Camy Tang/Camille Elliot discussion

I just started the debut novel of a friend of mine, Pam Hillman, which is available for free on Amazon and BN.com:

Stealing Jake
I absolutely love Livy! Not that I've ever been a pickpocket or anything, but she's really cool.

Pam's book sounds like a good one. I guess I'm going to have to get a Kindle one day.

I just started Bride of Second Chances... and have A Voice in the Wind and False Witness waiting in the wings (book loans from booklending.com) I'm also anxious to dive into some of the deals I nabbed up from Amazon's latest sale...

oh, and while I set That is SO Me: 365 Days of Devotions: Flip-Flops, Faith, and Friends aside for a time, I picked up Contentment: A Godly Woman's Adornment to study alongside my daily dose of The One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar

oh, and ALMOST(ish) done with Silent Tears: A Journey Of Hope In A Chinese Orphanage (come to find out the author is helping a friend of mine put together HER book/story/experience of adopting from China!)

yeah, so I think that's it. HA!

girl, even without a kindle... start nabbing up those freebies, they are yours forever... even if you never get a kindle, in this day & age you can read from your computer, phone, ipod, and whatnot!

gah, girl... don't do this to me... that's one (of the recent freebies) that stood out to me, with your stamp on it, I'll have to move it UP the ranks TBR!

I really enjoyed Stealing Jake! Thanks again for telling us about the book Camy! It was so much more then a romance, really had me thinking of widows and orphans.

I just finished the 3rd book of Carla Capshaw's gladiator books. I enjoyed them as well.

Now I'm reading Debra Clopton's Her Cowboy Rodeo

What Amancay said--you can read them on your computer or just save the file and when/if you do get a Kindle, it'll be downloaded automatically!

Holy cow you've got a lot of books going on! I think you'll enjoy Stealing Jake, though!

Awesome, Judy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! Pam's a good friend of mine.

I'm so non-tech. (Look how long it took me to get here.) Okay. I'll look into it. Thanks for the advice ladies.

I finished Brenda Jackson's Solid Soul and started Ronie Kendig's Wolfsbane yesterday. Knowing that many book contracts are only three books, I'm hoping Ronie's publisher has contracted for more books in the series. I've got to know what happens with the rest of Nightshade.

Hi guys! Camy said y'all were talking about Stealing Jake over here, so I popped in. I'm new to Goodreads, so there's that little learning curve going on!

Patricia, I'm reading Wolfsbane by Ronie Kendig too! It's awesome! Ronie is on Seekerville today talking about how she named all the Metcalfe siblings. Too fun!

Pam Hillman (I see I have no pic and need to edit my ID. Oh well, I'll fix it soon!)

Hopping over to Seekerville... Thanks, Pam!

Pam- I sent you something somewhere telling you how much I enjoyed your book. It might be on facebook :-)

It was so much more then just a romance.

Looking forward to more of your writing to come.

You're not the only one! Lots of people online have been hoping Ronie will write the other book or two in the series, but it's not under contract at the moment, so we'll just have to wait. :(

Don't worry, it's not hard. :) Lots of us here on Goodreads can help you out, too.

Yay, Pam found her way over here!

Sandra, I download freebies to Kindle and to Nook. Bit of a pain to do it twice, I guess, but once I make up my mind which I'm going to get, I'll have most of my books either way. Only problem is Nook tends to have fewer freebies and they have them for shorter periods of time, so have to catch them right away.

If I get one, it will probably be a Kindle rather than a Nook, although I've heard good things about both. I've been on the fence on this Kindle thing for quite a while. My SIL has one and loves it. But when I get pdf's I'm supposed to read to influence, I find I don't care for reading them on the computer, so I'm not sure how much difference there is.

I'm on the list at the library to check out a Kindle to see how it works and if I like it. I'll make up my mind then. Amazon seems to have a good deal on the 3G Wi-Fi w/special additions (read ads) right now. I don't think I'd mind a few ads on my screensaver--I'm all about the deals. :-) Has anyone seen one of these? Are they too yuck?

Amazon said just yesterday that the Kindle with ads is now their bestselling model. Apparently a lot of folks don't mind.

Hadn't thought about trying out a device from my library. Don't even know if they have any. Have to check that out.

I have a Nook, just the plain one. I also have Nook and Kindle PC for my regular computer. They are both free.

Kindle with ads: For a difference of $50, plus you're supposed to get word through the ads of special deals, I can see why it would sell well as long as the ads are only on the screensaver. They're not supposed to pop up while you're reading.

My library has twenty Kindles and I was still 80-something on the list. That was two months ago. I am anxious to check it out though.

Actually, I was downloading them both for a while, too, before I got my Nook.

That's a great idea! I haven't heard about Kindles being available for loan from the library before.

I also have the old Nook, but I got the new one because I used my old one so much, I got a crack in the front frame right over the forward page button!

I hope you get to check one out soon! I went with a friend to Barnes and Noble yesterday and she played with both the new Black and White Nook and the Color Nook. Both are really nice.

Carla Capshaw's books sound awesome. I've got to read those!

Thanks for letting me know, Judy! I'm so glad you like it.

I have two Kindles on my Amazon Kindle account, one for me and one for my friend in the nursing home. So everything I buy or download can be sent to both Kindles. I don't know if 2 is the limit or if you can have more, but it's so worth it to have a ton of books that we can both share.

Camy, you'd make a good pickpocket! ha ha

I have two Kindles on my Amazon Kindle account...


That's cool, Pam. Kind of your own little book club.

LOL Cuz I'm so sweet and innocent looking? NOT!

I agree with Sandra, Pam, that's a really brilliant idea. I didn't know you could do that.

I am still reading doctors in petticoats by mary connealy.

Im now reading Stealing Jake and loving it.

Isn't Mary hilarious??? I love her books.

Ausjenny wrote: "Im now reading Stealing Jake and loving it."

Awesome!!!!

It is awesome. the one think I hate with kindle books is not knowing the number of pages in a book. I like the percentage but the page number is big for me.

Can you change the settings on the Kindle? I know you can change the settings on the Nook. Mine has the page numbers showing.

I think its the kindle. with pdfs it has a page but kindle versons dont seem to have a page number just percentage. I can get the word location not page number so must be a kindle thing.

That's too bad.

its ok I am at 40% now. and loving the book this is so good. Wanted to finish it before I interview her Thursday on my blog.
Dont tell anyone I read today instead of studied will you.

LOL My lips are sealed.

good. I did look at the stuff. just couldn't do to much of one of them as I need to go to a business to get some info.

Yes she is. I enjoy her books.

Finished Finding Jake last night a wee bit later than I should have stayed up but couldn't finish it.

Cool! Did you like it?

loved it didn't want it to end.

LOL that's awesome!

Sorry to hear that Amancay! :(

Hey I just heard about False Witness recently (good things), although I can't remember where...
