My Favorite Things

I confess that I am a bit of tech junkie.  I like gadgets that make my life easy.  I love new inventions.  I haven't regretted any of the tech purchases that I've made in the last several years.  Meaning that if I had it to do all over again....I would make the same purchases.  So on to my new favorite thing....

My Nook by Barnes & Noble

I have boxes and boxes of books in my attic that I have no place to display.  My Nook solves this problem.  I can store 1500 books on this bad boy and it's the width of a pencil.  Books are slightly cheaper than buying in the store and I can download a new book in seconds rather than having to drive to the bookstore or library only to find that the book you want isn't in stock.  It's a lot easier to carry than a book (imagine carrying around an 800 page Harry Potter book in your purse).  I've had it for a couple of weeks and I've read 6 books so far and I can't think of any complaints. So if you're an avid book reader then this e reader gets my vote.

  1. Awesome! I want to know how you have time to read 6 books in a couple of weeks!...and what books are they? I'd love to get a new good book!

  2. I read four books by Kristan Higgins and two books by Jodi Picoult and The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I have a bit of OCD so once I start on an author I tend to read all of their books (or atleast most of them) It's an illness! I stay up pretty late most nights reading which is how I finished so many books in such a short amount of time.

  3. I don't know Miss. Shanita... I read a lot and I'm all for saving trees, but there's just something about turning pages and the smell of book glue... Anybody know what I'm talking about??

  6. Katie, I know you're not a huffer, and it's so much nicer not having to deal with losing your place or trying to keep the book folded over. You still turn pages...just with the push of a button rather :-)

    Amy, I've read My Sisters Keeper, Keeping Faith and I'm currently on The Pact... all by Jodi Picoult. She's awesome!
