[Michael]

Kindle store is bad, the ability to buy and obtain a book right away can't be a good thing :P

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I agree, I have sooo many paper books that I own to read, I would just go crazy!! lol

[Jessy]

I plead guilty got my little no name e reader and went and spent 30 dollars on 10 odd books from amazon.com lol

needless to say I wasn't popular with the hubby lol

[Michael]

[Jessy]

Australian Lolita, its a good quick read. Hope you enjoy it

[Trina]

I gave a maybe for this, but I think I'll say yes and find a book on my list that I own that my friends have read/want to read. I've got quite a few borrowed books, would they count??

They sure will Trina, as long as a friend has them on their list too:)

[Trina]

I think I've got about ten books floating around that I've borrowed. I should probably read them and give them back!

[Jessy]

Kinda glad this is coming up I am at a reading impasse at the moment. I dunno what book to read next and I cant commit to one if I choose one so it will be good to have the choice taken out of my hands!!!

I heard so many people say they were really upset with the ending!

[[deleted user]]

I haven’t read Lolita Knowledge but I’ve added it. It sounds like a book I would like as well. Thankyou :)

[Mish]

Michael wrote: "Good choice Mish will be interesting to read your thought on it."

No problem Michael...I let u know when I finish :)

[Michael]

I hope you like disturbing books Mish!

[Mish]

Yep I can handle a disturbing book Knowledge. I will basically read anything and it usually depends on what mood I’m in at the time.

[[deleted user]]

I haven't read Lolita yet. My impression is that you need to read it with an open mind.

David you have a great list there! Loved [book:The Book Thief|19063], Virals, which was Kathy Reichs's first foray into YA, but I can't find The 3rd Victim on my list? It should be, cos it sounds good >.<

[David]

Hi Brenda :) You are right (of course). You don't want to add it to your list by any chance do you? After all it's not October yet LOL. I'll have a look through your books and find a replacement anyway :)

[David]

Brenda, It might have to be a Lee Child one that I haven't read yet. I'll have a good look through your books when I get home. My boss is being a bit... well.. bossy (I guess).

Haha!! Just added it! There you go:) Have you read 61 Hours? That was really good:) EDIT: HA! Just checked, yes you have;D

[David]

Brenda - I owe you :) I so want to read Bauer's The 3rd Victim book and it's due back at the library in 4 days. Now I can :) Thankyou! With the Lee Child books, I've read all but the early ones (first 3 from memory). I'll push one of them up my list. The Killing Floor is supposed to be a great read and being the first in the series, I'll probably do that one...

I read that one a long time ago David, but as I've loved them all, I'm going to tell you it was great;D Let me know what you think, when you get to it...also the 3rd victim, as it sounds really good!!
