Station Eleven: A novel

Coming in at number 10 on our short list, this Amazon Best Book of the Month from September opens with a Russian airliner landing in middle America…and unleashing hell on earth. The passengers are carrying a virus whose explosion into the population of the planet wipes out the world as we know it. Pockets of survivors roam the wasteland that is left or cluster in little pockets…some are welcoming, some are not. The novel takes a turn from the typical apocalyptic offering with it’s ode to what has survived…music, and a traveling Shakespeare troup, whose members form an unlikely family. Tragically beautiful and heartrending, this is a must read for avid readers of all genres.

Paper Book vs eBook Industry Statistics: Don’t Burn Those Paperback Books Just Yet

Ebook growth by the numbers #infographic via Forbes

It is a rare person these days that hasn’t read at least one eBook lately. eBooks are an $8 billion industry, but are they as much of a threat to the “ink and paper” business as they are being given credit for? Not quite. While eBooks are convenient, usually less expensive (and often free), and instantly available, people are still not willing to completely turn from the ink and paper books that they grew up with. In fact, only 6% of internet users report that they exclusively read eBooks.

Top Kindle Biographies and Memoirs: Voices from the Past.

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys: The Film

There is something comforting in looking back to the past…knowing that there is nothing new under the sun. Whatever your life holds right now, there is someone who has been there before you, and written it down for posterity. Whether that someone lived 20 years ago, 500 years ago or is still with us today, they have something to say to future generations.

>> Check out other Biographies and Memoirs Best Sellers <<

Amazon’s Best Kindle Biographies and Memoirs section is the perfect place to find the voices from the past. With biographies of people from all walks of life, and memoirs from the good, the bad and the hilariously inappropriate, you are certain to find something that will let you curl up and escape, even just for a little while. Here are some of our favorites, in no particular order:

Yes Please

Amy Poehler is, in a word…hilarious. She’s the “girl-next-door” that makes us all roar with laughter–and feel like we could sit down and have cookies and coffee with her. “Yes Please” is her first book, a look at life, love and words to live by that will make you laugh, cry and think All The Thoughts before you’re finished.
