Thankful times two

I missed yesterday so today is a double, but I'm going to link them.

 

Books and the library, and my Kindle.

 

I have loved books and libraries as long as I can remember.  Books were my most constant companion as a child, they were always there-and even now as an adult, I can always turn to a book for an escape, or to learn something.  I can remember waiting anxiously for library day in school so I could a new book.  And also loving when the bookmobile came to visit in summer!!  Upon moving to a new location-even as an adult, a library card was the first thing I would get(and that held true even with this last and final move lol). 

 

My Kindle is fantastic.  I was very anti e-readers for the longest time.  I truly love books.  The feel of them, the look of them on shelves-especially when you have a whole set of an aurhor or a particular series, the smell of them.  I did not want to give those things up in favor of my Kindle-or so I though.  I truly can't think of what's not to love!!  The weight of it-more than once, I've conked myself on the head with a book when I'd fall asleep reading in bed.  Toting that around in my purse is a lot lighter than a book(or two).  I will freely embrace and admit to being lazy when it comes to reading-I like to bundle under a blanket and not move.  With a regular book, you often have body parts sticking out and getting cold, are constantly having to adjust, turn pages, etc.  With a Kindle you can hold your book through a blanket, be completely warm and never have to move more than the flick of a thumb to turn the page.  I like how readily available books are-both in general if I want something new, or when I'm done and want to move on to another book.  And now you can check out library books on your Kindle!!
