Amazon Kindle & Fire discussion

I don't know what it was exactly, but I finally caved and started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It seems like a great murder mystery, and I'm just getting into it. It'll take a lot for it to live up to the hype, but I'm optimistic it'll at least be a satisfying read.

Let us know what you're reading now!

I finished the Stieg Larsson trilogy on my Kindle and think they are great books, enjoy! I just downloaded my second Kindle library book to my K2 (since they don't have a ton or new releases, an older Linda Howard romantic suspense) and simply love the library lending feature! In Print I am reading The Cut and listening to Rules of Civility

@Melissa I loved The Bone Collector.

I'm reading Michael Wallace's The Red Rooster at the moment. ;-) It's based in France during the second world war. I live close to the Normandy Landing Beaches so it's an intriguing read for me.

I just finished Monique Martin's "When the Walls Fell". LOVED IT!

I'm now finishing up The Prodigal Son by Dean Koontz. I have to say that it isn't quite living up to what I'd hoped it would be. It's the first book in the series though, and I'm definitely going to read the second to see what happens.

In the evenings, I'm reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with my eight year old son. What a great book!I'm also reading Prince Caspian to my six year old. LOVE C.S. Lewis!

I just finished #7 of 9 of the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben. I'm just getting ready to start Whiteout by Ken Follett. It will be my first Follett and I picked it because 1. it looks really interesting, and 2. it's not nearly as huge as Pillars of the Earth, Fall of Giants, or World Without End, all of which I want to read .. but thought I'd ease myself in and make sure I like him.

Loved the Larsson trilogy. His character development is unmatched, imo. Wish there were more...

On the Kindle I am reading the 2nd book in the Ember series (People of Sparks?) for my library checkout, for what I own I am reading Wolf Mark. In print I am reading The Power of Six, but I think I'm going to go ahead and take it back to work and let someone else check it out since I also have The Maze Runner and Paranormalcy checked out. I'd much prefer to have them on the Kindle...sooo....if you have it to lend.... :) I haven't checked out all the sections on the discussion but would like to post my list of lendables and want to reads.

I have a couple of netgalley ARC's that I am reading on my kindle and Hardback I am going to start

I'm currently reading Ten Big Ones by Janet Evanovich. I've read the first nine plus Visions of Sugar Plums right in a row so I think I may take a break and read The Hunger Games.

I'm reading The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly right now. I'm really enjoying it! :)

In honor of the Halloween season, I'm re-reading Stephen King's Salem's Lot since it's been so long since I read it.

I have a ton of SK books but haven't read half of them, I have watched the movie IT but never read it so I should read IT for Halloween. :)

IT is one of his best books, you should read it!

Definitely read IT. It's really scary, and my favorite King book!

I'm reading Salems Lot right now too

Then I will definitely check out IT. :)

Blythe, you go, sista!!

Looks like everybody is a King fan! I've torn through a few, and they've been great fun. But I've been veering more toward the YA stuff lately.

right now I am reading Mockingjay. Almost 1/2 way through and enjoying it

I love Stephen King... Just finished Salems Lot and now I will start Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan because it got sent to my Kindle a little early :)

LOL Patricia! :D How are you liking SL? I thought it was super eerie and creepy (same thing, right? oh well).

Blythe, yes it's pretty creepy. I'm only at 40%, didn't get much reading done this past weekend.

I am reading Die Trying (Jack Reacher novel) by Lee Child. I got it from the Public Library on my Kindle--reading time ends tomorrow but I'm only 22% done with it. :-(

22% done and you have to bring it back? There isn't any way to renew it?? :(

I'm reading a YA book, Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, who has become one of my favorite YA authors.

Terri - my advice, do what it takes to get it again! (I love the Reacher books!)
Did your library offer different options for the lending period for Overdrive Kindle lending? Mine offers 7, 14 or 21 day periods.

My library only offers the 7 or 14 day option. I use the 14 day. My loan expired this morning around 3am (according to the email I received) but what I've done is turned off the WiFi/3G on both my Kindles so that I can continue to read Die Trying. As long as I don't turn my WiFi, I should be good. :-)

Terri - great idea!! It should work! I returned a Kindle library book and got notice it was gone pretty quickly - I should have left the wireless off and watched for what happened then.

I'm a huge Stephen King fan as well! I've been trying to work my way through his books that I haven't read yet.

Right now, I'm reading:
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Greand Perdito Street Station by China Meilville
The Night Of The Lonesome October by Robert Zelazny
Macbeth by William Shakespeare
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King

I'm crazy, right? lol

Wow! You have some broad reading tastes, Kathy! :)

Oh, yeah. I like to keep things different. I can't even read the same auther....even one I absolutely love, back to back....I can get tired of a genre or author very quickly and then have to take a break from it/them.

The Quickie by James Patterson
Eviction Notice by K'wan
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (Audio)

Now on to somethings a bit spookier:

Stormi -- Spookier is good for the last few weeks of October! Enjoy It. I am finishing Robert B. Parker's Killing the Blues and listening to Rules of Civility which is a treat, that one is very interesting, a brush with history; then on to Graveminder next, for my spooky read!

Wow, you are tearing through those books. Fast reader!

I'm onto the second book in the Millennium trilogy, The Girl who Played with Fire, even though the first didn't exactly thrill me.

I'm reading 2nd Chance by James Patterson. I finished 1st to Die yesterday and absolutely loved it

Starting up Maze Runner by James Dashner! I've wanted to read this one for a long time.

I am starting "The Lantern," by Deborah Lawrenson.

Just finished My Sister's Voice and just started Mudbound.

Finished Temple Just started Diamond Sand

Half way through Magic to the Bone and Diplomacy of Wolves

I just finished Fallen by Karin Slaughter and am now starting Headhunter by Jo Nesbo. I'm 33% into it and it is excellent!! Headhunter

I need to read more Jo Nesbo, Patricia! I really enjoyed The Snowman recently. Karin Slaughter's Grant County books are great! I eagerly await a new one.
I am almost finished with Melissa Marr's Graveminder and Nic Pizzalotto's very hard boiled (think No Country for Old Men) Galveston: A Novel.

Ann, I've read The Redbreast, Nemesis,and The Snowman and I have The Devil's Star on my Kindle to read. I think those are all of the Harry Hole books that have been translated to English so far. This one, Headhunter, is an independent book. I'm now about 45% into it and it's excellent!

Thanks Patricia! I have The Redbreast lined up on my Kindle (among quite a few friends in the queue) ;)
