H" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer</em></a> by Lynne Cox (Another endurance swimmer in VERY cold waters!)</p>
<p class="p1">19. <a href="https://amzn.to/2AJz7fm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Why Zebras Don&#8217;t Get Ulcers</em></a> by Robert Sapolsky (Couldn’t ignore the title!)</p>
<p class="p1">20. <a href="https://amzn.to/2M38nuB" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Bosnian Chronicle</em></a> by Ivo Andrić (Another epic book on the history of places near me, written by an author who’s very famous here. He’s also a Nobel Prize winner.)</p>
<p class="p1">Have you read any of these? What did you think?</p>
