August reading round-up, yay!

Ooh, this has been such a great month for reading: 9 books and counting!

That's one of the BEST things about vacation, for sure -- or maybe I should say about long plane-rides.

Ten-hour flight? No problem. I've got a book!

And honestly, I can't say enough good things about the Kindle that I purchased finally after years of saying I would never get one.  Of everything I read in August so far, only two titles were on actual paper.

ha, never say never: yes, i bought a Kindle

It's true. After deciding that I would never buy an e-reader, I have at last bought one.

Um, yeah: Never say never.

there's no way I could pack enough books.
