A game that i'll win! My journey.

[Emmey1]

I could be a bit ashamed to admit what I'm reading atm But sometimes it good to read some trashy chick lit lol

I'm currently working my way through the Sophie Kinsella Shopaholics series of books lol

Oh a girl at work is reading those and she really likes them - might be a bit too chick lit for me

Mind you who am I to talk - I have yet to read any of the Harry potter books (have them all too!)

I'm not usually a chick lit fan either Emmey, but these are really funny and make a nice change

We've got all the HP books too, not that I've read any though - not my cup of tea.

Jo there was nobody worse than me for saying "Kindle? WTF do you want one of those for. Get yourself a proper book and have a proper read like a proper person" lol I'm a big convert now Best invention since t'internet :giggle: You can carry a bookshelf around with you and read whatever the mood takes

Buy one! lol

 

[Corkscrew]

p.s. you could always get your OH to buy you one as a treat when you've lost a stone lol

The more people ive spoken to the more ive become convinced and you guys have finally convinced me!!! I really want one know!! I'm like a child when I decide I want something I can't wait I have to have it now!!

Oh and the shopaholic series is great I've just one more to read. They are really funny books x

Jo I totally second this! Fu ally picked up Sheldon and have been reading him for the last hour and it's bloody brilliant! Mainly the about of books in him (even tho I do only read one at a time cause I'll mix the stories up otherwise) lol but big reason is there's no faffing with do ding a comfortable position to hold the book or turn its pages - it's so light and compact one hand is all you need

I'm a total convert and felt the same as Corks did about liking proper books - and The screen is brilliant it's like a proper book so there's no eye strain like there would be looking at a screen

Buy one indeed! Treat yourself when you reach a milestone!
It helped I have a very lovely father who paid over half for it - but deffo worth the investment

Teehee mummy and daddy indeed

Loving him! Have put Sheldon away now as OH was getting jealous lol

I think the only downfall I can foresee is no backlight so would need a light source - but there are cheap enough covers that come with lights on eBay to sort that problem out

Jo i am the same as you when I want something I want it now lol but to be fair my dad is the same so he can't tell me it's wrong lol

Oh corks I've just noticed you can 'loan' a book to other kindle users? They can have it to read for 14 days and while they have loan of it you can't read it yourself - but that sounds good! Don't loan me none of your chick lit though lol

Oh and your prob right about oh's being too much trouble just to get a kindle! Lol x

Honestly emmey the shopaholic series is funny not true chick lit to me! X

The backlight was deliberately left off to make it more 'book like' I don't think I would want one tbh

Yeah it's a good feature being able to loan book to other Kindle users. My son 'loan' me a book he enjoyed but it fried mi brain! lol
