Oprah’s latest book club selection being those two Dickens titles, i’m curious about the seeming connection.
Hi Steven: I know! I was thinking about that as I was writing the post. It is interesting that of the books at the top of their free list, two are featured in the upcoming Oprah’s Book Club – “A Tale of Two Cities” and “Great Expectation” by Charles Dickens. Did Oprah’s book club followers send those to the top of the Google eBookstore ‘Free’ list? Thanks for writing! Kathleen
