New Stuff!!!

I bought the Kindle.  It is on its way, and I am so excited.  I'll update you all on how I like it once it comes in.

I'm hoping this will save me a little bit of money, and a lot of shelf space - At least until I move into a place of my own and can buy more bookshelves.  As it stands, I've already had to rotate the stock on the shelves in my room, due to the accumulation of more books than I had space.  I'm trying not to do that again.

I read 'Blood Bound' by Patricia Briggs, and 'For a Few Demons More' by Kim Harrison last week.  The more books I read by these two, the more I want to read.  In contrast to Laurell K. Hamilton, where I want to pay her to stop writing at this point.  Seriously, can there be a plot and sex?  Please?  Focus, for the love of Mike, and at least try to get both into the same book.

Anyway.

So, I'm the office manager at large again this week and next.  And, my Mom turns 60 today.  Not a good combination; I'm unlikely to get out of here in enough time to meet the folks for dinner, which rather abruptly became important to my mother some time yesterday.  Up until that point, it was a dinner for two.

So, back to work.  And, Kindle!!!!!!

LOL, oh so very true. She went from my 'must read' list to my 'shudder and make the sign of the cross' list.

i want a kindle so badly. I was on a flight the other week and one of the other passengers had one and it took everything for me not go up to him and ask him all about it.
Let me know what you think of it once you get it. I have a birthday coming up :)

Congrats on the new toy! I've been considering buying a Kindle so I'll be very curious to hear how you like it.

I adore Kim Harrison's books. She just can't write fast enough to please me.

How is the selection with the Kindle? Are you finding that everything you want to read is available for dowload? That was one thing I was wondering about.

I've only glanced at the books on my Amazon wish list so far to check out Kindle availability; about half of them seem to be available. We'll see about others. I'm more excited to see if I can get fanfic onto it, honestly.

Oh, I hadn't even thought about getting fanfic onto it. That would be fun!

I've had my Kindle about a week. I love it but I'm more of a news junkie -- bought it to read the WSJ and magazines moreso than books.

I'm already thinking about buying my technophobe mother one. She's an avid reader so maybe she'd forgive me. ;)
