I am past wanting to read “fluff” about a protagonist with a 22 inch waist and perky bosom. Bores me to tears. Perhaps because I have had romance in the past, but none now, I don’t want to hear about the perfect romance. What I enjoy most at this point are action adventure novels by people like Lee Child or Harlan Coban. These books keep me guessing and bring some “excitement” into my life. I also really enjoy books like “Eat, Pray, Love”. There are certain books that really have an impact on your life if read when you are going through a life transition. I read another one recently that I really enjoyed called “The Help.” That book really touched my heart.
Initially, I was really wanting to get a Kindle and still think it’s a really neat way to be able to purchase and begin reading a book without ever leaving your easy chair, but now I am not so sure. I like to take a nice bubble bath and read in the tub and I just can’t see taking the risk of using a Kindle that way. (Talk about bursting your bubble if it inadvertantly takes a dip!)
I tend to stick with paperbooks. They tend to be cheaper in price, I can recycle them to other readers and if they get a little wet in the tub, no harm, no foul! [Please leave a comment here.]

Hi, I prefer paperbacks (of novels, at least) so I can pass them on, take on trips, and so forth. Actually, I’m reluctant to buy one more electronic gadget I don’t know how to use. I’m still trying to figure out my cell phone! Grr! How to feel stupid in a hurry. Even with a Master’s degree.
