Memory Ghosts by Chelise Fry

We are delighted to share Rivershore's newest book, Memory Ghosts by Chelise Fry.

"The battle between hero and villain is one most often fought within ourselves"

This is the first in Fry's History of Eyrthum fantasy series, and follows brothers Reinhold and Lamertyn as they learn the secrets and dangers of Eyrthum. The intensity of the details, depth of the content, beautiful wording, and realistic characters combine to make this a book that draws the reader in and keeps their interest to the end. We are eager to read book 2!

Book Spotlight: Northanger Abbey

Northanger Abbey
by Jane Austen

I've made it no secret that Jane Austen is my favorite author. My mom introduced me to her books when I was around ten years old, and within weeks I had read all her novels and was seeking out her unfinished stories. Since then I've read every piece of hers that I could find--including her letters. I enjoy them all, for different reasons. Her snarky insights are, for me at least, still relevant to today's world. But I do have a favorite: Northanger Abbey. As an avid reader with an active imagination, I connected to Catherine Morland as soon as I started the book...and Henry Tilney is far more charming to me than Darcy ever was.

This book is available for $0.99 on the Kindle.

Book Spotlight: The Inheritance

The Inheritance
by Louisa May Alcott

This was one of the first of Alcott's books I read. My grandma gave it to me when I was around nine years old, and I read it in one sitting. When I finished, I read it again--and I've read it at least five times since. It's a short book, and her first novel, "written at seventeen." Naturally, it's not as high in quality as her later books, and there are certainly plot points and character development problems that could be critiqued. Still, it's a beautiful little story, and I love the "fairytale" quality.

I own this beautiful version:


It is also included in this Kindle compilation of Louisa May Alcott's works for $0.99.

Book Spotlight: Freckles

Freckles
by Gene Stratton-Porter

When I was growing up, we read books together as a family, taking turns reading out loud. Although sometimes "Come here; let's read" brought groans, I always ended up enjoying it. One of the books I remember reading this way was Freckles, by Gene Stratton-Porter. I've read it on my own since then, and loved it just as much. This book shows the importance of character in a way I don't often see in a novel. I plan to reread it again--probably several times.

I highly recommend this book! It's available for only $0.99 on the Kindle--and you can find used copies fairly cheap.



The sequel, Girl of the Limberlost, is also worth reading.
