Happy Book Lovers Day!<\/h1>\n

This unique holiday can also be celebrated on the first Saturday in November. So why not celebrate it both days?<\/p>\n

\"book\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"book\"<\/a>Hardcover, paperback, ebook. What’s your preference? Both have their advantages. Ebooks are usually less expensive than a paperback and definitely more so than a hardcover.<\/p>\n

One hundred books on an e-reader weigh far less than the same number of physical books and take up a lot less space – better for travel.<\/p>\n

For the person who likes mystery and suspense with romance…<\/p>\n

\"book\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When a contemporary teen is transported back in time to the Victorian era, she becomes A Shadow in the Past…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite having difficulty coming to terms with her situation, Sarah quickly learns she must keep her true identity a secret. Still, she feels stifled by the Victorians’ confining social practices, including arranged marriages between wealthy and influential families, and confronts them head on then suffers the consequences.<\/p>\n

When Sarah realizes she has fallen in love with the handsome Laird of Weetshill, she faces an agonizing decision. Does she try to find her way back to 2010 or remain in the past with the man she loves?<\/p>\n

Some of these stories are lighter than others, and some might even beg you to leave the lights on.<\/p>\n
