Library Update

[desertvixen]

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.

Woo!

I feel like we need a kindle club! PM me your address, I have a related present for you.

And I'm now off to load that Anne books.

The Kindle is pretty awesome.

They have Anne's House of Dreams also and Rainbow Valley, but some of the older ones are apparently missing chunks of stuff where Anne/character is quoting someone else.

Speaking of Anne, did you read the Green Gables Yuletide fics yet?

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

I did not. For various reasons I red pretty much nothing of yuletide.

One my list though. I'm glad to hear they were good.

I recced one, with Rilla and Ken dealing with after-effects of WWI and married life, and a second one which has two of the secondary characters falling in love.

Check out my rec posts, there's some decent links.

Off to answer your PM!
