Library Update


The Kindle has 42 books on it, and only 1 cost me anything.  I've been able to get rid of 6 actual books.  Some of the books on the Kindle are "desert island" choices (i.e., if this was all I ever had to read) like Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Rilla of Ingleside, and The Velveteen Rabbit.

A lot of what I picked up is "Oooh, interesting and free" so no help with reduction of books.  Not that having less books is really a goal of mine, however, more like maximizing the collection.

Once my feline visitors are gone, and I have my bookroom back, I think I'm buying a new bookcase.

I also need to make some inroads on my to-read pile, which means not buying any for awhile.

I really think I need to get a kindle. Spacewise, while traveling it would save a lot of room. I am curious though if using one is as satisfying as reading a real book.

I got a kindle for Christmas too and found lots of free Mark Twain short stories which I love. I've done some shopping for things as I also got an amazon voucher but I like finding free things too. I got a huge chunk of lm montgomery books for $5 or so, including a few I don't have and bizarrely all the Anne series bar Anne of Windy Willows.
