Brittni (bmh_37) | 2 comments I'm currently reading Invisible I'm actually enjoying it so far. It was the first book I picked up on my newly purchased Kindle and it was free so I'll take what I can get until I get used to buying the books! haha :)

Betsy I started reading At Home in the Universe: The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity in trade paperback for a GR group read, but I found that I couldn't hold it for very long -- I have mild arthritis in my hands. So I downloaded the Kindle version, which is much lighter and easier to hold. However, this is a non-fiction book with many illustrations that are important to the content, and they just don't display very well on the Kindle. So, I keep them both available when I'm reading -- Kindle for main text reading, paperback to refer to illustrations. Costly, but it works.

I probably wouldn't normally buy both, but I already had the paperback and I really wanted to read it on Kindle.

Thea Atkinson (theaatkinson) | 42 comments I have been devouring the Game of Thrones series. Finally on the last one: A Dance with Dragons. Loving it. Can't wait to get home from work each day to wade through more of Jon Snow and Aarya and Sansa and all the rest.

Betsy Recently started In the Blood and Multiples of Six, both of which I discovered in this GR group.

Elle (louiselesley) in theory i've started The Vampire's Assistant but i'm more into actually organising my Kindle into collections atm.

Mhairi Simpson (mhairisimpson) | 106 comments Just started Sandra Schwab's Bewitched. I think I got it as a freebie - it's surprisingly entertaining so far. I say surprisingly because I'm a big fan of Regency romances and paranormal romances and I've never previously encountered a combination of both!


message 1067: by Helen (new)

Helen I enjoyed sorting mine into collections, felt like a real librarian!


message 1068: by Kathy (new)

Kathy (bookgoddess1969) I have mine organized into collections also. Before I organized it, I found that for some reason all the books by an author wouldn't be together in the list and I couldn't seem to move things around. This way I put them where I want them in the collections and I love it.


message 1069: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) at first i was like 'who cares' but my OCD has went mental and I've spent more time sorting than reading the last few days - it is taking HOURS!

Hours? How are you organizing it? You must have alot of books on yours!

not even organising it that well. just separating it into free/bought/read/un-read/top 200 list/10 friends 10 books = nearly 2000 books. ACH. I am an ebook hoarder. I admit it.


message 1073: by Kathy (new)

Kathy (bookgoddess1969) lol. I did authors names, and some subjects: history, biographys, self-help, etc. Plus I have alot of random titles that I couldn't figure out what collection to put it in that I would remember to look for it in. Once you are done, though, maintaining is easy. :)

Boy, do I need to do that or what? I did a quicky shot at that just so I could function, but I have much greater ambitions as regards Kindle organization.

Dick Peterson (dickpeterson) | 7 comments I've got Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman (currently my main push) and A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway (as a prelude to The Paris Wife by Paula McLain) going on my Kindle. On the side, Nick Chase's Great Escape by Chris Orcutt (an old book by a writer friend) has the honor of being the first print book I've read since becoming a Kindler two Februaries ago. All three are worthy reads. The first impetus to do Feast is that Orcutt says it's his favorite and that he reads it at least once a year. When McLain's book came out, it crossed my mind that Feast and Wife would make a great one-two punch.


message 1077: by Dick (new)

Dick Peterson (dickpeterson) | 7 comments I like to do novels by people who are famous for something other than writing novels. I've done novels in the last year by Bill O'Reilly and Lis Wiehl. I also reached back and did one of the cop novels written years ago by E. Howard Hunt, famous as an agent of the CIA and as a Watergate burglar. I just signed on for audible.com for audio books for my Kindle. My two upfront freebies were a book without text to speech (Glenn Becks's The Overton Window) and a book that is out of print and has no Kindle version (The Campaign by Marilyn Tucker Quayle (former Second Lady of the United States) and Nancy Tucker Northcott (Marilyn's sister)). I'm looking forward to both.

I was in spired by comments on this group to organize my kindle content. I love it now. I was so intimidated by all of the options randomly listed. Now I am not so overwhelmed and can pick something to read more easily.

After reading about organizing the books on Kindle, I'm wishing I could do the same!! I have sooo many, but I have a 1st generation & can't afford to upgrade. Oh well, serves me right for wanting it right after it came out. But I still LOVE it!!


message 1082: by Helen (new)

Helen Can you organise that via Calibre or something? I'm sure someone said they did but I might be lumping comments together.

I'm not sure...I can figure out how to do some things, but other things not so much.....like Calibre...LOL

I really enjoyed Shogun when I read it many years ago. It was such a different culture. But well handled, I think.

Ginger I started Open Season by C.J. Box tonight. I'm only about 10% into it, but I'm loving it so far. The main character Joe Pickett is great so far.

I am really enjoying it. For some reason, I had started it twice before and couldn't get past the first chapter, but this time...straight through it. It's a bit confusing at times, but I just keep reading and it all becomes clear again. I'm glad I gave it another chance. 60% done now.


message 1087: by Denise (new)

Denise (drbetteridge) I've started reading Aleph, which is so very different than anything I've ever read before. It's interesting and easy to read. I think it was spurred on by a mild mid-life crisis. ;)


message 1088: by Betsy (new)

Betsy Just started The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York for a GR group read. I was reading four other books, but having trouble maintaining interest in any of them, so I moved them to my Paused shelf and started this one. So far, so good. Really interesting and well written. Maybe later I'll be in a different mood and able to go back to those other books.

Then type in the book and you should see the cover of the book. Hope that helps. Right now I am reading Footsteps in Time (After Cilmeri #1) by Sarah Woodbury

Sandybeach (5andybeach) | 4 comments I'm an adult who has entered the world of YA genre. I started out buying books for my Nieces and Nephews and I would end up reading the books before giving them to them. Now I'm buying them for myself. At the moment I'm zooming through the Septimus Heap series on the Kindle and am in the middle of Book 5 "Syren". I'm finding the genre is a nice break in between the murder and gore that I love reading. :^)

Pam G (pgarey) I am reading The Darkest Surrender (Lords of the Underworld, #8) by Gena Showalter and it's really good. I finally broke down and organized all my TBRs into collections. Took a couple of hours but worth it. I had over 50 pages of books, mostly free ones. Now it's so much easier to decide what to read next.
