What are you reading right now?!
DH got me a Kindle Fire for my birthday! So....
What are you reading right now?! I need recommendations for good books to read on my new Fire!
Re: What are you reading right now?!
I'm reading The Help. Finally. It's long though so it's taking me forever to get through, but I am really enjoying it.
Next up is Sarah's Key which Lando generously lent me :-)
And I'd highly recommend Mindy Kaling's book if you want to laugh. I want her to be my BFF.
I'm currently reading the Stand which I'll probably still be reading in a year. I'm also currently reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer on the kindle.
I think the Philly library carries kindle ebooks on their website. Definitely check that out.
I read Mindy Kaling's book on vacation, it was great.
I also read the Hunger Games series. I think I can loan them to you if you want.
sorry to hijack- but can someone please explain this whole loaning thing to me? i have a kindle and so do some of my family members and i would love to be able to borrow/loan with them.

They do! I just have to activate my account which I might do tonight since my branch is open until 8:00PM on Wednesdays.
I read all three in a matter of days! The first book is by far the best and I can't wait for the movie to come out.
This is a great question since a lot of my friends have kindles. DH has an iPad with the kindle app. Will he be able to share books with me as well?
Is it weird that I have zero desire to read any of the 'The Girl with the..." books?
I'm reading game of thrones, it's good. I have a zombie book up next zone one.
If you got to Manage Your Kindle account on amazon, it'll show your library. Under "Actions", if the book is lendable, it will let you do so. I think you need the person you are lending to's email address.
Nah, I have no desire to read Twilight. Or the Help.
The first "girl with" book was slow to start but picked up after 100 pages or so, the second book was the best and the third kind of dragged.
Me too.
Me three.
My little nuggets
See, I thought the 3rd one was the best! Totally agree about the 1st one, the beginning drags but then you get sucked in. I had some issues with the ending too
I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife - I thought I would hate it but I really enjoyed it. I guess I thought it would be super sappy and lovey but it wasn't.
I am currently reading my first Jodi Picoult book - House Rules. It's not what I would normally read but it was recommended so much that I decided to try it
Next up is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
I am halfway through House Rules and liking it so far, though I have to keep putting it aside to read other things for work.
Next up will be Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I've heard this book is really good.
I feel the same was as Eagles about the the Dragon Tattoo series. I totally fought through the first 100 pages, but then it picked up. I read the second book in 2 days. The third book took me a bit longer, but that's because it wasn't summer vacation anymore
my kindle fire has been shipped and will be here tomorrow, and i'm sooooo excited! i'm done all the paper books i have, and i think i'll be doing 11 22 63 as my first kindle book. anyone have any good funny book recs?!
I am reading "The One That I Want" by Allison Winn Scotch. I believe someone on this board recommended it at some point. I literally just started it.
I just finished "The Bride's House" by Sandra Dallas. It was a good story idea, but I found some of it a little hard to believe and thought it could have been written better in some places. It was my first Sandra Dallas read.
Not sure what I want to pick up next. I am getitng a Kindle for Christmas, so really have to think about this one.
I so look forward to this topic to coming up b/c I always need books to read. LO is still nusing 2-3 times a night so I read on my itouch.
I started Game of Thrones but find it hard to get into. I need to switch up genres then come back to it. So I just started The Paris Wife and like it so far.
I will start by sayiing how much I LOVE my Kindle
I am reading my first stephen King THE STAND...I am loving it, cant believe I have never tried him before. I am about 70% done...it is LONG
