* A sport fisherman who gets taken on harrowing underwater ride by an angry white shark.

This is my very first post to Kindleboards!!!  I've been trying to get a feel for things for the past week, so when I ran across this thread, I jumped on it Smiley

My guilty pleasure for the summer is the Twilight Saga - why?  I've already read it 8 times (all 4 books AND I just read Stephenie's new book, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner).  I have 75 books on my Kindle waiting for me to read them, but Twilight is my guilty pleasure and each time a new movie comes out, I re-read the entire series again.

As far as the travel bags go, they are all beautiful - how could anyone pick just one???  However, if I *had* to just have one, I'd pick the Twilight travel bag for Kindle.  It's beautiful as they all are Smiley

Just making it in under the wire!

I think that my next "guilty pleasure" book will be Book 2 in the Kate Daniels series:

Depending on what I think, I'll either give up on the series or plow through the rest of them!  (I was kind of "meh" about the first book, but have heard such good things about the series that I want to give it one more chance.)

I love all of the Borsa Bella bags (and her fabric taste is exquisite!), but I think I'd like my next one to be one of the Let's Do Lunch handbags!

1.  My list of summer reading (and not feeling guilty at all since I only get to read on weekends..) - includes Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane,  Act of Treason by Vince Flynn, Seven Days from Sunday by M.H. Sargent,  and Team of Rivals (about Abraham Lincoln's cabinet) by Doris Kearns Goodwin.   Hopeful???

2) I would adore the Bella Flowers in the Attic Travel Bag.. I already have 2 others and LOVE them!

1.  My summer reading guilty pleasure is the Sookie Stackhouse series.  Love it so far!
2.  I love Borsa Bella bags.  I've been eyeing a medium hobo bag or a new gadget roo bag.

My summer reading has gotten off to an great start. I just finished reading "Hide" by Lisa Gardner
It was such a great read that I ordered 5 more books by this author.
   I am very likely to buy a Mulan Let's Do Lunch Handbag if I win. I have been wanting a blue handbag and think this one is very pretty!

I have so many books to be read on Kindra, it is hard to decide what to read next. I think I am going to take some time to read my favorite -



I would really enjoy the Lady Mariko's Dress eReader Travel Bag to take Kindra out in style.

My guilty pleasure was "Chasing Fire" by Suzanne Collins.  My older son had suggested I read "The Hunger Games" which was the first in this series.  I was so happy when "Chasing Fire" was released on Kindle.  I hope the third one gets released on Kindle soon after it is published.

I already have several BB bags, which I really like.  I think I would like a Laceworks Hip Zip.

Jen Lancaster's My Fair Lazy is my guilty pleasure. Mainly because it is a penguin book priced over $9.99...that's where the guilt comes in!!!


My favorite Borsa Bell is the I Heart My Spirograph Travel Bag.

Sitting in the yard reading just wouldn't be the same if it didn't include a Dr Who book or two.  I think I'm starting with this one:



I like a lot of the Borsa Bella bags, but I think the Black Beauty travel bag would go with just about anything:

I am currently reading Gone With the Wind and my next Guilty Pleasure will probably be to start downloading the Xanth series of books from Piers Anthony and reading them all over again in Kindle format.

I like the Red Rocks eReader bag, but I would probably let my wife choose something she wants if I were to win.

1.  Not so much guilty, but definitely a pleasure so far for the writing.  Long book so I expect it'll keep me busy for a while.  After that probably a Stephanie Plum book - I'm up to Twelve Sharp.


2.  Definitely a travel bag - I'm really liking the Giraffes CAN Dance fabric.

Thanks for the contest!

1. I'm currently reading Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas
 

2. Not sure which BB bag I'd get if I won as I just went back to her site for the first time in a while and saw at least five bags
 that made me go "Ooh, I want that!"(which is the reason I don't visit the site often..) Really partial to the Purple Haze and Mulan e-reader bags.

For me, nothing is more fitting than reading "low country" tales while sitting on the beach down south.  I plan to read the new Dorothea Benton Frank "Lowcountry Summer" and "The Beach House" by Mary Alice Monroe.  I also can't wait for Nora Robert's new book "The Search".  Ahhhh...I love summer!  A time to relax and catch my breath.  And read.

I haven't ordered a Borsa Bella bag YET.  I LOVE the travel bag in the Botany of Desire pattern.

Wow, this looks like a great contest and I am going to try the link thing.  Here goes.

This summer I hope to read



And many other books that catch my attention.

I like the Borsa Bella Charlotte's Web and Black Beauty.  I also like the bags they are producing to aid in the Gulf Coast disaster.

Yossarian, I love that series!  However, I wanted to let you know that I wasn't "hooked" until Book 2, and I've talked to several other people who've felt the same way.  So if you read Book 1 and like it, but don't love it, I recommend giving Book 2 a try before you decide to move on to something else!

I'm reading Patricia Briggs Silver Borne and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash for starters. I would take any of the Borsa Bella kindle covers - they are all gorgeous!

I'm a newbie here so I hope these links work correctly - if not feel free to give me a smack Smiley

My guilty pleasure is a re-reading of Sense and Sensibility.  I love that book, and just can't get enough.  There is nothing better to me than being on the deck, the kiddos in the pool, and Elizabeth!

I would love to have a Borsa Bella Hip Zip bag!  They look perfect for grabbing on the go.  I have a Medium Hobo Bag and I absolutely love it!

My guilty pleasure this summer will be to go back and read the Outlander series again!  I read them many years ago and want to enjoy them again. 

I keep changing my mind about which Borsa Bella bag I want next.  I have a couple of sleeves for my K1, but I've been looking at the Medium Hobo bag.  Or maybe the Let's Do Lunch?  Or the Roo?  LOL, see, I can't make up my mind!   Grin

1. I'll be reading:

Ted Dekker's series The Circle Trilogy (Black/Red/White) for modern fiction
Big God by Britt Merrick - non-fiction
War and Peace - for my classic which I never attempted before the Kindle
Crazy Love by Francis Chan - another non-fiction if I have time leftover

2.  I would love, love, love the Red Rocks Medium Hobo Bag!!!  I'd also like to get a Can't Buy Me Lava E-Reader Bag to go with it! Smiley

I do not normally read Bio's but I am going to read Carol Burnett's new book. I use to enjoy her tv show when it was on and she always seemed like a really nice person when ever you saw her on talk shows.
 


As for Borsa Bella, well there is so much to pick from but I think I like this purse.

I just started Carol Burnett's new autobiography This Time Together and will also be reading Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Series, all on my wonderful Kindle!

How to choose a Borsa Bella? I just received my new Lets Do Lunch bag, and I have my eye on another one, perhaps in the Mulan print. I'd like to have a Medium Hobo too. See? You can't choose just one!

I have been slowly reading my way through the Anne of Green Gables Series.  I am ready for something a little more fast paced.  I may read Street Lawyer by John Grisham.  Or a few cheesy Knitting Mysteries.  (Amazon is down right now, so I can't link) 

And I would definitely choose a Borsa Bella Travel Bag.
