I see you have quite a few kindle books on your list. Have you ever written a post on your thoughts on kindle vs. physical copy? I’m curious on your opinion. I personally can’t read from a computer screen for long enough to read a book, and I’m wondering if the kindle and other readers are very much like a computer screen.

Hope you enjoy your books! I hadn’t heard of Starters before but it sounds good, adding it to my list.

I’m so glad you got Manhunting – you’ll love it I’m sure. That Jennifer Crusie…gotta love her.

I downloaded Starters from NG, I’m looking forward to reading it one of these days. Hope it turns out to be good!

The Bro-Magnet was pretty fun – hope you enjoy it! PS – That’s pretty cool that they sent you TKAM the movie for review. I’ll always have a crush on Gregory Peck as Atticus. :)

Born Wicked sounds really good to me… I know Wendy Darling was not such a fan which kind of turns me off, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it and I’m looking forward to your review.

Starters also sounds interesting. Apparently it’s “high-concept YA” so lah-di-dah.

And I hope you enjoy your romance novels ;)

Let me know what you think of the Born Wicked audiobook – loved the book! Would be interested in listening to the audio. I hadn’t heard of Bliss but I just looked it up and it sounds amazing!

I am super jealous of the DVD! I think I’m the only person in the world who has never seen the movie… I love the book so much that I just can’t bring myself to. (But I think that’ll have to change soon.)

I snagged Romeo, Romeo also! I am waiting for a good weekend where I’m stuck inside to read that one!

Stop by and see what was In My Mailbox this week!

I loved Born Wicked! I’m interested to see what you think of Starters. I haven’t decided if I want to read it yet. Enjoy them all.

Ooh, you got Born Wicked. I have been hearing great things about that one. I’m actually going to the Breathless reads tour in Collegeville Pa the 18th, was debating on maybe picking up a signed copy while I’m there. :)

Don’t you love cheap Kindle books? The most I’ve ever spent on a Kindle book was 10 bucks– and it had the first three books of the Soulless series. Besides that I haven’t paid for then $3.99 on a single book. Hope you enjoy all you books– I’m looking forward to your review of the Born Wicked audio!

YAY! You got Starters too (okay, most people have Starters, but STILL). Also I am dying to read Born Wicked, and am really excited to hear how the audio is. Who is narrating? If you say it’s awesome, I may go that route.

Cheers!

BLISS is one that I got from Amazon Vine, too. It looks really cute–hope it lives up to its premise. And look at you, bustin’ out the Kindle reads like a gangsta! Some excellent choices, if I do say so myself. Happy reading!

Thanks for coming past my IMM and happy reading April!
