A Vera Bradley book? No. This is my beloved Kindle. And yes, I know it is a sin to most bibliophiles to own an e-reader but for me, it's all about the convenience. You have all seen the stacks of books I take home. My bookshelf at home is double parked (books on top of books on top of books). An e-reader is simply a convenience that I need. When I travel, this is a lifesaver. On a two hour plane ride, I can easily start and finish a book because there is nothing else for me to do. Bringing three books on my carry on isn't really an option for travel nowadays. The other great thing about my Kindle is the Amazon market place. Books that aren't easily accessible to me can be costly. However, on Amazon, I can get books for .99 cents. Also, books that freshly come out can be quickly downloaded.
An e-reader does not replace a physical book. The tactile senses engaged when reading are incredibly important but sometimes, it just easier to hold a light weight Kindle in your hands.
So this weekend I am reading:
City of Bones (Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare (I'm hooked on this author. I read three of her books the other week and I'm obsessed. This book is being made into a movie and being released sometime this August)
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (I've been reading this book what seems like forever. People are absolutely in love with in and I am too! I just can't find the time to chisel out for this book. I'll be doing that this weekend for sure)
I'm excited for a long weekend. I've had spring fever and I am so ready to relax for summer. Having summers off is such a blessing and we are in the final stretch! At last!
Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!
Shout out to my Dad for my Vera Bradley medium e-book cover in Plum Crazy! Thanks Daddy O!
