Loving my Kindle & technology

A few months ago, I won a $100 GC to Amazon thanks to one of the many social sites I troll (Social Moms). I had been wanting a Kindle very badly & had just found out my local Borders was closing. It was kismet & I hopped on-line to buy my Kindle.

Since I have had my Kindle, I have been introduced to many new authors. It is awesome to be able to read so many different kinds of books w/out having to lose space in my already cramped living situation.

Today I just finished a book by a new author I have never heard of. At the end of the book it asked for me to review it. It is something I have never done before, being content to just rate & go to the next book. But decided I would this time. And thanks to my nifty FaceBook app, Goodreads, I can do so with ease & share on my blog. What did we do before the Internet & Social Networking?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am a fan of occult books, but as I age it has been harder to find stories that aren't geared for teens or have porn undertones. But being an avid reader, I have a hard time turning down books.



A few nights ago, I was bored w/my free Kindle downloads and searched for something new to read. I am glad I did, as I found this story.



At first the story jumps around a bit and makes you wonder how everything is connected. But as the story unfolds, it becomes very entrancing. It is a simple read, but filled with emotion. Unlike some "witch" stories, this one doesn't make one feel they are in a fantasy realm. I think the main fantasy element in this story is it leaves one hoping to meet the characters.



I am anxiously awaiting the next installment and can't wait to see what happens next with this wonderful witch family/community.
