I usually study up on a book so well before I download it that I'm fairly sure I'll like it without getting a sample. I'm careful how I spend my Swagbucks!Donna.

Most of the rest of my book club liked it though, so I shut up. :)I need to make a decision on the netbook situation. However, with all the medical bills coming in, I just don't know if I should spend the money. :(Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-9115962351480956832011-02-25T18:23:01.889-06:002011-02-25T18:23:01.889-06:00Water for Elephants is one of the best books I'...Water for Elephants is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Do you have to "back up" your Nook to something? I'm such a klutz, I could see myself dropping something like that about an hour after I added a pile of new books to it.....Forty Pound Sackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532270470379845645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-44918176491819270772011-02-25T13:59:45.395-06:002011-02-25T13:59:45.395-06:00I am so intrigued by a Kindle that I'm sure I&...I am so intrigued by a Kindle that I'm sure I'll get one someday. On the other hand, my brother read that Boarders book store is shutting down both where he lives and here in Anchorage. That saddens me as I love to spend an afternoon in a bookstore. I will miss the displays calling my attention to a book or magazine that I might never have considered. We used to have a local bookstore chain that was wiped out by the big companies. Now the big chains are being killed by electronics.

I think the Water for Elephants sounds interesting as I went to the site that gave a write up about it. The bank is giving a free Kindle when you open a new account so I think I will do that and give it a try. If I don't like it (the Kindle) at least it didn't cost me anything. I have always loved to read. As a child I spent many, many hours reading.<br /><br />Love your new header picture, you always have good ones.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-81487046540859768362011-02-25T07:54:14.787-06:002011-02-25T07:54:14.787-06:00I had a stash of books all lined up for winter rea...I had a stash of books all lined up for winter reading and I've come to the bottom of the pile so now I'll be using my Kindle. I'm looking forward to seeing what all they have to offer. I can't spend much but have heard there are some free ones out there so that is what I'm looking at first. We have a good 6 inches on the ground so far today and it was predicted here so they are right on the money...just waiting for it to clear so we can shovel out once again.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
