I enjoyed Half Broke Horses but think I liked Glass Castle a little more. It was neat to see how they connected however. Thanks for the recommendation Charla!
Last night I started Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner. I have read and enjoyed several Jennifer Weiner books so I'm really thinking I will probably love this one as well.
Another thing about Charla is that she got a Kindle for Christmas. I have really been thinking a lot about getting one of these fancy pants reading devices. Hubby said I can use some of our tax money to get one for myself because he knows how much I love to read.
So, recently I have been looking into the differences between an Amazon Kindle and a Barnes and Noble Nook.
I have read articles comparing / contrasting the two, looked through reviews, and thought and thought about them.
The thing is... I don't purchase books very often. Usually, I get my books at the local library. I also look for several books at garage sales.
The last two books I got from the library- Half Broke Horses & Best Friends Forever are each $10 each in e-book form. That is $20 I could save instead of buying the books.
So now I am torn...I really want one, but don't want to spend the money on the books because I would buy books all the time!
Do you have an eReader? Which one do you have? What do you think of it?
I've thought about the Kindle ever since Oprah said it's the best thing EVER. . .I am not sure . . . There's something to that nice feeling of tangible pages. I did give in and start listening to books on CD, so maybe someday I'll like the Kindle. Have read Glass Castle - wonderful book, so is Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner.
ReplyDeleteI love to read and it would be great to have all my books on one little electronic device. But I'm like you - I usually check out my books from the library. I am not about to spend $10 a book every time I need a new book to read! Good luck with your decision.
