Hi everyone
I'm currently reading Oink-My life with minipigs by Matt Whyman as i just couldn't resist. Not my usual thing but enjoying it.

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on the Kindle? When ebook readers 1st came out i was totally against getting on, but as time has moved on i can see the sense in it. Any thoughts/opinions welcome

I love mine more than my other half.

It's small, light, useful doesn't stink, or complain when I show something else attention......

I'm reading The Woman he loved before by Dorothy Koomson which I hired from the library. I have most of her books but haven't read any of them. I was tempted not to bother reading The Woman he loved before and just return it. (I always feel under pressure to read it when its a library book which puts me off) but I read the reviews on amazon which were really good and so I have kept it and I am about 60 pages in. It hasn't gripped me yet but its drawing me in nicely.

I also got in the post yesterday Welcome to Hell by Colin Martin I got it off ebay for a couple of pounds so I shall probably alternate between the two.

I'm busy adding books to my amazon wish list rather than my amazon shopping basket ! I am also keeping a little notebook and writing in books i want to read. Since I have so many books to read, I can't justify buying any more (as this thread suggests!!) and I am trying also not to take out the full quota of books I am allowed from the library because I simply can't read eight books in 3 weeks ! so I am trying just to borrow a couple at a time. As most of the books I am adding to my wish list are in paperback, this means I can get them at the library with little wait and saves me the expense of buying them and trying to find a place to store them !!

happy reading all !

I've finished Bitten & Smitten by Michelle Rowen and I'm a 1/3 of a way through book 2, Fanged and Fabulous.
I'm really enjoying these books - they are an easy read with some lol moments. A bit different to some of the heavier Vampire Diaries books I have been reading.

Off to update my list...if I can find it.

Finished the Irresistible Inheritence of Wilberforce by Paul Torday. Didnt enjoy this one as much as his others which are all brill. I'd only give this one 2:T:T
I was at the library today so I have started The Crying Tree by Naseem Rakha. Im only a few chapters in so too early to give an opinion as yet. OK so far though!
