Tina Boscha (tinaboscha) | 19 comments I'm just about to start Carry Yourself Back to Me by Deb Reed, and downloaded a sample of Tolle's the Power of Now. The closer I get to 40, the more I'm attracted to the more spiritual/self-helpy kind of writing (despite some of the criticisms).

Tina Boscha (tinaboscha) | 19 comments Immediately after finishing book two I raced off to Costco and bought book three. Those books are amazing!


message 1207: by Betsy (new)

Betsy Almost finished with A Rising Thunder, the latest in the Honorverse sci-fi series. This is an advance e-copy, not due to be released until March.

Tina, that is a great advantage of having the Kindle. I didn't have to rush off to Costco. I just used the Buy With One Click button at Amazon and the books appear on the Kindle. Dangerous too as I have now too many books to be read. When I was buying print I might get two or three books at a time. Now I end up buying more. Guess that is Amazon's plan. Hehe.

Elle (louiselesley) I just started Flash and Bones by Kathy Reichs after really struggling to get through my first Terry Pratchett book and giving up.


message 1212: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 542 comments Shame you didn't like Pratchett. He is very funny, but very British. And he tends to get a bit precious. But I like that in an author ...


message 1213: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) I honestly never felt stupider reading a book! I just couldn't understand a thing he was saying and every time I came back to it I couldn't remember the names/words so I got confused.

It was just.. not something I like to read. I like easy things that don't require much thinking :P

DJ =^^= (debzee) | 32 comments I am reading cozy mysteries right now. I finished Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich and Death by the Dozen by Jenn McKinlay. I have over 300 books on my kindle that I have not read yet.

And here I was thinking I had an addiction! :)
You'll never be out of reading material. I have well over 300 & can anyone tell me why I keep downloading more??!! Oh yea...that's right...I have a slight addiction.. :)


message 1217: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) I don't even read descriptions anymore. I just download EVERYTHING then when I go through it I delete if it is rubbish :P

Ginger Louise-Lesley wrote: "I don't even read descriptions anymore. I just download EVERYTHING then when I go through it I delete if it is rubbish :P"

I have to read descriptions or else I won't buy unless it happens to be by my fav author. I can understand if they're freebies, but if it's more than 2.99 or so, I just can't do it. I'm still unemployed & I just can't afford to download everything. I like your idea, Louise-Lesley, but just can't do it. :)


message 1219: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) Oh most of mine are free!

Poor student here :P

I only have about 50 or so bought ones and those are over the last year and a lot of them are in series that I know I will love.

OHHHH! Ok, I gotcha! That makes sense to me. I was thinking you must have unlimited funds to download everything...LOL....we poor students/unemployed folks love them freebies!!! LOL


message 1221: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) Ohhh noo, not at all. Although all I've asked for Christmas is Amazon Vouchers so heres hoping for a great stock pile to buy loads :D

So far, sweet, maybe a little predictable, but a very nice read.


message 1228: by Ginger (new)

Ginger Thanks Karen M.! Good to know! Maybe I can get to that book sometime in Dec.


A Voracious Reader (a.k.a. Carol) (avidreader68) I'm reading Gargoyles. Good book!

Jex (jexball) Acadia, Book I The Lost King and the Goddess of Time (The Second Great War Trilogy) by Ali Naqvi I just started Acadia, Book I: The Lost King and the Goddess of Time. I was given this to review but kept putting it off for some reason.

I had to LOL at your last line. I also like easy things that don't require much thinking. Although I do enjoy a good mystery. I'm just not a 'deep thinker' and avoid books where I have to find the 'deeper meaning'. Nope, I'm like a waterbug, happily skating across the surface of life (well, books).

HAHA.

Yes. Completely. I love a good mystery now that makes me think but that isn't the deep philosophical kind of thinking or the deep thinking back to my school day English lessons.

Helen I've just started City of Bones, good so far although I'm only about 4% in.

I've got Christmas at Harrington's too. Hope I get to it this month. Am reading Maine right now and I suspect I'll be getting notified to pick up In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by next week.

That was pre-Kindle for me!

I just bought The Art of Racing in the Rain for 3.99 and devoured that book. I told my kid that I was reading a book from the perspective of a dog and she told me that is the worst book for me as I already have anthropomorphised (sp) my dogs! (Did I write that correctly? Sheesh!)

One day I hope that I'll pop in here and see someone posting my own book. :-)

I have read only one of the short stories so far, but hope to read the rest this week. Stories for Sendai an Anthology by Michelle Davidson Argyle

Tiffany I just finished reading "Before i Fall By: Lauren Oliver"- (I love the book but i hate half of it, its so upsetting!) i am thinking to read next "13 Reasons Why By: Jay Asher"

Denise (drbetteridge) The White Tiger
Really, uhh, different!


message 1250: by Beth (new)

Beth I just finished Cutting for Stone, which was a phenomenal read, even though it's not a mystery, but a family saga. The author is a doctor, so there are a lot of medical situations in the book, and the India/Ethiopia/US settings are very interesting. I learned a lot!

I've started reading an old favorite, Murder on the Orient Express. Since I'm writing a variant of a locked-room mystery (a group of whitewater rafters stuck in a remote river canyon with a killer, in my case), I thought I'd return to this locked-room mystery written by a master, for inspiration.
