As you may know, I love a good read. I recently posted about my top ten books from last year and finished off with Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I really loved this book, and although I've seen a fair bit of hype surrounding it since reading, I'm surprised it hasn't been raved about more! I'd really recommend it, and will do a proper review soon. I've now
just started reading Cloud Atlas - I've actually found it quite hard to get into, did anyone else find the same? I don't really have any idea what was going on in the first part, but am now onto the next character which seems more interesting. Hoping I get into it soon as have heard so many good things!Anyway, in my top ten post I discussed where I buy my books from. I tend to stick to charity shops for most books, but then will buy any 'special' reads new/first hand. I like to buy novels by my favorite authors new to add to my bookshelf collection! The problem is, our flat is tiny and we have very little room for... well, anything. Our bookshelf is very nearly full and I'm starting to get concerned about my ever-growing collection of novels. I know what you're all thinking... what about a Kindle? Well, both my parents have one and I have to admit I'm intrigued. It would mean traveling around would be a whole lot easier (I'm fed up with fraying book corners in my handbag!) and lighter, and would save space in my fit-to-burst bookshelf. I'm just not sure I can let go of good, old-fashioned books. I love that feeling of holding a book, turning the pages and yes, I'm going to be completely ridiculous and say I appreciate a pretty cover. Despite this, I took my Mum's Kindle for a 'test drive'... and have to say I was impressed. Its not like reading from a computer screen at all, which I was afraid of, and is so light it makes reading that new Marian Keyes hardback that little bit easier! I've also been lucky enough to have a go with the new Kindle Fire, and... wow. It is incredible! I've definitely picked up the technology buzz recently and feel the Kindle could be my next purchase... I'll be hitting up Carphone Warehouse very soon I think!I'd love to know what you think. Do you have a Kindle? Would you recommend it?
