Omg..thats my 2nd fave series!!! I loveeeeee those books (hence the s/n, lol). I REFUSE to watch the movie though, they changed so much. It's so disappointing.



As for me, I just started reading From Dead To Worse by Charlaine Harris.

Like you Francie...I refuse to watch the movie. The book wasn't so bad, but the movie just looks ridiculous!

My book is getting a little better...that is one reason I never quit a book. If I start it, it WILL be finished, lol...eventually. Just a slow start.

I'm about 1/4 of the way through http://www.amazon.com/Meet-Mr-Smith-...6173566&sr=8-1



It's pretty good so far, makes you rethink the way most of us view sex and purity.

Since I bought the Kindle, I've decided to download some free books. I'm starting with Bram Stoker's Dracula which I'm over half way done with. I have a list of classics that I want to read. But I also have a list of downloads to buy. I suppose I could download them all right now, but then I'd have a hard time deciding which to read first (if that makes any sense). I will get the newest Harlan Coben download as soon as it is released--sometime this month, so that may be my next book.

Okay. I decided to download all the classics I want to read. I figure that as long as they are free, I ought to have them readily available (even though each download takes less than a minute and I can do it anywhere--no computer needed).
Here's my list:

Dracula--Bram Stoker (currently reading_
My Antonia--Willa Cather
The Book of Tea--Kakuzo Okakura
Riders of the Purple Sage--Zane Gray
Jane Eyre--Charlotte Bronte (I figure since my DD read this, I ought to as well)
The Picture of Dorian Gray--Oscar Wilde
War and Peace--Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina--Leo Tolstoy
Crime and Punishment--Dostoyevsky
Pride and Prejudice--Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility--Jane Austen
Mansfield Park--Jane Austen
Great Expectations--Charles Dickens

I guess that will keep my busy for a while!

OH!!! How is that??? I thought about getting one, but I'm not sure. I'm old fashion and love the way books smell, lol.

Yeah, it is definitely not the same, but I do like it for the sake of convenience. The one thing that I don't like about it is I don't have the ability to go forward to see how many "pages" until the next chapter (something that comes in handy when you're drifting off to sleep!). Actually, you CAN go forward and back, but it isn't as fast and you have to remember where you were.

I do like the fact that you don't lose your place--like you can't drop your bookmark and wonder where you were. You can go out of a book, read some other things and then go back into the book and be right where you left off.

I just downloaded, what a dozen books. It took less than 20 minutes--the searching took the most time. Now when I go for the 6 hour round trip car ride this weekend, I'll have plenty to keep my busy.

I don't know if they've made it yet, and it could just be a movie. I saw something about it in passing on a website. Also, there's now a "movie-tie-in edition" of the paperback now.

Allison, those are some good books you've downloaded! I want a Kindle but it will be ages before I can afford one.

I finished Tears of the Giraffe (loved it) and started Philippa Gregory's The Other Queen.

Lisa~tell me how you like The Other Queen. I disliked it. It actually made me mad! I preferred the two on the Boleyn girls.

I'm now reading..The Society Of S by Susan Hubbard

I'm currently on a "Mystery Exploration" at my local library, picking up a variety of books from individual mystery series to find some new favorites.

I'm loving:
Bad Hair Day series by Nancy Cohen
Charlotte LaRue series by Barbara Colley
Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries by Tamar Myers
Lucy Stone mysteries by Leslie Meier

It's neat to discover all these new series...I have lots of other favorites, but they only come out with books so often.

Back from Las Vegas, exhausted! I finished The Help - I really enjoyed it :) I read it on my Sony Reader which has cool little number buttons so I can easily jump around the text ;)

Well, I finished my book this morning at 4:45am, lol. So later today, I'll start reading The Switch by Sandra Brown.

Holy cow, you read it fast! I used to speed-read, but now I just like to take my time and read a couple of chapters at bedtime, and make it last. I started it on Wednesday and I've read about 6 chapters so far

I'm reading the seven bride series by Leigh Greenwood. Nice western love stories.
