I got an e-reader! It’s all very exciting, and it’s still in the shiny, new toy phase, since I got it Friday night. I ended up going with the Nook- part of it is the fact that I love Barnes and Noble, but I also just really like how it looks. Okay, the thing where it turns black for a second when you turn a page is slightly annoying. I don’t particularly need something to simulate a turning page, but whatever.
I like that it’s a lot easier to carry it around than an actual book, and that I can carry multiple books on one device. For the forseeable future, I probably won’t be downloading any new books on it. Except for Insurgent, which I pre-ordered. But I think I’m going to stick with books I’ve already read, and books from Project Gutenberg. It’s definitely not going to replace traditional books, and there are some books that I don’t want an e-book for. But other books, like series, or stuff I want to read that I don’t want anyone else to know I read will eventually end up on it.
I really like it so far, and I’m definitely warming up to it a lot faster than I ever expected. I’m sure I’ll be talking about more…especially as I use it more!
I also got the Joy The Baker Cookbook! I was flipping through it the other day…and even made some cookies! There’s a hundred recipes, and every single one of them has a picture! I feel like that’s pretty rare for cookbooks, and it’s nice to see what everything is supposed to look like. And a lot of it is baking, so it’s right up my alley!
That’s all for today, I think, so have a great Sunday!
