A Little Light Reading

I mentioned in this post how much I was enjoying the Kindle that WH got me for Christmas, along with the cheap and free books I've gotten through Book Bub and other services.

I've traveled a bit since that last post, and I was sick a couple of times (this has been the worst winter for bronchitis ever!) and so the Kindle has come in really handy.  I've really enjoyed being able to flit from one novel to another, or immediately read a sequel without having to leave the house (especially when I was sick!)  And when I'm traveling, I've really enjoyed how lightweight the Kindle is and how it fits in my carry on without taking up much room.

And it's kind of fun to keep a record of what I've read, too, now that I think about it.

Obsessed! Or how I got distracted by technology

I mentioned yesterday that I had gotten totally distracted by my new Kindle that the hubs got me for Christmas.  I never thought I really wanted a tablet, but I finally decided that for traveling and so forth a reading device would be nice.  He decided on the Kindle Fire HD.  It's a great little device.  Although you can't tell it from the photo, the resolution is wonderfully clear and sharp.


And then my friend told me about BookBub.  Have you heard of it?  All you do is go to their website, enter your email address and the kind of reader you have and the types of books you like to read, and it sends you a daily email of available books under $2.99.  Best of all, almost every day there are several free books to choose from.  Totally free!

 And it got me hooked.

Here are the books I've read so far this year...

Yup, I was kind of obsessed, I think.  Now we know why I almost gave up reading when my children were small...  I would have been accused of neglect.

And best of all, most of them were free or close to it. 

So now we know why I haven't done much sewing so far this year.  But I am going to start exercising a bit of restraint and get busy.

Good plan, don't  you think?
