Felicia Rogers (feliciarogers) | 45 comments I'm reading Purple Heart by Elaine Cantrell by Elaine Cantrell. I won this in a blog hop and I'm really enjoying it! I highly recommend.

Mary | 4 comments I've just finished 'The picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde as part of the gothic/horror genre read. Having given up on Dracula I found this much more readable, if a little 'highbrow' at times. Just deciding what takes my fancy next. A lighter read I think.

Elle (louiselesley) I haven't touched my kindle in weeks thanks to a new job and crazy life. I actually went on it today. It didn't work so I went on the Amazon website and saw that you could do a hard reset - did it and found EVERYTHING TO BE WIPED.

Took another 5minutes for everything to come back. I am not ashamed to admit that I was in tears. I have like 2000+ books/samples on my kindle all organised perfectly - which took hours. ahhh.


Anyway. I finished the second Darren Shan book (it took me ages) and I started Colour of Magic the other day. First TP book and so far it has done nothing but confuse the hell out of me. Too many names and bits of information to remember. But enjoyable all the same

Bless your heart! I'm glad you were able to fix the problem. I don't blame you for being in tears! I would've been laying in the floor sobbing as though I lost my best friend!!! :)

Merci | 6 comments I remember in the very first week of arrival of my kindle it went blank and I was in tears as well.
Thanks to help desk they simply tought me how reset and it was back in life. God knows how grateful I was to the help desk.

And now I can't imagine being without it....

The more books you have loaded, the longer the reset takes because the device has to rebuild the index tables.

Betsy Just finished Cast in Ruin, seventh in the Chronicles of Elantra. Excellent.

Just started America Aflame, a history of American civil war, which sounds frighteningly like our current situation.

Darlene Jones (darlene_jones) | 55 comments All the books I've been wanting to read for a long time. The Tiger's Wife, The Language of Flowers, and several self- published. Enjoyed Karen McQuestion's books.

Darlene Jones (darlene_jones) | 55 comments Right now I'm reading my own book, Embattled, which just came out. Next on the list - The Cat's Table. Darlene Jones, Author

Phillip Cushman (pwcmd) | 30 comments I am reading another "free" Kindle book, "A Girl of the Limberlost" by Gene Stratton-Porter, and in spite of it being written for teenage girls, as I now understand it, I am enjoying it very much. With so many free classics out there there is no reason for me to go into debt buying $14 new books.

Thea Atkinson (theaatkinson) | 42 comments I'm going through the True Blood series right now. Pure pure brain candy. I think the overdose of sugar has affected my thinking. grin.

Helen I've just bought the latest Sookie book.


message 1173: by Stephen (new)

Stephen Harper (stephentharper) | 8 comments I'm reading Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins. Clever, bouncing prose that borders on poetry at times. Very entertaining read. Not crazy about the ebook formatting on this one. Paragraphs running together and such. When they charge as much as the paperback for the virtual copy, they should make it look right.

Also reading Angelfall by Susan Ee. Independent YA, post apocalyptic America where the apocalypse in question was brought about by marauding Angels. Ee is a very good writer. This book has the feel of Hunger Games and (so far at least) compares very favorably.

message 1178: by Tina (new)

Tina Boscha (tinaboscha) | 19 comments I just finished My Memories of a Future Life. Really funky - and good. It's both literary and a tiny bit sci-fi with a premise unlike anything else I've come across - what if you were the past life of someone else?

One of those, "Damn, I wish I had thought of that!"

Going to read Come Back to Me (Reed) next.

Coral (coralm) | 2 comments In case anyone was waiting for them, the Pliocene Saga books by Julian May (all but the 3rd) are out in eBook now! Links aren't working just yet, but if you search for Many Colored Land on Amazon you'll find the Kindle version. :) Listening to the first one on audio and have been loving it.

Betsy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I first started it last year, but couldn't get into it. Then a few days ago, when I was looking for something to read I decided to try again. Think I might make it through this time.

Thank goodness this is a library book. Rambles on and on and on ... surely there were mistakes more recently than ancient Rome ...

Betsy, I waited a long time before reading that book too. I kept seeing it on the best seller list but didn't think I would like it. I had a hard time getting into it at first as the financial back story was a slow start. But, as soon as Lisbeth was introduced I was hooked and read all three books in succession. We also rented the Sweedish movies and watched those.

I am currently reading The Hunger Games. This is another series that I have avoided and now want to see what the book is about.

My sister told me the same thing. I cant spare the money now so I will have to wait on this one. Maybe someone will give me Amazon bucks for Christmas.

sonya marie madden  | 268 comments hoping I'll get some money for Xmas to use on ebooks


message 1199: by Beth (new)

Beth I'm reading Harlan Coben's Live Wire and finding it to be very enjoyable. Now I'll have to go back and catch up on the other nine books in the series that preceded it!
