So the link above (just click on the name and it will take you right there) is for my favorite blog about free/cheap kindle books (and other Amazon deals). If you were not aware-I LOVE my kindle (and all things Amazon) and I take it with me everywhere I go. I usually read 2-3 books a week and I'm always looking for deals on good books. The Books on the Knob blog is updated every day with the current deals for kindle books and includes a description of each book (which I love because then I don't have to click on each one to see if it sounds interesting). I get the blog in e-mail form every day and the author also does a good job of pointing out what the kindle special offers are (for those who have a kindle with special offers-which I LOVE).
My siblings and my kids all have kindles too and we share books all the time. The nice part about that is that we can pick up a new release book for $12 and split the cost (so it usually only costs us each $2), and then we can all read it at the same time. No more running to the bookstore or waiting for holds at the library...I can have the second book in the Divergent Trilogy as soon as I wake up on May 1st, 2012 (the cover for this book was just recently released)...
I often buy books for my kids and they spend a good part of their day (and night) reading on their kindles. I love that I don't have to fill anymore bookcases up with "real" books (we had 4 bookcases full and I recently cleared out 2 and donated them to my sister or goodwill). No matter where we are-we always have several books to choose from and we can read the same book at the same time (no more fighting over who gets to read the newest Diary of A Wimpy Kid book first!)
If you are looking for some good reads-feel free to check out my list on the right-hand side of this blog (from Goodreads-another of my favorite websites). If you are interested in becoming my "friend" on goodreads-just let me know and I will send you an invite. It is my favorite site to keep track of what I have read, which books I liked, and what my other friends are reading.
Here is my kindle at Atlantis in the Bahamas. While my husband brought three "real" books with him on our trip and finished them on the second day-I had about 30 kindle books with me and never ran out of books to read (and it took up way less room in our suitcase)!
