'Hell Bound'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I'm going to fail at that this weekend, because Ellen Schrieber (the author of Vampire Kisses ) is in town doing a signing for her new werewolf series. I'm going to see her because frivolous distraction will be REALLY GOOD for me right now.
New series? Yup, my resolution is doomed.
The Windup Girl has floated to the top of my pile of books on the nightstand, so it will be my book-I-already-own-and-haven't-read for January.
I just discovered that you can get magazine subscriptions via the Nook, which seems like a wonderful thing. I'm testing out a subscription to Analog and I don't think I'm going to keep it, which is a shame because at one point I really loved that mag, but most of the stories in the March issue seem like retreads of things I read decades ago. But the part where I can read the issue and then just delete the electronic copy rather than having more recycling or trash to deal with is nifty.
In contrast, Holli's short story collection is aces. So that's good.
If I'm in the US, it means pages flipped on my phone get flipped on the Nook, which is cool. But it is a subtraction in foreign.
ita, would bookmarking work in that case?
I keep going back on forth on which I'd like better,
I still like the nook because of the library book feature. I get new books without having to buy them.
Ooh! guys, Greg won a Nook by signing up for Douglas Clegg's newsletter. That contest ended in December, and now he's running another one. You can choose a Kindle or a Nook. The contest ends in, I think, March. [link]
would bookmarking work in that case?
If I remembered. It was nifty not having to know. I seem to be fine as long as I'm in the US and have connectivity, but otherwise I can't just shut down and move onto the next thing.
if you're a fan of the Foglios, Wondermark and others have declared it 'Girl Genius' day on Amazon: [link]
I bought the Girl Genius-related Corset Inspector Badge for The Boy for his birthday: [link] It is EXCELLENT.
I remember that badge! Awesome.
OMG, my Nook has shelves! I did not know that. I don't have enough purchased books to need to organise, but my free stuff really needs categorising.
Heh... I was that excited when I discovered how to use "Collections" on my Kindle! I love my Kindle!
I have really done very little with it, other than just buy and read. I'm ashamed of myself.
