I just bought a kindle because my husband said no more space for my books. My sons' books, files, toys, etc take up more space than my books. Sad. Have been borrowing and reserving books from library now. Now reading \"Devotion of Suspect X\". Just finished \"The Help\". Recommend to read \"The Help\" --> female power.

Where do you buy/ download your ebooks from?

I cant believe I did not find out earlier about this thread. I am now reading plenty of magazines such as Real Simple and SELF, borrowed from library.

Currently I am also reading the entire series of 'No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' by Alexander McCall Smith. Taking a break from non-fiction at the moment.

the exciting part about enjoying these light reads is that my 12yo dd is also reading the same titles together with me! ;D

it is a bit odd for me to read chick-lit cos im a guy…


i love non-fiction books, like tipping point, freaknomics. any such books can recommend me, or drop me a line and we can chat about it…!

Managed to read 'The 5 Love Languages' by Gary Chapman. It is very useful if both parties are willing to give it a try :love: , but :stupid: if it is one-sided effort.


Now reading 'Anger Management Games for Children' by Deborah M Plummer. Reading it for my children, and for myself too! :oops:

I am currently reading \" The 5 languages of Appreciation in the Workplace\"... :please: :please: Another good book from Gary Chapman!

Hi all bookworms,


Was thinking of doing a book swap in Club Bookworms, that is exchanging books we no longer want to read with someone else’ books we want. It’s good recycing and we can also let others have the books we no longer want, and vice versa. Anyone keen?

Since you like tipping pont, have you read blink n outliers? Just finished reading superfreakanomics. Other books i can think of off-hand:

The undercover economist by Tim Harford
A short history of nearly everything by Bill Bryson
Discover your inner economist by Tyler Cowen
The return of depression economics by Paul Krugman
The world is flat by Thomas Friedman
