I am gearing up for Summer beach & poolside reading.
I am starting on Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult right now and have Shanghai Girls by Lisa See on my list to read next.
I am in love with the Zinnia Stories bag by Borsa Bella

Guilty pleasures? There's quite a few good series that I follow with new books being released this summer. I'm sure I'll cave at some point and buy the latest Stephanie Plum book, Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich. But the book I'm most looking forward to is Total Eclipse, by Rachel Caine. It's the eighth and final book in her Weather Warden series, and like the other books in that set, the main reason to read it is likely to be her male lead, David. YUM.  Guilty pleasure indeed! As for Borsa Bella, good heavens, I want it all! LOL I love my Let's Do Lunch handbags from Melissa, but I think I might be ready for a large hobo tote bag this time, probably with Black Beauty as the primary fabric. |

My summer reading is starting out with Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. I already have a Borsa Bella Kindle case, but if I had a BB iPad case I would surely have to buy an iPad! |

Just finished, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson. What a great series and sorry we won't be seeing more from this author. Next on my list:   But hiding behind a screen name, I can admit my real guilty (and secret) pleasure is a bunch of Harlequin books  (I just downloaded some by Abby Gaines and Jane Porter). Hadn't read one since my early years of high school but got started again due to some of the freebies. I like to occasionally sneak one in between longer or more serious books. They are mindless and can be finished in a day. The only problem is trying to quickly switch books if someone asks to see my Kindle  If I won, I'd use the gc towards a medium hobo. Saw some pictures posted here and fell in love. I've been trying to justify getting one for the summer (it would be another guilty pleasure as I put myself on a purse and shoe buying hiatus for now  ) |

I'll be reading Lincoln's Last Hours on my patio (under the umbrella for sure.) This is my favorite place to read at home so I am always looking forward to spring from November on. Should I be a winner, I really like that black waterproof bag. |

I'm in. What I consider some of my summer lighter reads. The Stephanie Plum series is so funny & makes me laugh & talks about food. Joanne Fuke's mysteries with recipes. They are light, wonderful books, in case no one has heard of them. I am drawn towards books where the characters talks about food. Drawn to Life: 20 Golden ...by Walt Stanchfield is a wonderful book that I just started to read, that is a kindle book. I love Kindle art books!!! Gets you motivated to get out & about & do some sketching/drawing. For those that remember drawing as a child & being relaxed & having fun, try this book. This book is Volume 1, there is a Volume 2. I could mention more, like the Sookie Stackhouse series if you like vampire books & more.  Too many books, too little time. I would love to get the Borsa Bella, Red Rocks Travel Bag for a Kindle DX. I am saving up for the KDX version. Thank you in advance!!!! I hope I win!!!!! Update: I just pre-ordered the new KDX tonight. Yippeeee! |

What a great contest! I'm new to these boards as of today--in fact, I only recently decided to get a Kindle and may have to save up a little before I take the plunge--but thanks to all of you, I now know that I want a DecalGirl skin, Oberon cover, and Borsa Bella bag when I do get one. Anyway, I'm a high school librarian who loves young adult literature so luckily was able to check out about 18 books to get me through until I can buy the Kindle, and one series I've read already this summer that I really like is the Ruby Oliver series by E. Lockhart: The Boyfriend List  The Boy Book (which I couldn't find a link to) The Treasure Map of Boys  And I was happy to see there's another one out that I haven't read: Real Live Boyfriends  Also, just because I love recommending great books, here are three adult titles that I've read multiple times because they are so good. The first two are great southern novels, The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy, which a lot of you have probably already read, and One Foot in Eden by Ron Rash, a novel that took my breath away:   And for anyone who likes poetry, Thomas Lux's God Particles is absolutely amazing--funny, serious, and profound all at the same time:  As for which Borsa Bella bag I'd want--right now I'm torn between the Botany of Desire, Blue Christy, Agatha Crimson, and Can't Buy Me Lava designs--though the Black London also just caught my eye! Very hard to choose. |

I don't read a lot of fiction, but a recent recommendation has me interested in reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... I never read it "the first time around". It was the second thing I bought for my Kindle in April'10, but I've not yet started it. Actually I bought the DT omnibus a while back, but it's approximately as big as an Encyclopedic Dictionary and my mind (and wrists) just couldn't wrap around it!
For a Borsa Bella, I would choose a large e-reader bag in Zinnia Stories, to harmonize with the JAVOedge Kyoto cover.
Thanks for this fun contest!

Well it's HOT here in the south, and while I would love to sit on my porch and do some reading, it ain't gonna happen. I intend to find a nice comfortable air conditioned spot and catch up on the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. A while back I bought two volumes of books containing three books each. I'd love to start one and go straight through the series.   I'd love a Borsa Bella travel bag, but cannot decide which color I like best. There are lots of pretty colors. |

1. My next guilty summer reading pleasure will be The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I have already read Swiss Family Robinson and Maeve Binchey's Heart and Soul and a few others. Love my Kindle. 2. I have my eyes on the Blue Christy and Where the Green Ferns Grow travel bags. I hope I'm a lucky winner! |

If it's not too late... I plan on reading:   and   and also the Stephanie Plum series. I would love a medium sized hobo bag in Black London or Midnight in the Garden. |

I can't afford to buy a BB right now, but I've wanted one for so long!  I'm planning to pick up The Passage and Water for Elephants. The BB I fell in love with when I first saw it is the Flowers in the Attic ereader travel bag (and ironically one of the books I most want to see on my Kindle!).  |
