The Crazy Old Lady Bought Me A Kindle!

Okay, yes, I have been lusting after the Kindle 3G+WiFi for quite awhile now. I don't watch TV, haven't had cable in 20 years, and I rarely go to movies – and almost always come out vowing never to do that again. I buy lots and lots of books, my mailman has complained about that. So a Kindle seemed like the most logical of acquisitions – but I kept putting it off.

In July I published a little novelette for Kindle called The Crazy Old Lady In the Attic. It sells for 99 cents on Kindle of which I am paid 35 cents. It has been selling well and recently I realized that in a few short weeks those 35 cent sales were adding up to the point where I could use them to buy the Kindle that I longed for so I ordered it. It came Satuday and I'm thrilled. This is the coolest little gizmo in the world. How did I live without it? And the very best part is it is 100% courtesy of The Crazy Old Lady In The Attic!

This was an awesome psychological thriller. I enjoyed the detail of the past and present of the characters in the book and how they all intertwined with each other. I felt for Mattie throughout the book as she uncovered as of her life she never knew. I loved this book!

Those two readers apparently liked it so much that they also purchased Arthur's Story: A Love Story and gave it great reviews also:

I just loved this story. This was such a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes and yet smile on my face. I loved Arthur from the beginning of this book right to the end. 

So I am thrilled – especially with my cool new toy. Naturally, the first thing I did after I learned how to use it, was to download all my books onto it – it can hold 3700 books! I also uploaded a couple of WIP so I can review them whenever I like. I then added several books which I'd been longing to read but could only read on my PC before and tons of samples.

This Kindle comes pre-loaded with 2 different dictionaries, WiFi access to Wikipedia, instant access to Kindle, a web browser, an email account, the ability to listen to music while I read and it syncs with my Audible account so I can download audio books to it and listen to books while I knit or sew or work. I just treated myself to two of my favorite books, Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and Hardy's The Return of the Native, read by two of my favorite actors, William Hurt and Alan Rickman respectively.

So what more could a girl ask for? My books are selling and getting lovely reviews, I have a seemingly limitless supply of books to read at my fingertips (literally), and I have William Hurt and Alan Rickman whispering in my ears. Am I smiling?

Thanks for reading.
