    Congrats on your kindle, and wishing you many happy reading hours.

    Am reading to and with my 8 year old son, and we're on the third Harry Potter book.
    I also just finished: Because They Hate, by Brigitte Gabriel.

    I have read "The Help" by Katherine Stockett and just finished "Racing in the Rain: My Life as a Dog" by Garth Stein. Both quick, enjoyable reads. Kindles are amazing!

    I'm in the process of reading "Leaving" by Karen Kingsbury. Unlocked, also written by her, was good too. :] I cried reading it.

    Jodi Picoult - Author..you can't go wrong. I personally recommend either Nine Minutes or My Sisters Keeper (yes, the same one as the movie.) it will make you cry! Good luck!

    edit: to say that the book is NOTHING like the movie....even the story is different so even if you've seen the movie you will be awe struck by the book.

    I also have a Kindle, love that thing, it is so handy and amazing. At the moment I am reading a book called Dune: The Machine Crusade. It's a sci-fi book from the Dune series. I just finished a book called Federation, another sci-fi and also have started reading a bit here and there of the Iliad, and will probably get around to starting the book Water for Elephants sometime soon. Can you tell I love to read?

    I just started a book today titled "it's not summer without you".. about teenage love, not sure if you're interested in that genre or not, but I like it so far :) Books by James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series are good too; suspense/ romance. His books are a definate page-turner. I can finish one of his books in a matter of days!

    The Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz, re-reading my favorites Tuesdays With Morrie by MItch Albom and The Giver by Lois Lowry. I also have cracked open The Count Of Monte Cristo and Tipping The Velvet. For a good belly laugh (though I hate to give him money) I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.

    I'm in the process of reading "Leaving" by Karen Kingsbury. Unlocked, also written by her, was good too. :] I cried reading it.

    Karen Kingsbury is awesome! I got unlocked for Christmas and read the whole thing in under 5 hours with no breaks. I had a huge emotional hangover after that because I cried the whole time. It is very dear to my heart because my seven year old son has autism.

    I am reading Jeanette Oke's Seasons of the Heart Series and "These will not be left behind" and finished the Love Comes Softly series a couple of months ago. I love Jeanette Oke books! I'm also reading the Rose Trilogy by Beverly Lewis.

    Jodi Piccoult....LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Also, Kristin Hannah. Winter Garden is probably the best book I have ever read....and I have read THOUSANDS of books.

    Crossing to Safety (Wallace Stegner) is the best book I ever read. I also really enjoyed Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and am currently working my way through Michelle Moran's books, which are phenomenal (Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen, Cleopatra's Daughter, and Madame Toussand). And Lamb, by Christopher Moore, is hysterical, but if you're a reverent religious type person, I don't recommend it (it's about Jesus's childhood friend, Biff. Go from there, lol).

    I am reading Heaven Is For Real. It's a four year old boy's account about how he went to Heaven. The story is written by his father. It is so refreshing on how he gives his accounts of how heaven is. Check it out it will truly strengthen your faith. Oh it's by Todd Burpo
