Me too. I read the first three MI books but haven't gotten to these. Although my daughter is scoffing at me because of it.


I started


I haven't had much chance to read lately. I skim-read Walking Disaster and it was pretty weak. It was a completely pointless sequel.

I heard Walking Disaster and Flat-Out Matt is basically a repeat of the other book but in the guys' POV. These should have been a free books as opposed to charging fans for the same story.

I wasn't very impressed with Flat-Out Matt either. It wasn't awful like WD was, but I felt like I could have done without most of it. I did like getting Julie's epilogue though.

Have you found the < and > keys? I want to post status updates from my Nook but can't make spoiler tags without those. The old Nook had those keys under the numbers setting when you clicked on the alt key.

I'm reading it now, and I feel like BD had more feeling, it's missing a little something, but I don't dislike it.

Thanks Kay! I'll have to try that out. I only want to use it for posting the occasional status update when I'm in the middle of reading and don't want to switch devices.
What about hold/drag for highlighting? I haven't figured that out yet either, so I just highlight/note on the first word of the sentence. That setup seems to be different from my Kindle, although accessing notes is much quicker on the Nook.
I did finally figure out how to get back to the book I was on by making the index at the bottom right corner my currently reading button. It took me a minute to figure out how to set that.

For highlight, when you touch and hold down on the word you want to start with, there will be 2 lines that appear on each end of the word. Touch your finger on the line at the end of the word and then start dragging until you are done with the highlight.

After you've done that, the open book icon on the bottom right hand of the screen will turn into your currently reading button.

I am enjoying


I don't care how long 'til the end of the chapter or book! Those sorts of stats just make me crazy! I'm either too competitive and I want to BEAT the reading speed they have me at. Or I get too hung up on making sure I make that time.
I know... sad, isn't it?


Regina...thanks. The coffee is from the coffee bar at Nordstrom which I feel is so much better than Starbucks.
Thats's funny, Lori. I'd probably be feeling the same way about having a reading speed set. LOL

I started

Girl after my own heart!! Congrats on the new reader :)
I wish we had a nordstrom... I am going to the new outlets in Livermore... have you been there yet Kay?

Then I'm a sad, sad girl. LOL I totally time myself.

Thanks, Leea!
When are you going? With or without the kids? I haven't been there yet but I work only a few exits away. I heard it's really nice but just haven't really had the funds to go full on shopping.


Angie - to each her own, right? I was ticked because I expected there to be a setting to turn it off. But once I discovered I could change what it said from Reading speed to the Page or Location, I was OK.
Have fun with it!

I started

So they did let you get another! YAY!!

I refuse to even touch WD, but I'm such a sucker for nerdy boys/men, that I couldn't resist Flat Matt!! I agree that I could have done without a lot of the Flat Matt, but I liked the Finn prequel and I loved the epilogue, so I completely agree. Also with the idea of something so short being given as a gift to the fans.

Oh nice! Especially b/c you won't have the kids around. Let me know next time when you go and maybe I can meet up with you there for coffee or grub...I would love to finally meet you!
This sunday I'm going to Napa to see NKOTB! My friend won tickets on the radio. I'm so excited!

Yeah...they did! I think the guy who helped me didn't know what he was doing b/c he gave me full credit for how much I paid for it which was $225. The Nook HD is only $199. So, I basically didn't pay anything for it. I did buy the warranty, a new case and a screen protector. I walked out the door only spending $75.

LOL! I love it when I get the right kind who don't know what they're doing, but only when it works in my favor!

Yes!! We'll set something up for sure...
How exciting Kay, have fun!

I won't be reading anything by either author from here on out (long story) but I read both for curiosity/closure sake. I'm with you on the epilogue for FoM. It was probably my favorite part (view spoiler) that was aweseome.


It was okay. Not bad, not great.

Paloma, I loved it -- you all will love it. The sex scenes are great and it is a nice believable build. And it was nice to *see* Taryn and Trey. :) I am looking forward to the third.
Stacia, since you are on a short story kick - -why not give


That cover is nice though (re Damaged)

So cool!!! Enjoy NKOTB!

I might if I can get a hold of a copy.

I'm going with my friend who won the tix on the radio. The event is actually thru contest only and tix can't be bought. http://liveinthevineyard.com/ There's only going to be about 300 people there...so super small and I'm super excited!

I'm about half way through


I'm about half way through

Leea, it is funny, b/c Hot Pursuit was the first one I read. I had read the first two and then Hot Target years ago, like in 2004. Then I didn't read any for years and then I went looking for the series in 2010 and this was the first one I read since 6 years before. So I loved Hot Pursuit, it did blow me away. But maybe b/c it was the first for me after so many years away. I can see why it wouldn't be for you. The peeks at Izzy were good and then I liked getting to know Dan. He won't redeem himself in this book. Oh no! He gets worse.
Sorry Paloma I can't -- but I know you will love it when you get it! Which author?

Wow Kay!! I don't know anyone who ever won tickets on a radio before so cool. Very very nice that it will be such a small gathering. I bet you get a picture with someone in the band.


That looks like an interesting book, Regina. Let us know what you think! I love finding unique plots.




Moving on to the next book, maybe
