ashleighjane Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I just started reading 'The City of Ember' by Jeanne DuPrau
bobblybear Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 The Drowning Pool is going really well, fast-paced and intriguing.
K.in.your.book Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Completed The Upstairs Room - and started with White Fang by Jack London Let me know what you think of White Fang, I loved it but don't know anyone else who has read it! I just started on Hotel Pastis by Peter Mayle, really enjoying it so far.
Kidsmum Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Made a start on The Beach but not likely to get much reading done today as all the children are home from school because of the snow
chesilbeach Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I've read some more of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared. It's a good story, but I'm not a fan of the writing style at the moment, although it's not enough to stop me reading it!
Lucybird Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with it But don't give up, maybe something comes up! Thanks. I've e-mailed amazon today so hopefully something will come of that
pontalba Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks. I've e-mailed amazon today so hopefully something will come of that Good luck with that, I've heard great stories regarding their replacing kindles.
Eleonora Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I went to library today but none of the books I wanted had arrived.. not my lucky day. I got some good classics, anyway!
Janet Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 At the moment I'm quickly re-reading The Importance Of Being Earnest out of celebration of going to see it on stage for the first time in a couple of weeks! Did you find someone to go with? I hope you enjoy it (well, I know you'll enjoy it, but you know what I mean!).
Lucybird Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Good luck with that, I've heard great stories regarding their replacing kindles. Apparently not. E-mail response was identical to the phone response. Does anyone know if I can put kindle files on another e-reader e.g. a Kobo? I don't think I want to get another kindle if I'm just going to have the same problems in another 13 months Edited January 21, 2013 by Lucybird
Nollaig Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Did you find someone to go with? I hope you enjoy it (well, I know you'll enjoy it, but you know what I mean!). Yes! One of the women I work with, she's awesome and lovely and also a bookworm and fan of many things that I'm a fan of. She's gonna come with me. SO excited!

So sorry to hear that Lucy...The only thing I know of is if you have the kindle ap on your computer, you can read them there. I wonder though if once on your computer you could transfer to a nook or kobo. I just don't know. Drat. Yes! One of the women I work with, she's awesome and lovely and also a bookworm and fan of many things that I'm a fan of. She's gonna come with me. SO excited! Sounds fantastic!

She's gonna come with me. SO excited! Ah good - I'm glad you found someone to go with - I've been to the theatre on my own before, and it's fine, but it's always nice to have some company.
bookmonkey Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I finally finished Clan of the Cave Bear. I've had this recommended to me so many times, but the caveman aspect put me off. It shouldn't have. It's a brilliant book, really well-written and a great read. I quickly forgot they were cavemen and they seemed like ordinary people. Definitely a 5/5. It only took me so long because I had to take it back to the library before I'd finished it, then wait until I got to the top of the queue again.
Athena Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I really like that book! I've read it in Dutch back when I was a teenager. I plan to buy the English version so I can read the original version of it. I love the story. To me the cavemen aspect is one of the things that makes it so interesting, but to each their own of course.
ashleighjane Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I finished 'The City of Ember' last night, so I'm going to start on its sequel, The People of Sparks, today.
bree Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Let me know what you think of White Fang, I loved it but don't know anyone else who has read it! I wasn't too sure I'd like it Kate, but one-third in - I'm really enjoying it,

Athena Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I am loving The Midwife's Confession That is so good to hear . It's one of my favourite contemporary fiction books.
Brian. Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Don't let it get to your head I finished The Beach, it was really great, I'm so happy I read it! I can't guarantee that but I am glad you enjoyed it. Made a start on The Beach but not likely to get much reading done today as all the children are home from school because of the snow Yayy, another one.
bobblybear Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm about 40% through The Drowning Pool now. It's scarrrrryy..... I wouldn't like to read it alone at night....
Karsa Orlong Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm about 40% through The Drowning Pool now. It's scarrrrryy..... I wouldn't like to read it alone at night.... Ooh, I like the sounds of this
Lucybird Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Finished Against My Will which was so-so, lots going on but too fast. And in the ongoing kindle saga I have written a post on kindle UK's facebook page, maybe if other people can see it they will take notice? Worth a try, right? Lucy, do read through this thread (3 pages)- http://www.mobilerea...ead.php?t=91392 And this seems like something that would work too- http://www.epubor.com/ *I haven't tried any of these - I don't have an e-reader - so please read carefully and try it out only if you're convinced* Thanks, will have a look.
chesilbeach Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Just finished The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz and absolutely loved it. Thanks to Kay for recommending it.
