I have to say Here to Stay is fast becoming one of my favourite books... I had tears today reading about Tornardo(Sp???) poor horse I felt so sorry for him...

There's no excuse for abuse where animals or humans etc are concern...

With animal abuse, my dad found a rabbit wrapped in a carrier bag dumped in a field. The little rabbit called lucky charlie now has a loving home with me. And my brother in law. found someone abusing a cat and then threw it over a wall. My brother in law went absolutely mad and chased them off. He rescued the cat and is now caring for it until it can have a new home. It has special needs and it is hard to keep the dog away from it as the dog loves cats.I cried when i saw him. My brother in law was in the papers and the people who did this were caught. We are waiting for someone special to take him in he is very skittish and cannot be around other animals or children. Bless him. Us as humans abuse everything around us the earth and the creatures on it. It is about time we got some of our humanity back.

There are a few older books I have re read because they are on my favorites list. The Texas Leigh Brothers series by Lorraine Heath; the Gamble by LaVryle Spencer; and Two Texas Heart by Jodi Thomas.

I have read a few of above. I am just getting fussy. It's Jake's fault really.

I do know how u feel about liking the feel of a paperback... Hopefully one day u will change your mind...lol

Like Catherine, I find I actually prefer the electronic format for research/reference books. I still prefer hard copies of my romances and other novels. A lot of romance authors are starting to release "e-book only" novellas, and the free software works great for that.

Susan Mallery posted an article from USA Today on Facebook a few days ago that said for 35 of the top 50 books on the best sellers list, the electronic version of the book has outsold the hard copy version. Whether we like it or not, it looks like electronic readers are here to stay!

Michelle, I think if someone's not a "book person", they just don't understand. I had a flood in my house last month, and my two giant bookcases had to be emptied so they could be moved to a dry section of the house. The neighbors who were helping me move the furniture sort of scratched their heads and said "Uh, I guess we'll come back later when you have all these books boxed up." I felt sort of like a hoarder or something.

There is a medical site called "Inspire" where you can discuss issues surrounding various disorders. My daughter was recently diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis (NF) and I have really learned alot about her condition participating in discussions online. Right now she is going through chemotherapy for one of her tumors and it gives me a place to vent my feelings about this somewhat, in my opinion, barbaric treatment.

Anyway, the new ipad a supposedly much less expensive than the last generation. It might be wise to invested in that rather than a nook or kindle.

Michelle have u tryed Jillian Hart she does Western...

I've now read all bar 2 of the Ruth Ann Nordin books... And if you are after some great reads check her out... Unfortunately u can only get her books on ereaders...

And be careful if u buy any books from Smashwords... Twice I have been charge for the same books... Once via Paypal and the other through my Bank Acc... I won't be buying through them again... I have sent msg to P/P and they have no idea... I couldn't get them to understand what had happen... In the end they stop replying... I can understand it happening once but not twice...
