I love my Kindle too but have to admit that my favorite is still a book I can hold in my hand, smell the pages, flip the page and hear that little crinkling sound and go back and forth with ease. However, when it comes to traveling, there's nothing more convenient than an ereader. Being able to take hundreds of books with you in one little device is fabulous!Christy Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507347504173676779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-48819868885919805502012-02-26T14:50:19.829-06:002012-02-26T14:50:19.829-06:00I had a similar eReader experience.

My best friend raved about his eReader for a year and half and was constantly harping on me to get one.<br /><br />It wasn't until a Kindle Christmas gift that I gave them a try and I was instantly hooked.

To make a long story short Ms Sala's publisher did not think her readers would like her new book that did not fit under her regular genre so they did not print it so Sharon printed it on her own electronically.<br /><br />It is different from what one is use to from Sala but it was an excellent read and I can't wait for her to explore more books in the women's lit area.<br /><br />Happy reading all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846452684409644214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-85291632751955254842012-01-23T22:35:05.614-06:002012-01-23T22:35:05.614-06:00Wonderful post Anne!!

After all the book talk we've engaged in over the past year or so, you've mentioned some authors I have not yet heard of, so thanks to you, I have some new ones to check out!<br /><br />Unlike most, I got my first Kindle with the intent of fully transitioning out of paperbacks. At the time, I was traveling extensively to Europe and Asia ALOT and couldn't fit a tons of shoes and a ton of paperbacks in my suitcase. Something had to give!!! I'm a self-proclaimed shoe 'ho AND I never know what I'll be in the mood to read, so switching to e-books seemed like a no-brainer. I still travel alot, but not nearly as much as I had been. I still do love my paperbacks though, but the Kindle does make my reading life easier!krisgils33https://www.blogger.com/profile/06971511383288530885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-52997624929933840892012-01-23T19:00:16.102-06:002012-01-23T19:00:16.102-06:00Tara, I've finally given up my little black no...Tara, I've finally given up my little black notebook and gone over to the dark side at Goodreads.

I read a tried and true author last week and didn't like the book then I read a new to me author and won't be purchasing any more of her books. Moving on...<br /><br />My e-book purchases...funny you mention naming your Kindle, I named my Nook Nancy. And the Nook fairy that comes at night to deliver new books is Nellie (I just noticed both are referenced to Little House on the Prairie lol).<br /><br />Teresa Reasor was a great find for me, I can't wait till she has new books out in that series.<br /><br />Kaylea Cross was introduced to me by Jackie and I have devoured all of her stuff and am begging for more.<br /><br />Karen Rose...I am in love with her books. Ronlyn suggested her to me and I love her stuff. I know she isn't a new author but I hadn't read her when Ronlyn suggested it.<br /><br />Jaycee Clark...Aly was the one that suggested her. I can't wait till Deadly Games comes out in Feb, I LOVED the whole series.<br /><br />Adrienne Giordano's Private Protector series....love them<br /><br />Rita Henuber, I am pretty sure that Christy is the one that suggested her, and she is now a must have for me.<br /><br />And finally...<br /><br />Trish McCallan, a new author that I wasn't sure I would like but I LOVE her and can't wait for more to come from her brain.<br /><br />Have a great week everyone.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857512146760238016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-13405858517556733852012-01-23T12:56:09.807-06:002012-01-23T12:56:09.807-06:00Hi Christy,

And wow moving on to the Kindle Fire, you go girl!<br /><br />One of my resolutions was to get back to recommend Monday , better late than never. I always read, but needed to make the time to post again.<br /><br />I am a HUGE Kindle fan! As someone who travels, I love not having to lug books with me for week long trips! And the bonus is all the new authors I have tried from suggestions here, because they are cheaper, and I must say all the classics I have re-read because they were free from Amazon. <br /><br />Some of Anne's list is new to me so I'll be off to Amazon to add to my Kindle TBR. <br /><br />This week I read Silver Sparks by Starr Ambrose and really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Thanks Anne for the great post, and Christy happy writing and hope your mom is better soon.<br /><br />Have a great week everyone!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243608360803425290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779923555333795934.post-89546515733427750852012-01-23T12:01:31.389-06:002012-01-23T12:01:31.389-06:00Hi Anne!

Forever His (A Time Travel Historical Romance) by Shelly Thacker. I think this was first published by Avon in the 90's and the author just recently republished it for ebook. Oh my. Such an awesome book. If you're not a fan of time travel books, don't let it put you off this fabulous romance. It's romantic, sweet, sexy and full of major angst. Just an absolutely lovely read. Here's the Amazon link if you want to check it out. At 2.99, it's definitely a bargain. http://www.amazon.com/Forever-His-Time-Travel-Romance-ebook/dp/B006NG0GXQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1327341273&sr=8-5<br /><br />Have a great week all!
