In between fixing fly screens, general housework and preparation for the upcoming Writers Festival I'm helping organise, I read The Rosie Project today. What a great book! So much fun!

Good point; However, that is an inuit aboriginal thing. Which is why it is still legal.

Sorry Melissa, I can get a bit outspoken about treatment of animals. Too much bad and not enough good. So many people prefer not to see because it upsets them, so they act like nothing is going on.
Okay, B, calm down, Rant over!

oh no! I wasn't familiar with Ms

Very sad but she certainly enjoyed life right to end.

Goodness me - hadn't caught up with this. Thank you for sharing
Found this courtesy of Penguin books, lol. Entitled: Readers during football season (american)
@B - I'm plover free..i believe that was Rita with them in her backyard. Speaking of I saw a family of 5 plovers this afternoon...Admittedly I squeed over the cuteness of the chicks...haha
Has anyone had a problem with their kindle where you purchase the book but it stays queued? I'm currently experiencing this problem and I'd delete the book but it's also not showing up on the cloud so bit worried if i delete the queued book I'll maybe lose the purchase.

Laura, my only thought is to check your network connection. This happens to me from time to time and rebooting my router usually solves it.

@Rita - That's great they have left!! :D@Melissa/Rita - Thanks for your suggestions. i know the wifi is working just did a reconnect but still on que...Rebooted the Kindle completely and still queued...I also got the email about the book purchase *phew* So, next is to try resending it as suggested :) Ty!

Amazon sent a message to say there was a problem with the purchase and to contact them if the book wasn't delivered. So it must be Amazon having a problem.

Oh that's interesting! Good they let you know, but I wonder why Laura wasn't! Perhaps the zillion people buying books made it too hard;)

Usually it's not Melissa! lol

@Brenda - Lol! Yes, maybe they decided to leave me off their emails...*sniffles* lololWell, i checked the purchase n it's stated it is pending. Still thought it was wise to send them an email about the problem just in case! Just wanted to start the book tonight..booo! ○_●

Yes that's bad luck Laura, but at least you will get it sometime!
Mod
It is!
Ahhhh...i just went into purchases on amazon n it's not showing there....it's so strange how it knows I've purchased it when i directly look at the book but when searching my kindle purchases it has no idea! ¿_¿
@Laura I know nothing about kindles and Amazon but did the purchase go through? I recently spent four weeks waiting for a delivery from David Jones, only to realise when checking PayPal, that the purchase hadn't gone through. I hadn't 'checked' the final page. Embarrassment plus!
My purchase didn't go through and I haven't been charged. Might try again in a day or two when they will have fixed the problem (hopefully!). I would contact them Laura, if it's showing up as purchased just to be sure.
I'm gathering the order went throught because I got an email to confirm the order w/an order number. But went I click through nothing shows in the recently purchased so I can't do a 'resend' to my Kindle.I will check my actual card later to see if i was actually charged. Amazon rep wrote back to me abd said tgey were working on the issue sooo maybe when i get home from work there will hopefully be another email.
But some good suggestions again guys :)
Yaaaay! Just looked on Amazon itself and then checked tge Kindle...Purchase was no longer 'pending' and there was a copy waiting to be DLed when I switched it on :DThis makes up for my sleepy morning mistake of not putting the water temp on cool enough!

Good news Laura! Not so good about the hot water though:(

Brenda - Yep! Happy it was a quick resolve too :)Faye - Ah, i only ever have about 50 books on the Kindle at a time but it was just Amazon having issues. But thanks for the suggestion :)

Agree. Some of theirs are bizarre , I had one yesterday where they suggested because I liked [book:A Book Lover's Calendar and Journal I might like one about oral sex. I must be dumb but fail to see the connection.

I think wicked gremlins have crept into the system and are recommending the opposite of what you would like to read!

Poor you Kristen, what a bad time you are having. Do you know I think it is hard enough looking after yourself when you are sick, and then having friends and or family being mean. My only advice to you is look after you concentrate on you, I speak from experience having a son with a chronic condition. Ignore them all concentrate on you and your health!.
