  1. Its very confusing isn't it? I don't have a Kindle, but I download kindle books via Amazon of course to my computer or my phone (android) There's a special app you can get ...free. Works a treat. I like reading from my phone, but some people would find the screen too small and too bright. I have a sony e-reader and it accepts stuff that downloads to my computer, but you have to have the right manager (and drivers). I just downloaded something from kindle or kobo, can't remember which, but will get back to you on that. My friend has just bought a Kindle and is wondering why he didn't buy one before. I must admit I fancy a kobo or Kindle, as my sony is one of the early ones...but will have to wait a bit.
  2. Thanks Poppy. I must try and get on more often. Don't seem to have much time for reading, although I have just finished Mary Barton -xx

  4. Thank you Janet. Nice to be remembered, as I am not around so much these days :)

  5. Thank you Chrissy :)

  6. Hi Michelle...if you haven't already you might like to consider my earlier post (8). It really is easy and you don't have the expense of the Kindle, but you have to have the right kind of mobile device to support the app. However, more and more folk will be buying android phones, so worth consideration.
  7. Oops! I asked for that, didn't I? Not quite what I meant, but ... hee hee
  8. Lol...its all about choice isn't it and what suits each persons life style. Also think about this, girl + river + kindle, or, girl+river + van loaded with books!!
  9. I have an android phone and recently got the Kindle app. Brilliant! I can download my favorite books, fiction, non fiction, whatever and read them on my phone. I love it. It works the same as Kindle, with the whyspersinc, but you don't need a Kindle. I am reading Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton this week, having read 'Wives and Daughters' last week. These are available free, but I have also bought patterns and other smaller bits and pieces. Because I already have an Amazon account, I just buy or order with one click! It's great. I also have a sony reader, but the phone is more convenient because you have it with you all the time!!
  10. Hiya everyone. Its good to be back. I'm pleased to see all the 'old' names, as well as lots of new ones too. Michelle and the team are obviously doing a good job. I kept up with your blog for ages Sarah, but not recently. I could spend all day reading blogs (but that doesn't count does it? lol ) Sorry your mojo has gone awol. You'd think with all this snow around, he'd be happy to stay put in the warm! Hi Janet and Andrea. Hope you are both well. Its going to take me ages to catch up on all the news!
  11. Thanks girls. I'll try and keep up...you might have to dole out encouragement from time to time lol. Hugs to you both
  12. I might as well start a new log...New Year - New Log and all that I read very few books last year, although I did a lot of reading. Most of it was reference material. I probably only read about a dozen books or so. This year will be different. In 2006 the total was 31. In 2007, the total was 54. This year I am aiming for 75. Ok, one down and another seventy-four to go. Sounds even worse when you write it out!! The list begins with: JANUARY 1) Bog Standard - by Daniel Keane. 2) Life Interrupted - James NcConnel 3) Blood in the Water - Gillian Galbraith 4) Nobut A Lad - Alan Titchmarsh 5) Careless - Deborah Robertson 6) Bright Lights and Promises - Pauline McLynn
  13. Hello Paula. Just passing by. Trying to catch up with everyone. Hugs...

  14. Sounds fascinating. Let us know what you find out
  15. Hi kell. Thanks for stopping by. How are you getting on in the snow?

  16. Hiya. Did you get my message on BC? I realised you might not know me by my other alter ego...Kimmikat. Actually I am Kimmikat nearly everywhere except here :)

    How are you these days? We'll have to have a coffee sometime...maybe in the Belmont cafe lol and you can show me this famous bookshelf.

    Thanks for visiting. Hugs

    Susie.

  17. I am not a movie buff, so ignorant about many things, including Ben Barnes, but I have to say that he is EXACTLY how I imagine Dorian to look!! It'll be interesting to see the film and his interpretation.
  18. Happy Birthday Carm. Hope you have a great birthday. Sorry I missed you getting married. Congrats big time. I hope you will be very happy together. I'm so pleased for you. Lots of hugs,

    Susie.xx

  19. Happy birthday Roland! :)

  20. Of course, providing I can find it. I'll have a look for it tomorrow, and confirm I can get my hands on it. The reason I say that is because we had people in to insulate all the walls of the house, and the backroom, which houses many of our books is jammed and crammed full at the moment, but with a bit of luck it will be in the bedroom. I'll let you know tomorrow (today...later:) ) Pp
  21. Pm me with your address and I will send you my copy. It's a great book, shame to miss it
  22. Just wondering is anyone would like to read See Jane Die. It's up for grabs if you're interested. Just PM me. Pp
