Yay - looks like we're doing well on the Christmas goals!

Favourite book of the tournament has probably been the 1st one I read which was Into the Darkest Corner which I'd recommend - I couldn't put it down.

Doesn't feel like it's been a month already

That sounds like my kind of book. I read a description somewhere that was VERY similar (about the friends not believing) but I love those kinds of books. Gonna look for it. :)

I read the first of the Cormoran Strike, and it was just ok for me. I couldn't get through the 2nd one, ended up giving up on it about 10% in.

I haven't read any of the Grisha books yet, but they are on my "I'll get to it at some point" TBR. :)

Anita Reads | 1677 comments Hey, I'd like to say sorry for having been really inactive in here for the past week. I have only finished 1 book, but I've kind of gotten in to a slump. That happened last year in December as well.

Hopefully I'll get some reading done anyhow.

Sometimes it won't total for me (the pages). Sometimes it just shuts down completely on me. I've had many issues with it this time and it's so frustrating!


message 826: by Tina (new)

Tina | 97 comments Does any of you use Kindle? In that case, do you know how many devices you can connect to one account?
I have a Kindle and was thinking of giving my sister some Kindle books for Christmas. She hasn't used the Kindle yet, so it will be a new experience for her and I'll borrow her my device. But if she likes it, then maybe she will want a Kindle of her own and then we can share my account. Will that work?

Nicole B | 185 comments I think you can link an account to 3 kindles, or rather when i was using my mum's account it was 2 on one so 3 sounds about right

You can have up to 6 devices I believe.


message 829: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3799 comments There's no limit on how many devices can use the account... However a book can only be downloaded to a max of 6 devices. So basically 6 kindles (or phones or tablets) can be used if you want to access all the books in the account.
