My favorite present this Christmas was the Nook that my husband scored on Black Friday. He didn't get up early, or wait in line for it either! I brought the Best Buy flyer to Walmart and they price-matched. So he got me a Nook at 11am on Black Friday for $99. Score!
I spend a good part of Christmas day setting it up and playing with the features. I downloaded some free books (Pride and Prejudice, and A Christmas Carol), and then activated my gift card so I could download some other books. I also got pretty good at the easy Sudoku puzzles!
The first book that I actually paid for was Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris. It's the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Then I bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame Smith, based on a recommendation from my college roommate. I also now have the 3rd book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Club Dead, and a few others that just peaked my interest.
Today I started reading Slacker Girl, by Alexandra Koslow. I found it while searching for the newest book by Sally Koslow, author of The Late Lamented Molly Marx, that I just finished. I read the sample (i.e. teaser) that Barnes and Noble offered through my Nook, and couldn't stop reading. I bought it on the spot and have already read the first 160 pages. I am loving it!
So even though I've been kind of slacker, things are looking up! I have fininished 2.5 books this week, and with the Nook, I have a feeling my reading is going to escalate exponentially! The more I read, the more I want to read! I have to keep in mind that I need balance though.I can't let this consume me and take me away from my family all day! Baby steps!
