I haven't started yet, but I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it!

[Kay]

Thanks, Regina. I'm thinking that the price is so much cheaper than the amount that these readers use to be...so, I might by pass on the warranty.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Sadly, has taken a turn for the worse for me.

I'm really into it. About half way through it and at this point, I just have to know what is going to happen.

[Regina]

It gets better and better -- the ending of the story (before the prologuish ending) is satisfying. I wish she would have shut the book down at a certain point -- when you get there we can discuss. It is such an action packed book.

I haven't heard much positive about this series -- or any of her other series except for her first initial one (the one I mentioned earlier). But that sucks. :( I hate when it starts off good but turns bad. Kind of like -- I wanted that book so bad and it just is bad. So disappointing.

I am reading and while I am only at the beginning, I am really liking it. I love the characters Littlefield creates.

That is what I would do!

Sadly, I'm not feeling this one. I'm about 60% in and I'm struggling to want to read it. I'm not sure why I'm not connecting.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I'm not really connecting either. I'm at 68% (view spoiler)[Ellie's real dad is Gus, not surprised. The mud sex was hot in a way but cam & Ellie didn't seem to have much of a connection. Just lust. Plus, I kept thinking of all the places te mud might get. Lol. Now Javier may be dead, I doubt it! Ellie's shot & they're in a chopper with Derek (I want to know his story) headed to get Gus.

I just bought the Kindle paperwhite. Yay! But it will take 2-3 weeks before they ship it :(

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Yay! Bummer! I love mine!! You'll love it Kay. Is this your first kindle?

The Paperwhite is pretty awesome. Did you go 3G or WiFi? I think the 3G is pretty useful....but I get a lot of ARCs and it's not a bad idea to use WiFi for those. Amazon charge for downloads of 3rd party books if you use the 3G.

[Kay]

I have a kindle touch which I use when I read outside like at my son's games. I hardly use it otherwise since I don't like that it doesn't have a backlight even tho I have a light I can attach to it. I usually read on my Nook HD and that has the Kindle app on it too. The reason I bought it is b/c I want to get back into reading on an e-ink ereader again since it's so much easier on my eyes.

I got the WiFi one. I noticed that I'm usually very close to a hotspot or WiFi if I need it. That's another reason I decided to buy it b/c of the ARCs. It's so easy to send it straight to my Kindle.

[Ian]

Kay wrote: "I got the WiFi one. I noticed that I'm usually very close to a hotspot or WiFi if I need it."

lol..I wasn't going to say it just in case you bought the 3G...but I think you made the right choice. The 3G is useful, but if I had my time over, I probably would have rather kept the extra $60 in my pocket.

[Kay]

Yeah, 60 bucks is a bit steep. I also bought the cheapest one with all the ads. But those don't really bother me. I forgot to mention that I can also use my cell phone's 3g as a hot spot so the Wifi one is best for me.

[Ian]

Yeah I do the same with my iPhone...I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I was just dazed by the sparkly lights of the city and by the time my common sense kicked in they had my credit card number.

I can relate! LOL

[Dee]

yeah, i don't think amazon has changed me anything recently for emailing stuff - but if you go into your kindle account, you can set the amount to $0 - then it will automatically default to wifi

[Leea, Escape Artist]

My first reader, nook had wifi and 3G for some crazy reason I thought I'd need it. Now I just but te $119 one. The adds don't bother me at all. Most of the time I have my wifi off anyway.

Nothing like being home after a long vacation. Although the fridge is empty!! Ha!!

[Lori]

I have the Kindle Fire 4G/WiFi, and I decided against turning on the 4G. It seems reasonable for the 1st year through AT&T, but they're not my usual mobile carrier, and... it's really tough for me to gauge how much I'll download through the 4G.

Kay, I've always purchased the 2 year warranty, just in case. But I have to say that the 1 year guarantee from Kindle is really good. I've had to replace defective units (yes, it's happened with both my 1st Gen Fire and this HD version) and it was always no hassle and very quick.

[Lori]

For those of you who enjoy BDSM/erotic romances, I've stumbled upon a new series... The Nature of Desire by Joey W. Hill.

The first couple of books are good - 3.5-4 star reads. But the 3rd and 4th books (a pair, not standalone) are AMAZING! I actually gave book 4 a 5-star rating! (Stacia and Regina, you know how difficult that is for me!)

The 2nd book, was either a freebie or a 99-cents book this week at Amazon. See if it still is. The other books are in the $7 range, but they are really well-written and not all hype and fluff. Ms. Hill really goes for the emotion and connection between characters, not just the sex and BDSM or D/s.

