The next three books on my list to read are Mary Todd Lincoln by Jean Baker, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot and Terry Pratchett's 3rd book in Discworld, Equal Rites


 

I'd love to have a Borsa Bella Let's Do Lunch bag in Green Peony with Green Dots.

1. I've read this book many times since I found a very early edition (with two columns per page!) for free at my local library when I was a teenager, but it's been a few years since I've read it. I finally bought it for the Kindle and I think when I'm done with my current book I'll start this one. It will strange to read it in a different format.



2. I am supposed to get an Oberon for my b-day which means my current Borsa Bella bag will be too small, so I would love an eReader Travel Bag in Blue Christy for when we go on trips. Smiley

1. I'm just finishing up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, so my first order of reading this summer is to finish up that series. Then onto the the Dresden Files to finish that series up also.



2. If I were lucky enough to win, I think I would pick the Mulan Roo bag....love it!

This summer I plan on re-reading the Fablehaven series
http://www.amazon.com/Fablehaven-ebook/dp/B002OTW9Y0/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2

They were just fun.  Especially the first one.

As far as borsa bella...I love the travel bag with giraffes!

This contest reminds me that I NEED to take time for a guilty pleasure this summer. 
Like others have said, my TBR list is well over 700 books.  But I think I will continue with the
Outlander series.  I'm on the fourth book, Drums of Autumn. 


I think I would pick a Go Bag.  As for the fabric choice, I'm not sure right now.

Thanks to Harvey and the entire KB team for another great contest!  Here's my summer "guilty pleasure" reading.  I am starting the Anita Blake Vampire Hunters series by Laurell K. Hamilton - interestingly enough, Book 1 is called Guilty Pleasures.



I absolutely LOVE Borsa Bella products.  I have one Kindle bag from Melissa and the craftmanship and quality is great.  So really excited about the opportunity to win another one.  If I win, I would love the Black London eReader Roo Bag - I think it is beautiful and would go with any color cover I choose.  

 Good Luck Everyone!!

1.  I am terrible at making links.  But, first up for guilty summer reading is The Passage by Justin Cronin.  I just bought this book a few days ago and I am saving it for my upcoming trip to Seattle.

2.  I have been eyeing the Let's Do Lunch bags at Borsa Bellla - thanks to all the wonderful pictures posted on this site  Smiley.  I would love to order one in the Black London fabric.

the plan is to re read the twilight series and quite possibly the Harry Potter series this summer.  DH and I are driving to St. Louis this weekend, so we'll be doing a lot of reading

As for the bag, I've been keeping myself away from temptation, so I'll have to look, but it will have to be something big enough to hold crap that a toddler MUST have (since the world revolves around the Boss)

Personally Alle, I love the feet on the Boss.  Too cute!

As for Borsa Bella....I'm kind of in love with the Let's Do Lunch bag in Darcy's Drapes.

My guilty pleasure is Trapped by Jack Kilborn.  The guilt comes in because this book is sooooo twisted I can't put it down!

I would be happy with any Borsa Bella bag.  They are all great and it would be my first.
