Summer for me is a time to find a cozy chair and read ...
I must say I LOVE MY NOOK - never thought I would say those words as I love the feel and smell of books (which I will always buy) but for the amount of books I read - novels that is - the nook is so great for carrying them around and having it in my bag whenever I want to read a few lines. I always have several books going at once so this really works for me.
Right now on my Nook ...
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
Anthropology of an American Girl
Lowcountry Summer
The House at Riverton
A Vintage Affair
Darn your nook! Now you can't pass them on to me anymore..grrrrr... Let me know if you like Lemoncake; I've heard it's good.

I said the same thing that I would never buy a Nook/Kindle what have you but I must say I do love mine once I relented and the main reason why is that I travel a good deal and am always bringing loads of books with me - like 25 lbs! and I read more than one book at a time. So it is really easy for me to just put it in my bag but I still love the real deal and still buy books all the time that I want to keep forever and lets just say I have MANY! And of course many mags as well ;) So glad I can now put a name to the face - and remind me of the sweet pups name?

Oh stop! I said the same exact thing for years! But honestly I buy way to many books and with novels I end up reading and giving away or very often buying them start them and hate them and they sit there 30 bucks a piece later. One of the nooks selling points for me is the books are 10 bucks and you can read a sample of the first few chapters for free to see if you like it. It will never replace my Art books, picture books,and classics though.
