Some good book recommendations please

My HCBW is having surgery in a few weeks and will be laid up for awhile. She loves to read. I'm prolly gonna renew my Audible membership. She likes the feel of an actual book in her hands though and reading the old fashioned way. Recommendations welcomed.

That quote is so old, it's also like the chloroform of anti LDS quotes.

VenomFarmer

Obviously. Mark Twain has been dead for over a century. Just because it’s old

I don't find out to be true at all. It's a great read.
