Free books for Upper Intermediate Level students

Hi there.

I´ve had too much difficulty in finding websites that recommend free British novels or stories books for upper intermediate level learners. Most of the websites I have found is not about contemporary stories. It is books of authors like Charles Dickens, Jane Austin etc. Those ones are written in 1800 century.

If you know some website with contemporary book stories, please, let your recommendations in this discussion. It can be science fictions, non-science fictions, adventures, dramas. We can exchange some information and this might be a nice experience for learning English and enjoying the reading books. If you´ve had some book and you would like to share it, that´ll be a pleasure.

I'll really appreciate that!

Thanks a lot.

Now and then X Once in awhile Hi there. Could somebody, please, explain if there´s any difference between 'now and then' and once in awhile'? Can I use both to meaning the same idea? Ps: If I typed grammatically anything wrong, please, let me know by correcting. Thanks a lot. I.e: 1 - At the same time, it's important to recycle your vocabulary once in awhile. 2 - Find an item or two in your house which is the center of your attention every now and then.

Strive x Struggle ? Who can explain? Hi there! Can someone, please, clarify if there's some difference of meaning between the words strive and struggle? Is that synonyms? Thanks for your help!
