Who has what and is it what you wanted or thought you wanted? I have a nook and I think now that a kindle would have been better. What about you?

I'm Renee and I am alway's looking for something to read. I just finshed listing my books on library thing. I'm missing books that go lost in a moving shuffle. I am constantly adding more weekly though. Any Suggestions?

I recently bought a Kindle and have been reading practically non-stop ever since. There are ebooks at a very low price and some are free. I am reading all of Fannie Flagg's books right now and she really lifts my spirits and makes me laugh. She writes about life in a small town in 1950's Alabama (fiction) and her charactors are so richly described. I'll run out of her books soon and I know she can't write them as fast as I can read them. Can you recommend any down to earth humorous books for me? Please write if you have a Kindle and let me know of any good books.

Hello,
This is Roscoe I am a avid reader. I love a lot of different kind of books .
Books can take me to places,times , events ,and introduce me to a whole world of people and their life's experiences that I could never hope to know.
The latest good read I have finished is Philip Carlo's "The Killer Within".
I enjoyed this book very much and any thing he has wrote.
I love to find a author read some of his works and then if I like it I try to read every
he or she may have written.
Nothing I enjoy more than pouring a glass of my home made Muscadine wine ,
with some sharp cheese some olives and crackers while I explore a new book.
Cheers,Roscoe

Just finished reading Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman. It's a non-fiction book about a gal who spent about a year in prison for being a drug $$ mule. At first I couldn't stand this gal: talk about "poor little rich girl" syndrome; she was from a well-to-do family; had just graduated from college and was bored with life--poor baby--and decided to embrace a "bohemian, artistic" lifestyle; got mixed up with an older gal who talked her into being a drug $$ mule. She finally gets caught several years later--ironically after she's turned her life around--and gets sentenced to prison in CT. So at first I wasn't real sympathetic; but stuck with it because this gal really gets her eyes opened up. Very good book; very worthwhile read! (Been doing a lot of reading since my 1-1/2 year-old (!) Vista computer decided to die and now learning a new Win 7 one, aaaaargh. Some things are okay but they weren't able to save a lot of my emails or my Firefox favorites, aaaaargh. Did get a new HD monitor, though....)

Talk about a book nut...Our children and grandchildren call our home the Library...every room, every free space. our vactions end up hunting for old book stores...We collect alot of authors.....have met alot of them and have their books signed...Nothing better than soft music, a warm evening and my Hubby and I sitting reading our newest find.

The conference is free to all and convenes at EONS BOOK GALLERY - view link

There will be games and contests where visitors can win prizes.

apparently it hits the shelves 8/4, more of a comedy than not, or so the internet rumor mill has it. I can't wait...it's more exciting than a new Dylan Album

If any is left, I buy food and clothes".

Hello, to everyone in the group

Is there room on that comfy looking sofa for one more voracious ( albeit discriminating) reader?

I am currently reading, The Saffron Kitchen, about an Iranian woman and her Anglo-Iranian daughter. It is an excellent first novel - beautifully descriptive, demonstrating a wonderful gift for narrative and language.

It is one of those books that will keep happily reading- hoping it will always have just "one more page"!

The author is Yasmin Crowther.

Recently read, Water for Elephants, by Sarah Gruen. A complex and lovely novel dealing with ethics, romance, aging and the need for each of us to hold fast to our own individual dream...no matter how bizarre it may seem to others.

Much of the story takes place in a circus environment...hence the elephant. Don't be put-off by thinking..."I'm not a big fan of circuses". Although there is much that is gritty and definitely dark, it is, altogether triumphant when taken as a whole.
