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 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.

Apparently Windy Poplars is not included because it's the last written and after the magic cut-off. The things you learn.

I like the free, also, because right now my to-read pile is so big I can't really justify adding to it on the Kindle for charge.
