Before I startesd subscribing to a certain magazine, I kept a list with my library card of which issues I had read from the library so we seem to think alike!<br /><br />I like reading but don't make enough time for it. I have started borrowing audio books from the local libary (online so I don't even have to get dressed) and listening to them while I knit, sew or play games on the computer! I read adults and children's fiction - yesterday I listened to the whole book of "Little Lord Fauntleroy"!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-18233224751565618522011-10-18T14:22:03.697+11:002011-10-18T14:22:03.697+11:00Some good buys there.

I'll have to try the other two authors mentioned while I wait for my library to have the latest Matthew Reilly available. I see you couldn't leave without some quilting mags :).<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-61134948552817802011-10-17T19:10:25.350+11:002011-10-17T19:10:25.350+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Roseannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168414444372454356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-39927063987646526992011-10-17T19:10:24.848+11:002011-10-17T19:10:24.848+11:00O Wow so many book.

I like mainly mysteries, James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark, used to read Catherine Cookson which I loved, I don't mind Historical fiction either, and occasionally something humorous such as Bill Bryson. :0)Quiltin' Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187755258429239973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-64534843285969267572011-10-17T07:58:29.411+11:002011-10-17T07:58:29.411+11:00Wow! what great finds.

I like reading but before I had my Kindle my eyes didn´t allow me to read as much as I wished to. Now I begin my day with a short story and end it with an other. In the mientime i do my everyday duties. At the moment I´m reading stories by B. Singer. Stories are my favorite reading because they are condensed and I can read them at one sitting. Recently I discovered Margaret Attwood and Nabokov - brilliant!<br />I realy love my Kindle.NininSvijethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047965603245097044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-71187332930335323762011-10-16T20:00:11.953+11:002011-10-16T20:00:11.953+11:00Wow!

Everyone in my family knows that when I start a new book, to just leave Mummy alone till she finishes it. I have read many of my books many, many times. I love reading paper books held in my hand, but I also have an Eco Reader which I also love! I love that fact that it is light and portable and I can carry around thousands of books if I want. Having said that I only read novels on it and the number of books and the types of books I now read has greatly expanded which is really fantastic. One of my biggest problems with buying books was where to put them all! Craft books and any book that has pictures and instructions or is in colour really need to be in paper form so I use both and I love it.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423926514050623537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-68173156532769280332011-10-16T13:57:13.652+11:002011-10-16T13:57:13.652+11:00Hello Anorina!! After I read this post I thought.....Hello Anorina!! After I read this post I thought.. did I write this!?? LOL I share the love of books as well as you do! I will not buy a kindle or Nook or whatever is the newest electronic book they have. I have to have that book with many pages in my hand. I too love Connelly and Cornwell (finally caught up on hers!) AND I have a little notebook in my purse I keep to mark off the one's I read. hehe I enjoy the "series" crime books. I have not read any Walters but will have to jot her name down to find one! I just picked up Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich. Her books make me laugh and I need it after reading other series like Cornwell! (darker)<br />I started reading Sign of the Cross by Chris Kuzneski.. He has a series detective line out and its AWESOME! OH and also reading The Hunger Games (on book 2) so yes you can say I'm a bookworm! I'm passing the love of books down to my 2 year old grand daughter and she is catching on!! =) Sorry for the long comment! I get excited when I know of others passion's same as me!!! haha! The Lifeline book fair looks great! And for a great cause!Suzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184533155664446057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-7994635146117111682011-10-16T13:21:36.806+11:002011-10-16T13:21:36.806+11:00The books I love to read beside craft books are sc...The books I love to read beside craft books are sci-fi - Robin Hobb, Raymond E Feist etc even Harry Potter. <br />Also enjoy the Elm Creek books, history and quilting together, great cookbooks are also enjoyed and sometimes used for their recipesSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595967763165696837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-68051219236340393202011-10-16T13:18:00.428+11:002011-10-16T13:18:00.428+11:00The Lifeline book sale in Macarthur is held mid Se...The Lifeline book sale in Macarthur is held mid September, this year it was just one day and very crowded. I like you headed to the craft books picking up some great books, must take a photo and show you included a Kaffe Fasset. Eight books for $5 is what they charge and there were some great bargains.<br />I also would rather hold the book in my hands and smell the musty old book smell than download off the internet, don't get me wrong I have bought Interweave Stitch magazine for 10c downloaded straight to my computer, its just not the same.<br />BTW can't wait to see what you have in store for us in November for Bee in Oz.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595967763165696837noreply@blogger.com
