Hello,

Instead of sending you the usual newsletter with highlights from BookBrowse, below you'll find a link to a complimentary copy of this week's edition of The BookBrowse Review, our twice-monthly online magazine. The Review is one of the many benefits of being a BookBrowse member (for a cost of less than $3/month.)

But first, let me tell you about two books that our members have been reading recently as part of our First Impressions program...

The Hollow Ground by Natalie S. Harnett

Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books
Historical Fiction, May 2014, 336 pages

Number of reader reviews: 18
Readers' consensus: 4.3/5.0

Members Say:
"The coal fires in 1960's Pennsylvania provide the background for this book... a family saga, historical novel and a mystery. I really enjoyed it and think it would be an excellent choice for book clubs." - Mary M. (Lexington, KY)

"Ms Harnett's description of Barrendale placed me among the soot, ash, & smoke. I could just picture the land and what it was like down in he bootlegger's hole... - Barbara B. (Alta Loma, CA)

"I highly recommend this book, it is a story you will continue to think about long after you finish reading the book." - Mary S. (Pinson, AL)

"I have enjoyed hundreds of books but The Hollow Ground will stand apart from previous reads in that the strength of the story and the spontaneous and profound understanding I felt with the narrator, Bridget, shook me to my core. A truly fine work....thank you!" - Lydia M. (Virginia Beach, VA)

Enduring Courage by John F. Ross

Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Biography, May 2014, 400 pages

Number of reader reviews: 17
Readers' consensus: 4.4/5.0

Members Say:
"A vivid portrait of the utterly amazing Eddie Rickenbacker, who was forever at the center of action throughout his long life. Rickenbacker's resume included that of a successful race car driver in the early 1900s, America's top flying ace in WWI, and some 24 harrowing days adrift at sea in WWII..." - David M. (Glendale, CA)

"This is one fascinating biography that was riveting and a page-turner." - Daniel A. (Naugatuck, CT)

"This is not typical biography, more of a historical blast from the past... this was truly a gem." - Laura G. (Conroe, TX)

"Ross knows his subject very well and is shines through! The narrative flows and is never dull or flat. Ross brings American life in the early 20th century to life in a way that informs without lecturing." - Jane N. (Little Egg Harbor, NJ)
