ENDS THIS WEDNESDAY


  • To Review: Whisper of a Witch by Suza Kates
  • To Review: The King's Bastard by Rowena Cory Daniels
I received both titles via the authors, and both sound awesome.  What's even cooler?  The King's Bastard is part of a trilogy, and each book will be released a month apart.  That means no long wait for the readers--score!

  • Publisher: Anthropology of an American Girl by Hilary Thayer Hamann
This isn't a paranormal, so unless I fall in love with this book, I'll probably only post a review up on Goodreads and Amazon when I finish it.

And last, but certainly not least.....


YES I GOT A KINDLE!  I finally gave in after seeing the price cut (I was originally gonna wait for Kindle 3 to come out... whenever that would be, but impatience got the better of me).  I seriously wish I didn't wait as long as I did.  This thing is so cool, and the keypad doesn't annoy me AT ALL, which is something I had major worries about.


    That's it for me.  What did you all get?

      I'm still holding out for the Kindle...seeing all the paperbooks on my shelf I have a hard time justifying it. Then I see all the ebooks I have and I'm back to wanting it. Decisions, decisions!

      Hello fellow Kindle owner! I was so excited when I got mine. I spent hours just playing with the thing. I hope you like it!

      Yes I finally have! And I'm loving it so far ;)

      ---------------

      Missie, is the gela skin the silicone cover? I ended up buying a hard case cover (I think?) for it. Is the Gela Skin better?

      ---------------

      Buy the books you normally would either be iffy about, or you know you probably won't read more than once in e-book format. Then buy the paperbacks and hardcovers of your favorite authors. Ever since I started book blogging, I've accumulated A LOTTTT of printed books. My room's not be enough!

      ---------------

      Thank you! I've started transferring ebook ARCs that authors have sent me to my Kindle. And then I sent something from NetGalley. And I bought a book! Lol

      Thanks Corrine :) I'm very excited to read the two books. I'll actually be starting one over the read-a-thon if I catch up to the other books I'm supposed to read. Either way, expect reviews soon! :)

      -----------------

      Haha thanks Stephanie! Yeah I was playing with mine. The PDFs are kinda weird to adjust to, as are the book lists. I wish there were folders I could make :/

      Great books, I'm, so glad to see that you got a Kindle despite your worry about the keypad, because that is my worry to, and now I know its not that bad from a fellow person who thought it would be.

      Once I finally got my Kindle, I couldn't believe I had put off getting one for so long!

      I hadn't heard of The King's Bastard before, but it looks good. Looking forward to your review of it!

      Ah! I got a Kindle a few weeks ago, I still don't know how I feel about it... but I'm glad you can get classic tales for free from Amazon!
