Here are some of the characters you'll meet inside these pages:

* A sport fisherman who gets taken on harrowing underwater ride by an angry white shark.
* An adventure angler whose boat is over turned by a 200 lb Amazon-river catfish.

I'm spending 3 weeks in a village in Italy this summer while my husband takes a class, so I belive I will be spending my days reading this, which is a guilty pleasure for sure because I spent more than $10 on it  Tongue



And I would love to use that prize toward a DX travel bag in My Purple Haiku.  Her bags are so pretty!

For starters, my guilty pleasures are Savor the Moment by Nora Roberts, Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin and The Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes.




 I also plan to start the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris; I was fortunate to purchase them a few weeks ago when they were very affordable.



The Borsa Bella bag I'm most interested in right now is the Mulan iPad Roo Bag, it's so gorgeous. I really love my Kindle travel bag.

I'm going to dive through the Wizard of Oz collection, and probably spend some time with George R. R. Martin.  It'll be "guilty" because his books are not free.  That is not all of what I'll do this summer but it's all I can think of at the moment. 

I never have a naked kindle so I like the large e-reader bag in Mulan.  :-)

1. My guilt pleasure would be reading as much as possible whenever possible ... I'm currently working on catching up on all the series I've been reading:Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series by Laurell K Hamiliton Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Careybook 2 in the series, The Necromancer by Michael Scottbook3 in the series and the Infinity Gate: Dark Glass Mountain by Sara Douglass. I would love to do it sitting in the sun but only time will tell if I get to.... rain rain go away:)

2. Haven't looked a lot at the Borsa Bella but I wouldn't mind having the off white oleander e-reader travel bag or one of the hobo bags.


hopefully I did this correctly... first post Smiley

I will be reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. I was almost turned off by this book because of all the hype but I am going to try it anyway. I love reading big books and I hope this one really grabs me.

I love Borsa Bella and have been eyeing the Kindle travel bags for awhile now. If forced to choose a pattern right now it would be the Popping Spring pattern.

My guilty summer pleasure reading:

1. "Spent: Memoirs of a Shopping Addict" by Avis Cardella. I realize it is anything but a "light" book, but I figure reading it will cause me to feel a little less guilty about my relatively small shopping indulgences.

2.  "Girl in Translation" by Jean Kwok.  I hear it's a page-turner.

3.  "The Imperfectionists".  Well, maybe.

Borsa Bella:

It's hard to choose, but I think the chocolate Kleo Bella Bag is my fave.
Or maybe the Mulan Roo Bag
Or maybe the Shower Clouds large e-reader bag
Or....

I like to save up a nice guilty pleasure for our annual cross-country vacation flight, and this year I think it'll be: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B003GYEGMU/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&n=133140011&s=digital-text . (That's Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich, in case the link doesn't work.)

Shopping Borsa Bella is a guilty pleasure in itself...I think I'd go for a Travel Bag, probably something in a black/gray print Smiley.

While my guilty pleasure is usually re-reading old favorites, I am thinking of starting the Steig Larsson series:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest



I am trying to decide between the Can't Buy Me Lava bag and the Meet Bag Black eReader Travel Bag.


Thank you Harvey for organizing the contest and thank you Borsa Bella for providing the prizes! Grin

Well I never win anything but what the heck....The book I plan on reading is


It's about 4 army wives in Fort Bragg, N.C. which is where I live, and the show Army Wives was based on this book.

As for the Borsa Bella item I would like an iPad sleeve or Roo in the Pink Dahlia, Mulan or 1000 Splendid Suns.

1.  I'm thinking of reading "Sleep Toward Heaven" by Amanda Eyre Ward. 
http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Toward-Heaven-Amanda-Eyre/dp/0060582294/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277518864&sr=8-1

2.  I'm coveting one of the Let's Do Lunch handbags, but am undecided about a fabric.   Undecided

I'm hoping it cools off sometime soon, so I can enjoy reading on my deck.  The books I plan on tackling first for pleasure reading are:
    


Borsa Bella has so many wonderful items, that it is always difficult to decide what to purchase.  At the moment I have my eye on the Midnight in the Garden Go Bag:

1. This summer my guilty pleasure reading will be The Selected Works of TS Spivet (DTB). I may also pick up The Thirteenth Tale. Oh, and I really should read The Help.


2. I've been looking at Borsa Bella's Let's Do Lunch bags and think they would make a great summer bag.

I don't really consider reading a guilty pleasure - it's a necessity!  And I don't usually line up a bunch of books to read.  I just go on a whim most of the time.  I do have two books on pre-order that will arrive the beginning of July, so I'll use them.
The first is the new Donna Andrews book Stork Raving Mad and the second is Annette Blair's Death by Diamonds.
 

I've been looking at the Borsa Bella bags and I'm not sure exactly which one I'd want.  There are so many beautiful choices.  I am leaning towards a Roo bag for my Kindle in Purple Haze though.

My Kindle, who is my new BFF, has already been introduced to the following summer guilty pleasures, both on the beach and poolside:

   

I also intend to read Jennifer Weiner's newest one when it comes out next month:


I love Borsa Bella's bags and have been eyeing several, but the Black London Extra Large e-Reader bag is my first choice.
