D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments I think maybe the next thread should say "Introduce yourself here - and your favourite food & drink.." ;)

And welcome to all the new people ;)

Andrew (truckinggeek) | 90 comments Hi there. Just introducing myself. I got my Kindle (keyboard) yesterday but have been reading kindle books on my iphone for quite a while now. Am still finding my way around the kindle. As for reading, well, I tend to like anything with words in it!! Unless,of course, it is an Audiobook from Audible which i'm fine with if it has a voice in it :-)
Looking forward to exploring this place and i'm always up for any suggestions for good reads, esp if they are free!!

Scott Collins | 34 comments Ooh, I didn't know about the favorite food and drink aspect of our introductions. I like a nice glass of wine and a fabulous cheese to go with it. Or maybe a few different glasses of wine with a few different cheeses. ;)

Andrew (truckinggeek) | 90 comments A Big thank you to eveyone who has made me welcome on here. I'm finding my way round and tweaking my profile etc. Loving my new Kindle although frustrated I haven't had the time to give it a good workout. Have got about 6 books on it to read and am planning to put more on after payday!! I'm aiming to read one book every month. How musch does everyone else read?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Some read more like one book a day, but those are the heavy hitters!

Jess Mountifield | 165 comments I try to read about two books every month but it varies depending on what else I am doing and obviously length of the book.

I would LOVE to be able to do that but work etc alway get in the way!1 One good thing about my kindle is that I, eventually, will have all my library on it, So next time I'm stuck on a loading bay in Liverpool I'll be able to read whatever I want without worrying that I've left it back at the depot in Northampton!!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I know what you mean. I think you have to be retired or something to read that much! Work is the curse of the reading classes.


message 266: by Lorraine (new)

Lorraine Versini (lorraineversini) | 8438 comments We all read at different paces Andrew, the only common point between all of us is that we all complain of not having enough reading time !

Do check out the book selections, the recommendations,and the author sections on here, you're bound to find a great book right down your alley !

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Scott, you're my kind of man. Wine and cheese - hmmmm.
Welcome aboard Andrew.
Hi again Paul (*waves*)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Uh-oh Scott... Ignite has her sights on you now! ;)


message 269: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments I have my sights on everyone GL. You can run but you can't hide!


D.M. Andrews (author) Andrews (dmandrews) | 1551 comments Andrew, welcome!


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments Hi there Andrew and welcome. I warn you now, this forum does reduce your Kindle time. People say that the Kindle is addictive. It is as nothing compared to this place.


message 272: by Paul (new)

Paul Dale (paul_dale) | 47 comments Hey Andrew. The great thing about this place is that it breaks up the working day and is generally more interesting than Facebook (am I allowed to even mention that place here?!)


message 273: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Of course you can, Paul! Lots of us in the group are on Facebook as well.
How else could we share pictures of cats?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I've just make a lovely new friend on the sci-fi forum on Amazoo. He's 81 and paints gorgeous pictures. My facebook friends are becoming more diverse every day!

Andrew (truckinggeek) | 90 comments Until I got my Kindle I spent most of my working time on faceache!! Don't worry, as a lorry driver, most of my time is spent being loaded or unloaded at depots = kindle reading time, or driving up and down motorways= audiobook listening time :-)


message 276: by J.R. (new)

J.R. Barker | 69 comments Reading time has almost completely dwindled for me. Which is a shame because this place is filled with lots of lovely books and I cannot read them all!


message 277: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I have the flat to myself tonight, I'm looking forward to some kindle time. Have to clean first though, the place is me clean but that is very different to hubby clean and of course "mother" clean. Parents come over tomorrow! (YAY!)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Glad to know the batroom is now clean... ;)


message 279: by Emma (new)

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Jud has a room for bats? Wow!! :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments We would all go in there then!


message 281: by Emma (new)

Emma (emzibah) | 4125 comments Cricket bats?


Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo) (snibborg) | 8204 comments the batroom is in the cave downstairs.

Welcome to the mad house!!!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments The sane house is around here somewhere.


message 285: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments If it is, it's well hidden.

J.R. Barker | 69 comments I've been to the sane house. It's worse than the mad house.
