I'm reading about a third of my books now on my Kindle.While I was travelling in May and June it was worth its weight in silver.
On the other hand I am still borrowing books from my local library and I am still reading well over half my books in paper format.

Kerrie,
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! This puts most of us to shame. How do you sleep and do basic things like making dinner, doing laundry, etc.?
I am on my 42nd book for the year, and am ignoring other things in order to read. But it's great.
I am just finishing "The House Sitter," by Peter Lovesey. An elderly uncle has read his books for years and liked them.
This is my first, and I'm reading it on a wonderful blogger's recommendation.
It's as well-done as any good, witty police procedural.
Yet I don't see any reviews of his books posted here or at a few other favorite blog.
Kerrie - I am absolutely in awe of you. I'm so impressed with your progress!
ReplyDeleteI am still reading a fair amount on paper too Kerrie but I must admit I am not buying very many in that format these days. I still have a few old pre-orders trickling in and have received some ARCs or gifts in paper format but aside from a few Aussie books that aren't available in eBook format I don't remember the last time I bought or ordered a paper book. I suspect like me you're still getting through the old backlog of paper ones you had on hand?
ReplyDeleteKerrie, a great list. I've only read three, but I'm interested at least in another 12 books.
ReplyDeleteCan I nominate a book for your "to be reviewed" list? "The Empanada Affair", available as a Kindle E-book on Amazon for $0.99 (Amazon US). This is a recently published mystery set in Northwest Argentina's Salta province and in Los Angeles, CA.
