A Scattered Life by Karen McQuestion.
It was $2.99 and is actually a pretty good read so far.

I adore Sergeant Cribb ... these books have been out of print since the 1970s. I'm thrilled to be able to read them ..."

Oh, that is neat! I loved those mysteries and still have some in paperback from the late 70s/early 80s. Am going to have think about getting as eBooks any I don't have in print.

I'm reading Dark Road to Darjeeling which I got from NetGalley in exchange for a review. I was hoping to be able to review it before its publication date (October 1) but just couldn't get to it in time. I just started it but already it has me chuckling ~ those wild and crazy Marches.

I love netgalley. I've read 6 or so books from them so far. Make sure you check out the offerings from "Poisoned Pen Press." They're great mysteries.

I hear that, stormhawk! I've gotten a few from Poisoned Pen Press ~ one I finished (Roman Games: A Plinius Secundus Mystery by Bruce Macbain), which I really enjoyed and reviewed on my blog and, I think, here too, one I wasn't so thrilled about, and one more waiting in the wings.

I've actually got too many waiting in the wings; when I first discovered NetGalley, I went a little overboard. It's going to take me quite awhile to read and review them all.

ditto. I've at least a half dozen books queued. I loved Roman Games.

I am book-aquisitive, and being able to read them EARLY. AND free. oooh. you can't beat that.

Radium Halos: A Novel about the Radium Dial Painters - Shelly Stout

I just ordered a subscription for Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
I gave up on magazines in the 90's because they were being read and damaged during delivery. I never got a copy that wasn't damaged so I quit. I am pleased to say Kindle has changed that. I am not reading what I did then.....Ladies Home Journal and more just like it.....I was so happy to find these and even more pleased to say I really like them in this format delivered without damage.

I love this series, it's my-not-so secret addiction.I am on my second read of these books, also have them on audio.

I am currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Avempartha - Michael J. Sullivan

Nothing like a bloody thriller to follow up a classic
:)

Almost Heaven by Chris Fabry. I got it when it was free a couple of weeks ago but it is amazing! I really recommend this one!

HI Everybody. New to `the` Kindle world. I love it. I am currently reading Room but just finished Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace. It was hysterical. Room is a lot different and next I want to read Glass Castle. Anyone reading these books, let me know let's discuss.

Mercury Falls - Robert Kroese

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt - great book!

I just finished reading torment by lauren kate. Its the second book in her fallen series.

The Butcher's Boy. Nice a creepy!

I'm currently reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter #1)
by Jeff Lindsay. I'm a huge fan of the ShoTime series and thought I'd give the books a go. I'm about 1/2 way through and, although it's a good read, I find the show more entertaining. Found that to be the same situation with the Sookie Stackhouse series and TruBlood. Perhaps, it's because I have preconceived notions and knowledge of the outcome that I'm not as into it as I typically find myself while reading.

The Hunger Games. Half way through and cant put it down.

I just finished "A Dog's Purpose"; Bruce Cameron, and prior to that flew through "The Hangman's Daughter" and the entire "Twilight" series for the first time...loved it. How are you guys finding "Midnight Sun" on kindle? Just DLed "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner".

Also, "Heaven Is For Real....", Todd Burpo..was incredible.

OH..and I have to say that everything Diana Gabaldon touches is GOLDEN..except maybe the "Lord John" books..they were so-so.

Read all three in the Hunger Games trilogy in 2 days. Highly un-put-downable. I also have everything Diana Gabaldon has written - anyone who knows a comparable author please speak up.

I just finished "Cutting for Stone" (Abraham Verghese) and found it remarkable, unusual and delightful.

I'm currently reading "Death has a Name" by Jerry Hanel. I was fortunate enough to win a free copy from his give-away campaign recently and I'm about 20% through it. So far, so good.

I'm reading Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King. So far I'm really enjoying this! :)

I'm reading State of Rebellion - A Pug Connor Novel - Book One. Good book so far. Interesting plot.

I'm reading 19 Minutes by Jodi Piccoult - very emotional from all sides!

I am reading Game of Thrones by G. R. R. Martin. I am totally loving it!

Are you watching the HBO series as well?

No, I wanted to read it first. I hear it's really good, though. Are you watching it?

Hey, I'm new to this group but i LOVE MY KINDLE! I'm currently reading and it's pretty damn good so far!

I am reading dreams of a dark warrior my first book to read on my Kindle up to now it just like holding a book and I am finding my my kindle pretty damn good also!! :))

Kathy...the series is sooooo good. And I hear from readers of the book that they are doing a pretty good job at it too. havent read the books yet, but loving the show!

Kathy wrote: "No, I wanted to read it first. I hear it's really good, though. Are you watching it?"

Yep. I'm holding off on cancelling HBO because of it. The pacing is a lot faster than the book, and they're leaving out some things, shoving some other things in ... but the scenes with Danerys are amazing.

Hi I am reading My second BDB book on My Kindle although I have my first BDB book in paper back I shall carry on collecting on My Kindle I Love the BDB series I have heard so much from others even though I am sitting here now typing this in the back of my mind I am thinking of my Kindle and what to put on next apart from book 3 of BDB that is.

I'm currently reading , 3rd book in Vampiric Housewife Series...AWESOME!

I don't know if it's okay to mention it in this group, since I'm affiliated with the publishing company, but I recently read a novel called Scattershot, by Richard Goodwin, on my Kindle. It was quirky, dark, funny -- and brilliantly written.

Will try and make a note Kathryn. I am currently reading JR wards Love Eternal and loving it I am glad I started reading BDB as it very hard to put down :)

The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain. I have really enjoyed a number of Diane's books and look forward to this current read.

Just downloaded another freebie and its pretty darn good!

I just finished Laurell K. Hamiton's lastest, Hit List and am starting James Joyce's Ulysses

Okay, I gave up on Ulysses. I read the first two chapters and just couldn't get into it. I started The Second Ward. So far? It is great!

just started reading yesterday

Just finished reading "The Beach Trees" by Karen White. It was a great read!

Die A Little , the first of Megan Abbott's 50s crime noir novels with a female POV. The writing's good but it feels more like a literary novel than a crime story so far, with no real incident to move the plot forward almost a quarter of the way in. I'm a sucker for the 1940s and 50s so I'll keep going in any case. Her' covers are great but the Kindle price might be steep for some.

Before I bought a Kindle, I'd only read a single book at a time. Now, I'll often have two or three ongoing, and I'll open one according to my mood.

Currently I'm reading three books:

A Sailor of Austria: In Which, Without Really Intending to, Otto Prohaska Becomes Official War Hero No. 27 of the Habsburg Empire. Someone loaned me the hardback of this some years ago. Having just discovered it in the Kindle store, I'm re-reading it. The humour reminds me somewhat of Conan Doyle's Brigadier Gerard stories.

Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad!. My wife is pregnant with our second baby. For various reasons, I was rubbish the first time, so this time I'm hoping to be a bit better. It's good to have a book that's aimed at expectant dads, and this one is quite light-hearted.

On Waterloo: Clausewitz, Wellington, and the Campaign of 1815. This one is much heavier than the others. It's very interesting, but I have to be in the mood to be able to cope with it, so progress is slow.
