For all our new friends and kindleboard addicts, reserve a spot on the thread and start listing what you've read over the course of the month.  Everyone lists their own thing really - number of locations, number of pages, opinions and whatever else they want .... then in April, one of your friendly neighbourhood statistic geeks (and there are quite a few of us here) will crunch the numbers and come back with totals and overviews of how much we're reading ... its good good fun.

1.  Shakespeare by Bill Bryson               2570 locations      Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          A well documented explanation of the lack of personal information about Shakespeare written in a
          reader friendly and interesting way.  I found it fascinating.
2.  Baling by Carol Hanrahan                  3108 locations       Smiley Smiley
          Coming of age story written more for the young adolescent than the adult audience
3.  Healing Touch by Jenna Anderson       1302 locations       Smiley Smiley
          Very light, somewhat predictable romance
4.  The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson       7026 locations       Smiley Smiley Smiley Cheesy
          Difficult to categorize, but a true pleasure to read.
5.  The Skull Ring by Scott Nicholson        4882 locations       Smiley Smiley Smiley
          A thriller that kept me guessing until the end, fun read
6. The Misguided Souls of Magnolia Springs by Olivia Darnell   11180 locations        Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Great characters, good story, a little talky in places
7.  Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires #1)  by Rachel Caine   4009 locations          Smiley Smiley
          Quick read, fairly interesting, annoying cliff hanger ending
8.  Take my Picture by Giselle Ellis             2998 locations       Smiley
          Fairly predictable, main characters take forever to come to an almost foregone conclusion
9.  The Cinderella Curse by J.L. Penn         1493 locations       Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Not much substance, but an enjoyable read
10. Widow's Tale by Maureen Miller            4434 locations       Smiley Smiley
          Enjoyable characters and plot; writing is overdone and distracting in sections
11. Reunion by J.L. Penn                          5450 locations        Smiley Smiley Cheesy
          Well written with believable plot and characters; good light reading
