I love this meme, it inspires me to be a bit more organized than usual!
Hello relentless readers! I hope you had a glorious week of reading.
I’ve finally done it. I’ve ordered a Kindle. This will be my very first e-reader. I kept it old school for a long while. I don’t know how I feel about this turn of events quite yet. I almost feel guilty. Is that weird? So, I’ll see how it goes and keep you updated.
This was a good, if slower, week of reading for me.

Farewell February! <~~ My monthly wrap-up post. Warning! I do a wee bit of bragging.
That’s it folks. Have a lovely week and happy reading!
Thanks a million times over for hanging out with me here. I appreciate it more than you know.

I hope you enjoy your Kindle! I really like my Nook, and find that I use it in ways that I didn't physical books, like easy propping on my music stand or on the treadmill. There's room for both!

That cartoon is cracking me up. I tend to be a paper book sort of person, but don't feel guilty about your Kindle! I hope you love it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of e-readers! I've had two different Nooks and now an iPad. I love reading on them. It is such a different experience, but I love the fact that I can read anywhere and even in the dark. Enjoy!

I haven't got a Kindle, but when I use my ereader I feel bad, too. But there's a good balance to be had 🙂 Always loved the cover of Moloka'i but never actually found out what it was about.

One undeniable truth is you can read faster on a Kindle. For this reason alone I know you will love it. Congratulations on your Kindle! 🙂 Did you get a Fire? If so you will probably spend more time reading things like Angry Birds at first… LOL. But then you will see you can read more by using the Kindle. 😉

I was adamant about never owning a Kindle, once upon a time….now I love mine. It will never replace treebooks for me, but it's a nice thing to have. I use mine for about 1/4 to 1/3 of my reading. It's wonderful for traveling.

I was the same, until I received my Kindle as a birthday present… And I haven't looked back! It comes in very handy, especially for travelling. Nothing will replace ink and paper though, of course! I hope you like yours 🙂

I had a friend send me my first Kindle as a gift and I too felt like I was cheating. I won a Kindle Fire recently and love it but the battery dies to quickly for me and that never happens with a printer book. lol Enjoy!

I know when I first got an e-reader, I felt a bit guilty and almost like the guy in the cartoon, but then I got one and was completely addicted. Now I can read either the Nook or Kindle app on my Nexus and I'm in love. I really enjoy changing the font and the size of the font. In some ways, I've learned to hate paperbacks where sometimes I'm squinting to see the page.

Oww have fun with your e-reader. You will find that switching between paper books and your kindle is a possibility ;).Curious what your thoughts on Moloka'i are. I am reluctant to pick that one up. Have a great week!

I have an iPad that I use the Kindle app on and I like it. I really only use it if I am interested in a book that has a long wait at the library or is unavailable. I like it for convenience but its not my preferred way to read. But, now you can loan books to or receive them from anyone with a kindle account. So I could loan you a book really easily if it ever came up. :)I loved Moloka'i, I am interested to hear what you think. That is the island my husband's family is from. 🙂

Ha! I love that cartoon, it made me chuckle. I recently inherited my Mum's old Kindle when she got a shiny new one…not sure how I feel about it. It's sitting on my coffee table looking at me but I haven't used it yet. The first step is allowing it into my home…who knows how long it will take before I feel ready to read a book on it!Mariehttp://www.girlvsbookshelf.blogspot.com

Hello, Just discovered your blog and can't drag myself away! I'm just getting used to my Kindle after many moons of saying I would never get one – I actually quite like it! Looking forward to working my way through your reviews – my goodness, you must read fast to get through so many books! Happy Reading x

A Kindle – whoop! I think you will like it. For me, it was a love-hate thing for several years. My first one was not a touch screen though. Touch screen is essential for a successful experience, imo. Now, after committing to my Fire HD, I don't even like to read paper books at all anymore. I get a little indignant in fact. I look forward to seeing what you think.
