Free books!

Since I became a mother, my reading time has been very limited.  It is impossible to carry a book to doctor's appointments, and the only time I have to read is after the lights go out at night or when I'm rocking a baby to sleep - books can't be read in the dark.

Recently, I have fallen in love with the Kindle app on my Samsung Fascinate.  If you have a smartphone, you should check out the Kindle and Nook apps. 

Why do I love the Kindle app so much?

• Tons of Free books!  Most of them are classics.
• I can read in darkness (unlike the actual Kindle) after Jerry goes to sleep or while rocking my baby.
• I already have a smartphone, so it costs me nothing.  A very basic Kindle costs $139.
• I don't have to lug around books.  The phone goes everywhere I go, so it's super convenient.
• There is no worry about my toddlers removing my bookmark and losing my place in the book - the app automatically saves my location.
• When I get 5 minutes to read, I can just read.  I don't have to find my book and get comfortable again.

My current book is Sense and Sensibility, and I plan to read Sisters and The Man Who Would Be King next.  I haven't been this excited about reading in years!
