Crazy for Kindle

I am officially OBSESSED with my Kindle. At first I didn't know what to think of the whole Kindle craze, I didn't feel like a little machine to read my books on was all that necessary. At the same time, I can literally read a book in a matter of days and I was starting to feel like spending $15 on a book and finishing it two days later was creating quite the pile of books in my house. I hate piles. So I decided to investigate the Kindle and once I actually saw one in real life, I was hooked! It is super small and thin and fits perfectly in my purse. I'll admit that I've been a little bit of an addict with my new toy, it's just so convenient it's hard to put down! This month I've read:
1. "The White Queen" ~ Not nearly as good as the "Nefertiti" series, but readable
2. "Little Bee" ~ Not sure what all they hype is about this one, it's depressing and never really gets to the point
3. "Water for Elephants" ~ Pretty good, a little strange?, but I'm looking forward to seeing the movie since Reese Witherspoon is in it
4. "Cutting for Stone" ~ Good, but not really a page turner. Still reading it so the verdict is out!

That's right, I'm on my fourth book this month...it's all the Kindle's fault!

New Year's Resolution

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get back to my blog which I have abandoned for several months now. Not only am I going to (try!) and stay updated on my blog, but it's going to get a make-over and focus not only on things I'm doing, but also on things I'm loving, what I'm reading and what's cookin'...literally, like in my kitchen:) Stay tuned and cheers to 2011!
