My Kindle

I got a Kindle for Christmas from Jeff and I love it! I take it everywhere with me.  I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, even though I did specifically request it. My kindle is so light and portable. I love that I can carry around an almost unlimited number of books with me. I was always slogging around books with me and some of them were prettty big/heavy. So this is nice. I've also managed to find a cache of free books from amazon and another website. I currently have 26 books on my kindle and I think I've paid for about 8 of them. Sweet!
Currently I am reading a book called Doan & Carstairs Mysteries, Book Two: The Mouse in the Mountain  (the delightful mystery classic!). That last part makes me laugh.
I read the first book, which is more like a short story; and I really enjoyed it. This series was written in the 1940's by a guy named Norbert Davis here is a brief history. Davis wrote a lot of short stories, however; not a lot of his work is available in print anymore. His characters make me laugh out loud with their comments and the way they behave.  So far the books have been a quick read and I've enjoyed them. For $0.99, it's a good deal, I plan on buying the other 2 or 3 novels that are available.

I just got a Kindle for Christmas too (from the bf) and I'm in love. You must checkout pixelofink.com she posts free kindle books daily. I have too many books to read now I think I may never go anywhere. :)

ps: in case you're wondering I stumbled over here from your yelp profile. You were listed on this week's Yelp newsletter.

Yay for Yelp! I'm addicted to it. I didn't know there was a newsletter.
I'll definitely check out that site. Thanks for checking my blog site out!

I wasn't sure I was going to love my e-reader (I have a Nook) but I am smitten with it. That said, I still love "real books, "but it's really nice having the Nook as an option. Especially with the freebies out there!
