Some chit chat.

Not much new has happened since last week. I did get a four day weekend and am enjoying it. Was weeding in one of my flower gardens and ran into a very nasty thorned vine. I came inside and forgot to wash my hands. Rubbed my eyes and they were on fire. I was freaking out. It took hours for my burning and watering eyes to get better. Now I’ll wear latex gloves under my gardening gloves. That was a toxic vine.

I’d love some help here. My Kindle is doing the slow death. It works, it doesn’t work. It freezes and drives me crazy.

I’ll go to use the highlight and it freezes. I shut it down, reload, which takes forever, and then it doesn’t save my place and I have to find it again. So frustrating.

I’ve begun keeping a print book close by while I use it in case it freezes up on me.

I bought it a couple of years ago and I’m glad it lasted this long with how much I use it.

Now I’m looking at new ones.

Which should I get?

A Kindle Fire, Paperwhite, or basic Kindle eReader?

I noticed the Kindle Fire is on sale right now for $99 and I almost grabbed it. Then I checked the Paperwhite and debated the price. Then I talked to my sister.

I remember she mentioned the Kindle Fire didn’t have a long battery life.

The Paperwhite is so much like the basic Kindle, the only thing I noticed different was it’s great for outdoor reading. Since I read in the shade, my basic Kindle is fine for that.

Got any suggestions on which I should get? What do you like about yours?

I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link!

Here are my new books for review.

And this new one just released by Kristine Mason!

And I’ll be reviewing Madman Across The Water by Caroline Angel. Can’t share the cover with you yet. Plus waiting on a couple more.

New ones just because.

I had to grab Dog River Blues.

I live right across Mobile Bay, not too far from where this story takes place, and I’m excited to read about places and people I’ll recognize!

I surprised myself at only grabbing this one new book. But lately I’ve been on a buying spree and need to read, not get more. LOL

Another light week on reviews. I’ve been averaging around seven a week and needed some brain down time.
