Thank you for the welcomes, folks. I am still trying to figure out how to use the site tools. I usually prefer to use a colored font, but that doesn't seem to be working when I click onto it. I just see some brakcets and the word, "magenta".

In response to cassidym -- I have tried the Jack Reacher series, but just can't seem to get into those books. Maybe I'll try again sometime. I have a friend who's a big fan.

I've noticed that members have listed their various reading devices under their avatars; I neglected to mention I also have an iPad, but really find it unwieldy, so prefer using the Sony Reader.

I don't know if it's okay to bring non-reading issues up on here, I think I saw some kind of off-topic sign when looking around the site. I do have one Facebook friend from whom I've yet to hear who lives in Freehold, NJ -- and area hit hard by the storm. Another described having to walk up 15 flights of stairs to an unheated apartment and the difficulty of getting a bus out of NYC. It was very heartwarming to see pictures of the pets being rescued by Emergency Service Personnel. I think this is one of the lessons we took from Katrina.

Anyway, back to reading -- I'm currently reading THE SNOWMAN This will be my 3rd novel by Jo Nesbo. I just finished his most recent,THE PHANTOM. Who knew that this Scandinavian city (Oslo), usually so pristinely portrayed, was such a cesspool for the drug trade?

I'm not here simply in hopes of winning a new device, but want to know if there's anything that tells you that you have been entered into the contest - a verification of your submission, etc. All I've seen so far is that you need to post, stating what your favorite forum is. Any assistance any of you could offer would be most appreciated. Thanks. I hope everyone is looking forward to a good weekend.
