I usually take a variety of books with me although now I am a Kindle Convert and have lots loaded that I have not yet read. Some of the
ones I am specifically saving for my hols are. Lee Childs last two releases, The last two books in the Outlander series by Diana Gabledon, I love travel books and keep downloading free ones or cheapies from Amazon and have a load of these ready to read nice easy reading perfect for the beach!

After having read the first book in the 50 Shed of Grey series, I think you will be perfectly safe. It took me over 2 weeks to read it on my Kindle. The other 2 books in this series most certain won't see the light of day. All I can say is I'm glad I never paid for them! I got them free and would have been seriously miffed if I'd spent my hard earned cash on them...

Why there is talk about making it into a move, I've no idea. :que

Give me a mystery or a thriller any day. I went back to my Jack Reacher like a shot. Currently reading The Affair on Kindle and have the next one lined up already.

All Free downloads too! :cheers

She will probably only read a few chapters before she bins it if she is used to reading books by good authors. :rofl :rofl

Have to agree about the 50 shades books I downloaded them too for free and I am so pleased I didn't pay for them. A load hype but guess its made the author a pretty penny!!

:rofl So right! I got up to page 114 and had counted 14 'I bit my lip' :duh - ditched it and started reading The Backpacker by John Harris - bit like The Beach only supposed to be true. I've also downloaded Goa Traffic by Marissa de Luna for just over £1 to my iPhone.

I've read that Goa Traffic Betty it's not a great read but 100% better than Grey!!
Thing is you can alway imagine your there in Goa when reading it....better than imaging being with Mr Grey lol couldn't stand the pain;)

:rofl @ Nejulie. I'm only reading it while standing in queues in bank/shops/airports at moment LOL! Yes not sure I'd buy the book but for £1.12 download it serves it's purpose - easy read (I've only got to the bit where she's gone clubbing with them :rofl )..and you're right you can visualise exactly where they are/the smells etc of Goa.

Hi Chilly - So lovely to have you back on here and of course me and Mrs Roma will be at some of the meets in Feb.Can't wait!
Bobbins is giving Goa a miss this year - he got fed up with the muck and nonsense that is so much a part of Goa - he's off on a music tour of America.
On the literary front, I bought (at full price, I might add!) "Behind the Beautiful Forevers" by Katherine Boo. It's an account of three years in Mumbai by an American author. I'm saving it so I can read it in Goa - I think that always adds something to books on India.

Caught short abroad!!!! My U bend romp around the globe [Kindle Edition]

I had to take a second look but it has 5 stars and 19 reviews!! not everyone's cup of tea :really but i had to download it just to see what it was like! haven't read it yet though!

Roma wonderful !!! cant wait to see you both again :) thanks for the book link will take a look sounds good, having the kindle certainly gives me some weight back in my case! although with 69 KGs i should be ok. Can i add your name tentatively for any of the meets ?

I get a few from here http://www.ereaderiq.co.uk/free/ but I mainly use a torrent download site.

PM me if you want me to send you a list of books I have already in the right format for Kindle.

I actually bought this in Tesco before I knew what it was about, but havent bothered to read it as everyone has said it is a load of poo. Have been reading all the Phillipa Gregory books though on recent holidays, am sticking to the Tudor Court ones, although I am not sure they would do for anyone who is into histroical accuracy.

Hi Chilly nice to have you back :kiss
I only use Amazon to download books and I only pick the free ones :oops: I even typed in free books into my Kindle when in Malta and downloaded some whilst laid in bed :lol:
