[Valerie]

[Kristina]

okay so I went to the library's weekend sale yesterday and got



and I got about 10 Baby Sitters Little Sister books, I'm trying to complete my collection. I also got a bag of "mystery/misc" YA books age 7-12 for $2. Altogether I paid 20.00!

[Roberta]

I just bought The War That Killed Achilles: The True Story of Homer's Iliad and the Trojan War, a historical review of the Iliad. Has anybody actually made it through the actual Iliad? I always meant to and I am an English major so I guess I should.

[Kristina]

I did, Roberta, but it was in HS when I had a teacher to guide me through it! I liked the story but I'm not sure I'd enjoy it so much if I read it on my own

Jenny, the audiobook of "The Help" is fantastic!

[Roberta]

Am I the only one who has a hard time with audio books. I love the idea but drift right off when I try to listen.

[Valerie]

I've picked up several recently, the 1st 5 from B&N today:

[Beverly]

I'm reading James Michener's book Chesapeake. I just started and can tell already I'm going to love it. It takes place over several centuries. I'm not always in the mood for long, detailed books, but when I am it's like licking on a all day sucker.

[Beverly]

I did many years ago and really liked it, but I never seem to finish the Oddesey.

[Janice, Moderator]

I just bought Crestmont, The Birth of Venus, and The Chosen Soul. All of them are Kindle editions.

I bought The Chosen Soul based solely on the cover. I did't read the blurb - decided to have some fun. It was $1 to download so a minor expense if I don't like it.

[Valerie]

Went to B&N again today, and got

[Kristina]

Kristina Salem's Lot scared the liver out of me when I read it many years ago. I remember throwing it across the room at a particularly scary moment.

[Kristina]

Diamondpool - Nope I've only read the first one in the original warriors series, and I loved it! I just bought Firestar's Quest because I knew I'd be reading it eventually

Roberta- I haven't read it yet but I'm really excited to!

[Karendenice]

I haven't bought anything lately but I do have 41 actual books and 3 ebooks checked out from my library. Good thing that I read fast. ;)

[Janice, Moderator]

I have 48 books on my TBR shelf which means that I have them in my possession in one format or another. My wishlist is for books I want to get.

I just added another book tonight. It will be the next book read at my book club - Breathless. I don't think I've read any of Dean Koontz books.

[Kristina]

Got a few more for my Nook color

[Tory]

Found and at garage sales today.

[Kristina]

[Kristina]

[Jeanie ~ MyFairytaleLibrary]

Chosen by Chandra Hoffman. It's about a social worker who works with expectant mother's and the adoptive parents of the baby. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and I'm really enjoying it.

[Janice, Moderator]

Hi Jeanie - welcome to You'll Love This One. Chosen LP: A Novel sounds interesting.

[Dem]

The Blackberry Bush just popped through my door this morn, for some reason I am very excited about this book, hope its as good as I am building it up to be.

[Robert]

Semi-detached
Reading this and gives great memories of growing up in sixties.I am a bit youngerthan Griff Rees Jones

[Valerie]

I ordered a Taste of Home cookbook from B&N a couple days ago, and got it for half price! Yay me!! LOL Then I ordered ... and while I was in the store this afternoon, I bought 2 more by the same author, and ... Has anyone here read any of these books by Jill Mansell? If so, what did you think of them?

[[deleted user]]

I just got these for my IPad-

[Janice, Moderator]

Which app do you use on your iPad? I've got kindle, ibooks, and kobo.

[[deleted user]]

I have ibooks, Kindle, Stanza and B&N Nook for the ipad apps, but I primarily use ibooks, and Stanza, but for me, ibooks gives the best reading experience over all. I also use ibooks and Stanza on my iphone when I'm away from my ipad and want to read. I love my ipad! I've spent so much money on ebooks since I bought my ipad.

[Janice, Moderator]

I can't get B&N Nook here in Canada. I like Kindle the best because it offers the lowest prices (iBooks is the highest) and it has a night feature where the screen is black with white print. I can read in bed and it doesn't annoy my husband. He groans when I come to bed with a paperback. "Can't you read your iPad thingy?" LOL!

I love my iPad too. I have audiobooks on it as well which I listen to on my commute. I loved it so much I bought an iPhone and a MacPro.

[[deleted user]]

Wow! How funny, because along with my ipad and iPhone, I also have a Mac book Pro. My daughter and son-in-law also have iPads and iphones and my daughter has a Mac book Pro. I haven't tried an audio book yet because I enjoy reading so much on the ipad!

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm still in the learning curve of shifting from PC to Mac on the MacBook Pro, but then I haven't spent much time playing with it. There's a tutorial that I want to follow. Once I get used to it, I'm sure it will be smooth sailing. I recently bought the audiobook Remarkable Creatures and downloaded it to the Mac. But when I sync'd my iPad, it didn't transfer over, so I need to figure out how to do that too.

I guess I'm not really off topic here because I just bought the MacBook. :)

[[deleted user]]

Make sure in iTunes, u checked the box, sync audio books under books(at the top in itunes) after u have clicked on your device

[Janice, Moderator]

I thought I had done that, but I'll explore a bit more in the next little bit. Thanks. :)

[Tory]

I went to the Salvation Army and picked up

[Kristina]

Okay, went on another spree and got

[Roberta]

[Sandy]

Just bought (five minutes ago on my Kindle) In the Bleak Midwinter by Julia Spencer-Flemingbased on a friend's recommendation. Looking forward to getting to it, but have to finish Moloka'i first!

Kristina's going to be busy over the next little while! :)
