Hi, Carollee. I borrow books from my local library using an app called Overdrive on my phone,I don't have anything like an iPad. My favorite genre is Christian fiction, but I also like the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series by Laurie R. King, Agatha Christie, and occasionally Ngaio Marsh. But my all-time favorite series is At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. Dee Henderson, Terri Blackstock, Francine Rivers aand Jerry Jenkins are some of my favorite authors. The Fairlawn series by Angela Hunt is also very good.
For non fiction, I highly recommend Max Lucado, Charles Swindoll, and F. LaGard Smith.
Hope that gives you some ideas. Happy reading!
