I'm reading the 7th Victim by Alan Jacobson, it was a free Kindle find, I also downloaded Crush and Velocity. FBI Profiler Karen Vail is as good a character as you could find in one of Patricia Cornwell or James Patterson's books.........if murder mysteries are your thing, you'll love Alan Jacobson!

I am terrible, I havent had the time to really sit down to read, but I am still downloading books "to be read"..lol
I read but i still have 11 pages of books on my Kindle and I only got it last Christmas, my archives are getting pretty full to! Does anyone know how much can actually be saved on the kindle?

I read a couple paper books, but now I'm reading
on my Kindle. I really liked her first book The Keep, and might like this one even more.
I am just over half way through The Trophy Taker by Lee Weeks as I got it free from the Kindle store.
I have finished The Trophy Taker yesterday and after looking at a few books I finally managed to decide on one and that book was Dan Brown's Deception Point
Nathanael Greene: A Biography of the American Revolutionby Gerald M. Carbone
Bought alot of kindle books today too

I loved it, although I had to force myself through the first 250 pp.
then I watched the movie and was so glad I read the book first
I've just started The Help, I've been hearing only good things about it so far, and I really liked the first couple of chapters.
Just finished Catching Fire which both interested and put me off all at the same time. It was both too neat and than too disorganized...or something, I just am not sure. It probably just tore at my emotions, heartstrings and so much more to the point where I forgot which way is up and which way is down. Probably will take me a few days or so for it to fully settle in with meNow I am trying to decide if I want to finish up with Mockingjay now or if I want to let the last book settle with me first.
I'm currently reading one of Trisha Ashley's books.. called Twelve Days Of Christmas.. I'm really loving it. here's a bit about it.. go buy its wonderful xxChristmas has always been a sad time for young widow Holly Brown, so when she's asked to look after a remote house on the Lancashire moors, the opportunity to hide herself away is irresistible – the perfect excuse to forget about the festivities.
Sculptor, Jude Martland, is determined that this year there will be no Christmas after his brother runs off with his fiancée and he is keen to avoid the family home. However, he will have to return by the twelfth night of the festivities, when the hamlet of Little Mumming hold their historic festivities and all of his family are required to attend.
Meanwhile, Holly is finding that if she wants to avoid Christmas, she has come to the wrong place. When Jude unexpectedly returns on Christmas Eve he is far from delighted to discover that Holly seems to be holding the very family party he had hoped to avoid.
Suddenly, the blizzards come out of nowhere and the whole village is snowed in. With no escape, Holly and Jude get much more than they bargained for – it looks like the twelve days of Christmas are going to be very interesting indeed!
I am reading Dark Star and Frederica, but Frederica, which started out fun is boring me, and Dark Star isn't. Dark Star is an intense and very interesting read. It takes place in Germany, Russia, and France (mostly France) just before the German invasion of Poland and at the height of Stalin's purges. The protagonist is a Russian/Polish Jew who spies (not entirely willingly) for the NKVD.
I'm reading Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places which is a good short non-fiction read. Perfect for making my house feel even warmer in these winter months.
I finished Dark Star (great book) and am now reading Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood. I thought the first 5-6 chapters were a bit stillted, but I'm liking it quite a bit now. The bits on the movie Bonnie and Clyde are the best.
A Game of Thrones - George RR Martinfans of the book assure me that I should have it read before the HBO series starts.

I just started reading Bullet by Laurell K. Hamilton. I'm only a few pages in, but it seems to be ok so far...

Guernsey is awesome. I didn't think it was the kind of book I'd like, but adored it when my friend shoved it into my hand and made me start reading. I got hooked and finished it before the weekend was over.
