Kindle Favorites


Some of you have asked how I've been liking my Kindle.While I will never give up "real" books (especially for decorating or art books), I really love it.  I love how portable it is.  It's like I'm carrying around dozens of books everywhere I go.  I also love how easy it is to read in bed which is where I do the majority of my reading.The downside is that it's so tempting and easy to purchase a new book.  Luckily there are so many good free ones available that I haven't spent much on ebooks.  Yet.

Here are some of my favorite Kindle books that I have finished reading or that are on my Kindle waiting to be read.  Many of them are free.
Pride and Prejudice   This is currently free.  Both my girls have read and love it.
Little Women   Another freebie.  I haven't read it in years and I'm looking forward to reading it again.
The Secret Garden  This one is free as well and believe it or not, I've never read it.  Cindy read it last year and loved it, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it too.
The Wind in the Willows I still love it.
The Phantom of the Opera  I loved the movie, so I'm guessing I'll enjoy the book too.
Poems by Emily Dickinson
Housework Blues  This one isn't free, but it's definitely worth the price (currently $3.99)
The Holy Bible
The Scarecrow of Oz  I've always had a soft spot for the OZ books.  This one is free as well.
Living Organized  This one isn't free like it was when I found it, but it's a great book on organizing.  Especially for us right-brained folks.
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother  No, this one wasn't free, but I couldn't resist it after all the talk I had been hearing about it.  I actually really enjoyed it.

Here are the books currently on my wish list.  You can download a free sample of books you're interested in, and I've done that for all of these which makes them all the more tempting. :)
