Well, since I've been burning up all my computer time reading book after book on my Kindle, I guess I ought to at least share with you what I've been reading. I've only had this doo-dad for a couple of weeks and I've already ripped through almost half a dozen books. I keep getting questions from people asking me if I miss "real" books. Are you kidding? This is way easier to carry around than a paperback. Fits perfectly in my purse and remembers exactly where I'm at in each book.

Lace Makers of Glenmara

This was a great book. Set in Ireland - I'm on an Irish kick for some reason. This lady is fleeing a bad breakup and the loss of her mother. She ends up in Ireland and hooks up with a group of ladies who make lace and helps them revitalized their art by changing it from tea towels to gorgeous lingerie. Sort of like a Maeve Binchy novel, but better. Her more recent ones have been terribly boring.

Hide in Plain Sight

This was a freebie - your basic Amish romance, if there is such a thing. Woman goes home to the family farm in Amish country to help her sister and grandmother open a Bed & Breakfast and falls in love with the handy man. It was a nice light read.

Wicked

I'm still working my way through this one. Not one of my big favorites. It's got a lot of stuff I didn't expect to find in an Oz book. Of course, I never read any of the originals, so maybe sex and violence and politics are all really normal stuff. But it's full of obscure plotlines and doesn't explain a lot of stuff.

Ireland

OK, this wasn't on my Kindle, this was an audio book, but I was listening to it in between reading my books. This is a fabulous book, but you have to get it on audio so you can get the benefit of those gorgeous accents! It's sort of a collection of famous Irish folktales and legends strung together with a good plot.

The Assassin's Apprentice

Oddly enough, this one has been my favorite and surprisingly it was another freebie. It's kind of a medieval thing with kings and princes and stuff, but it's also got magic in it too and a pretty good plotline. Good read - I'll be sorry when I finish it. Sometime later tonight, I predict.
