I have been known to step away from the computer.
Sunday, July 11th, 2010And when I do step away, if the Universe is working with me and not against me, I pick up my Kindle. Oh, how I love my Kindle — I cannot count the ways. You can have my iPod, but take my Kindle and I’ll hunt you down.
Here’s what’s currently on my Kindle. Some of these I’ve read through (One Day is *tremendous*. Can’t recommend it enough!), some of them I’ve dipped into but have yet to return to, some of them are more “literature,” and some of them are more “beach” reads. They may all not be my cup of tea (hard to know just yet), but they all grabbed my attention in one way or another — and the fact that they’re all there waiting for me gives me great joy! (Update: I do read “real” books — my most recent, by Jen Lancaster, is a must in paper since her footnotes are hilarious and Kindle {or maybe it’s me} isn’t great with footnotes.)
What are you reading? If you don’t currently have a book, but want one, see if any of these pique your interest!