[Dee]

i love the Nature of Desire series...I will say book 7 is a bit weird...and I still have to read book 8

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Lori, I'll look I to those.

Just finished Bold Tricks wow! I think I need a nap, that was a lot of action!!

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I don't know of anyone who hasn't at least gotten a replacement refurbished Kindle of their same model. I had a friend who had a Kindle 2 and he broke it and they upgraded him to a newer model (refurbished). Amazon is really great in terms of customer service like that.

I opted out of the 2 year warranty.

[Kay]

I also noticed that I have been getting a new ereader every other year...so opting out on the warranty is ok by me.

I had the 1st gen Nook also and I hardly ever used the 3g.

[Kay]

I also just ordered a used copy of which is from my youth. I think I read it around 10 yrs old and it was one of the first romance books I read. I can't wait to see how i'd feel about it as an adult.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I loved the Sweet Dreams line when I was younger, Kay! I think my favorite was called 'My Secret Love.' I still have it somewhere.

I also loved the 'Couples' books.

[Kay]

I loved this series too. I don't know how many I read back then but I read a lot! I use to take the bus to Berkeley by myself just to go to the used book store to find sweet dreams and other various books I enjoyed back then.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Oh wow! I read P.S. I love you as a kid too! I didn't even remember until you posted it, hahaha. I loved that one. I read a few of those. I remember I used to get them from the used book store that was in our downtown area. It's not there anymore, but that's where I would find all those.

Couples too! I loved those books.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I miss my button that tells me how many books I've rated!

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Finished Bold Tricks and Now i'm back to Outlander and i'm noticing all kinds of things this third time around.

I want Jamie's parents book so bad. I know they have an amazing love just like J & C. I want to read it!

[Regina]

I agree. I can't count how many times I have read Outlander - I think maybe 5 times, I agree that every time I read it I catch something new.

What button is that Angie?

I just finished and I really enjoyed it.

Am starting

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and ended up liking the second half better than the first half, except for the (view spoiler)[baby talk/baby shopping, which seemed like it came from left field. (hide spoiler)]

Working on and and really liking both of them so far.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Regina... I cannot wait to read that series by Littlefield.

I just got to the part in Outlander that always makes me cry, (view spoiler)[ Where claire tells Jamie she's from the future, 1945 and he wants to send her back. Oh man, I had to put it aside to clean the house for a bit and prep for the week. Then i'll dive into the book and cry my eyes out. Haha! (hide spoiler)]

I'm drowning in ARC's - Keep me away from NG people, it's a dang addiction and I can't possible read this many books. Yikes!

We're having a lazy Sunday and it's fantastic!! Wish the same for everyone :)

There used to be a silvery gray box in the top right that told me how many books I've rated. It's gone now.

[Tellulah]

Found an HR that broke my meh reading slump of these books. LOVE!

[Lisa]

I just finished which is a perfect October Halloween read, involving ghosts, graveyards and romance. Oh and murder mystery. I really liked it and so picked up book 2 today.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I am rereading .

[Ian]

Fans of contemporary romance...you really need to get onto the Terri Osburn train before it leaves the station.
If you take the very best from Jill Shalvis / Robyn Carr...maybe even Susan Elizabeth Phillips, then make it 10% better, you've got Terri Osburn. Just finished Up to the Challenge. Really good.



I've started Written in Red which is good so far...a bit more wordy than I normally like but I'm not pounding my head into any walls (yet).



Also started (@chapter 2) Loveland...the prologue is a mess, but I have hopes for a very good Western HR.

That's been on my TBR list for years... I'll have to give it a try.

[Ian]

Have you ever had a thing where a book you've read is so good that you're embarrassed to write a review because nothing you can say will be good enough?

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

Yes, Ian. For a book I read back in February. I still haven't written the review. LOL

I just bought it on Amazon. It does look good!

I do that all the time and mostly given up trying to write reviews. But that's just me. Mine usually sound so lame :/

The Restorer is really good and I nearly gave it 5 stars but I'm trying to not be so easy with the stars so now I mostly give out 4 and 3 stars LOL. I think it has just the right amount of creepiness to not totally scare readers. At least it didn't scare me and slept just fine, even while camping and having read it before lights off. Although, it has potential if I was alone reading it and it was stormy outside. There's a "thing" that reminded me of the Fever books - that dark evil blob thing. And lots of mystery - takes place in the South.

Lisa, I'm not so quick to give out 5 stars, etc. I did give it five. I think. I'm waiting for the other books in the series to come out. Each book got better and the writing is so descriptive. Just fantastic.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Ian, I want to know what you just read... because now I must read it. haha!
