Let The Reading Continue!

After much wait, or at least what seemed like FOREVER!! I finally got my Kobo Mini (e-reader). I am thoroughly impressed and excited to have it. I have purchased a few e-books and have been reading once again on the bus and even in bed. I would recommend an e-reader whether it be a Nook, Kobo, Kindle, or whatever to someone who loves reading or wants to get into reading. They are slim enough to slip into almost any bag (depending on the size) and are easy to use. The only thing is the version I have doesn't have a back light and so I would need a separate light source if I were reading in the dark or on a late night bus from Toronto or something. But apart from that, I LOVE IT!!

I posted the following question on my Facebook wall - WANTED: Suggestions for books to read. I got a few replies, some of which I don't think are along the lines of the books I want to read, others definitely captured my interest. Here is a list of some of the books suggested (including those I probably won't read):

• The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake
• The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt
• The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
• The Other Boleyn Girl
• The Hunger Games Series
• Earth's Children (a series of books) by Jean Auel
• Eva Luna
• A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
• So Long A Letter by Mariama Ba
• The Lion and The Jewel by Wole Soyinka
• Girl With A Pearl Earring
• Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom.

Happy Reading
