I was tricked into joining one of those clubs where they offer you a whole bunch of books for only $.01 and then you have to buy four more books at regular price over the next two years.
O.K., I say tricked, but really, I knew what I was getting into because in high school I did the CD version and proceeded to go into major debt with my parents because of all the music that was sent to me that I didn't have the heart to send back. That's how they get you. I should have learned, but I fooled myself into thinking that I was mature enough to handle it this time, and instead of them using me...it would be I who used them to get some free books.
Well, the time has come to buy those four books or else they're gonna bill me an insane amount because my two year membership status is coming to a close. The reason I never bought any books after those free ones is because they really don't have very many good books other than the free ones that I already got! I've ordered two (shown in the photos.) And I'm hoping that someone will be able to tell me a good book or a good author that I might not have thought of. So, help a girl out... good books anyone?

What club is it? I could look through their catalog for suggestions.
Double Day
I just read the Kite Runner (even though it's been out for a while)and LOVED it, his next book, A Thousand Spendid Suns, is on my list next~ Author Kahled Hosseini. Another on my list is Three Cups of Tea...thought I'd give you a few i like!
Thanks!
Oh, Jodi Piccoult is one of my faves. I suggest reading her "My Sister's Keeper"...I cried for days after I finished. It was amazing. Not that I want you to be crying, but it's such a powerful story I think you'd like it. Let me know how 19 Minutes is!
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver is a good non-fiction, if you haven't read that yet. Also, I'm re-reading some classics and Anna Karenina is great! And I second Elise's picks.
Really? Anna Karenina? I'm not one to put a book down, but after reading a quarter of that one, I did. I just couldn't get into it!
