I was read to as a child. My grandma instilled the love of reading in me. I was an avid reader for years. Then, I went through health issues & started working from home & socializing online. I was reading articles, blogs & posts online. I didn't want to be reading stories on my laptop as well. I would, occasionally, still read books.
I didn't want to get an e reader. I didn't feel I could cozy up to it the same as a paperback. 2 1/2 years ago, my husband & I bought our first smart phones. One thing I downloaded were some free e books. Though, not the same as a paperback, it was still more intimate than reading on my laptop.
A little over two years ago I bought my first Kindle. Eventually, I want to have a bookcase again, filled to the brim with paperbacks. Even more so, a whole room full of them. I must admit, I've found great pleasure in carrying around my own personal library, as it were. I'm glad that I've made my way back to my first love.
I'm reading eight different e books. Whenever I finish one, I'll put up a review here. My favorite genres are: inspirational true accounts, historical, mystery, suspense, thriller, true crime, adventure, horror, paranormal & fantasy. Which do you enjoy? Do you have a Kindle (or other e reader) or have you stuck with paperback/hardbound?
