I am currently reading Demi-Monde: Winter, by Rod Rees, for review. It's pretty good so far! I have another review copy to read, as well. The other is Archon: The Books of Raziel by Sabrina Benulis. It seems interesting.
I am enjoying reading for review purposes, but I miss reading on my Kindle a little. Especially since Demi-Monde is rather large. I've gotten used to the non-weight that is my Kindle. Makes it much easier to read what would be HUGE volume. Since my carpal tunnel is acting up fiercely, holding something light has been a welcome change.
I added a couple new books to the eighty-something I already have downloaded. After a recent purchased of a Kindle gift card, I downloaded The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I have already read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but haven't had a chance to even look at Mockingjay yet. I plan on rereading the first two, to brush up before I read Mockingjay.
Another book I downloaded was Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It has been on my to-read list for some time. A friend mentioned something about it the other day, and I remembered I wanted to read it, so I looked for a Kindle Edition. I was ecstatic to find that it was $2.99!
Now I have so many books to read, it's not funny! I have had a copy of Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 since the 28th of October, and I haven't even cracked it. My brain sees how big it is, and my hands just throb at the thought of hefting it! I also have Stephen Fry's The Liar, which has been kicking around my room for a while.
Not to mention that I am STILL reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He is on hiatus until I read the review novels that I have here. Holmes is definitely next, then I have actual novels to read. Or do I read another Kindle title? This has never really been a dilemma for me before!
I feel your pain. I have the beginnings of arthritis in my wrists. Big books hurt!
ReplyDelete1) Let me know when you are reading the Hunger Games Trilogy again, especially MockingJay for the 1st time. I will rant with you!!
2) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is on my bookshelf...big, heavy hardbound edition. I'm scared.
3) I love Love LOVE Sherlock Holmes. I just listened to his works over the summer on my iPod. It was lovely! Do finish...with a spot of tea, my precious. ;-)
Lately just sleeping and using the computer is hell on my hands. My right had is in a constant state of numbness. Particularly the thumb... :/
ReplyDelete1) Of course I will! :D Ranting is what we do best!
2) I am SO glad I downloaded it! HAHA
3) I love him, too! Fantastic book, so far! Of course I will... My preeeeeccciiiooouuusssss! ;P
