Oh, I got that one Psmoore! It was such a good price, and such great reviews I couldn't resist. Please post what you think of it when you're done!
@Scott.Thanks for the help, it's was nice and easy.@Jenny,so glad you like them. I also read them in paperpack. I just got my Nook less then a month ago.
Hi everyone! I just finished "Fifth Avenue, 5am" and "Superfreakonomics" and now I am reading "One Day" and of course my subscription to The New Yorker. Love Love my Nook :)
I'm starting a reread of Fugitive Prince by Janny Wurts. Its a fabulous series.
Currently halfway through East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Definitely Steinbeck's greatest achievement in literature.
I finished The Fleet Street Murders, which was excellent! I'm now excited to be starting Kings of the Earth.
I am reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I'm really getting into it and have a feeling I'll be finished with it soon.
I've been on a WWII reading spree, and I just started The Winds of War by Herman Wouk...great so far! After I finish this one I'm going to move on to War and Remembrance by the same author.

Well I just finished Think Of A Number. Very good book. It's was a pretty quick read as I couldn't put it down. Chapter and chapter kept my going. Susan - The Passage I thought was a GREAT book. Can't wait for the next two in the series. They've already started working on the movie.
Now I'm gonna pick back up with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (if I can get past the boring stuff in the beginning.. hard to hold my interest so far) gonna give it a little longer to get my interest or it's going bye bye..
What page are you on?BTW-the Passage is my next book to read!

I am reading
but there are so many books I really want to read this month.
and more
Fugitive Prince is a reread for me, but first time was on the Kindle download for PC and I couldn't do searches etc. I'm so glad I was able to find it for Nook.
I'm working my way through the J.D. Robb "..In Death" series of books. I do love a good murder and a smart detective!
Just got the nook! I will be reading Cal. Leandros 5 when I get home andload it on my nook. First post from my nook!!!

I'm reading Think of a Number
now and I'm really enjoying it! You're right..tough to put down.Also, try to keep going with The girl with the Dragon Tattoo...the beginning is a struggle, but I swear that the worst part and the rest of the book is so worth it. I absolutely loved it!
Kelly, I love the 'In Death' series! I've read all of them and always eagerly anticipate the next.Jamie, congratulations on your new Nook! What did you name it?
Currently I am reading The Circle Trilogy. I am not quite halfway through the first book and it is pretty good so far.I would consider this a sci-fi book since the main character jumps between two different worlds.
Kelly wrote: "I'm working my way through the J.D. Robb "..In Death" series of books. I do love a good murder and a smart detective!"I listened to these on audio last year and enjoyed them a lot. The narrator is very good. Susan Erickson.
Jamie, congratulations on your new Nook! What did you name it?"We're supposed to name it? ::giggle:: What did you name yours?

Chapter 2 did get better, so I'm gonna keep going for a bit and see.

Thanks. =]
For now I just named it "My Library." I'm gonna name it something else once I think of a fitting name. Though, really, it is my library.
Got a nook for my birthday yesterday and am loving it! I got home kinda late so I only loaded up one book on it, but I'm enjoying it so much! Currently reading: Roadkill (Cal Leandros #5) by Rob Thurman. It's so wonderful reading on the nook.
Sandra AKA Sleo wrote: "We're supposed to name it? ::giggle:: What did you name yours?"I haven't come up with a really good name yet, unfortunately. I guess I'm just not very clever. Maybe I should just call it "My Happy"?
just finished
and am now reading
. Loved the Sweetness book- can't wait to start the next one... oh have to wait to payday-lol perhaps I need a second job to keep up with my book obsession... both books read on my nook- toatally love it!

I named mine my chat handle. Pretty much what I name all the electronic/bluetooth stuff -- "FrogFart"

Hmmm, well I'll have to think of a name.
I'm reading The Iron King. I didn't mean to, though! I meant to read the first page and then didn't stop. It sucked me right in!
Currently reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong....very original take on werewolves!
Lori wrote: "Currently reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong....very original take on werewolves!"I want to try Kelley Armstrong. Do you think this is a good book to start with? I've heard good things about it.
I loved Bitten when I read it! I say go for it Jenny!
I have Bitten on my tbr list. I hope I get to it really soon..heard good things.

This is my first book by this author and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Will definitely read the rest in this series.
I am reading Dark Lover, Black Dagger Brotherhood series book 1. LOVE it! And then I will finish Beastly by Alex Flinn. It's good, but dragging for me so I needed a break from it. Anyone hate when the ebook has a space between every paragraph?? Drives me crazy! But I try not to let it.
Leana,I just finished Dark Lover and also loved it! I plan on reading the series back to back. I also hate the space on the ebooks but it usually happens to me with pdfs. I downloaded the Calibre software which converts pdfs into epub format which is what most ebooks come in. This has omitted the blank pages for me!!!

Sweet Lori! Can't wait to read the next one. I will finish this book before I get paid so I will haveto wait to buy book #2 :(. But as soon as I get paid I'm getting it!My husband uses that software for my books when I buy e books somewhwere other than b&n! It helps a ton. but I've noticed even with Ebooks I get from b&n some still come that way.
doesn't drive me crazy enough to not read the books though! :-)

I've listened to a couple of them too and that's actually what got me hooked. I do love my Nook, though!! I've also been working my way through Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake series. Really enjoying them!
ps my Nook is "George" ;-)
Hahaha Kelly! Love your Nooks nickname. Mine is Betty. Not really sure how I cake up with it but its stuck.I have some of the in death series but I think I want them as audio books now. I haven't gotten into them but I've heard nothing but good things about theme.
I've only read the first Anita Blake book and it wasn't my fav even though I totally love the genre. Maybe ill have to give it another try though!

Love, love, love the BDB! And the books only get better.
I just named my nook after me. I guess that wasn't very original!
I'm still thinking what to name it. How does 'My Secret Stash' sound?
