    Susan also recommended Hope: A Tragedy and I saw on my little "follower activity" thingy that you had added The Crown, which looks interesting. I will have to check out The Street Sweeper.

    I flew through three books in rapid fire succession and have since stalled. I am attempting to read Dorian Gray but it just hasn't grabbed me and I am in a weird mood where nothing really sounds good....

    American Dervish and The Orphan Master's Son have caught my attention...

    I am hoping to get in a 2012 read this month, but so far nothing is really catching my eye. Do you have anything good on your radar?

    I'm reading Rules of Civility and am glad I have the day off work because I can't put it down! I can't quite figure out where it is all going just yet, but I am enjoying getting there :)

    RoC is from the library and wouldn't you know it, Doc came in just a few days after it! I need to read quickly before they expire and disappear from my Kindle!

    Looking forward to both given how highly you rated them :)

    I have a book I finished last week that was written by two authors: one male and one female. Which thread on PBT should I post it in?

    Thanks for the help! I couldn't figure out how to see more books than the few that were on the Amazon website.

    I just don't really use my Netflix anymore and, since they upped their prices, it seems a bit frivolous. When I do have spare time, I spend it reading and not watching TV....excepting the huge TLC and HGTV marathon I watched yesterday while working on my dissertation! lol.

    Plus, I tend to order lots of Christmas presents through Amazon so they can be delivered and I don't have to pack them home on the plane with me....so now would be a great time to invest!

    I think I'm going to do it.....

    Also, I just downloaded A Game of Thrones from the library! Of course, I am still in the Middle of the Paris Wife and the physical Doc is waiting for me to pick up, but I will have to fit them all in some how :) Thank goodness next weekend is a three day holiday weekend!!

    I am very intrigued by the new kindle lending library through amazon! I am not a Prime member because I really don't order a whole lot of stuff but am considering joining just for that perk.

    Have you borrowed a book yet? Is it like the library where they can only lend out a limited number at a time or can I get what I want when I want it?

    I'm just trying to decide if I want to do this. I am thinking of cancelling my netflix and replacing it with this.....I would save money and probably use it more.

    I also think it would be interesting to read. I really don't want to purchase it though so I am going to put it on hold at the library...I bet there is a substantial hold list.....

    Oh, you're quick!!! Thanks again! Now that I know where they are, it will be quick to mark them as group favourites! :-)

    And I'm sorry I had to look back in the threads. :-( I thought you'd had a list somewhere yourself that would be easier to find. I could have found them all myself and I did come across one of them on Saturday as I was looking back for the bunny hop threads (I meant to let you know, and forgot).

    I would love it if you would send me Falling Together! It is one of the books that is very high on my priority list. Let me know when you're done and I will email you my address. Thanks :)

    Are you going to read The Art of Fielding, by chance? I think it looks interesting but am waiting for a trusted review :)

    Thanks so much for this offer! Sure, I would love to read it when you are finished with it. No rush at all. I have plenty o' books on the TBR stack right now. If you like, I can PM you my address now or wait until you're ready to send it. Let me know if I can reimburse you for shipping cost or send you a book in return.

    Glad you and your family are ok and your house survived. We had nothing but rain here so not much happened.
