I'm reading Airtight by David Rosenfelt. I'm half-way through after one day. An easy read for sure, but it is interesting.

Does anyone else have this same problem that I have?

I used to go to brick and mortar book stores and peruse the selections. I'd read jacket covers and base my book buying on that and only that.

Then I got a Kindle.

Now I do most of my perusing at Amazon and instead of basing my selection solely on the book description I've started to read the reviews. And now a bad review mixed in with lots of good reviews is enough for me to not get the book.

A few months back there was a book that I was considering. Lots of good reviews but a couple bad ones. I didn't buy it. Then I was on a trip and a fellow traveler was reading the book. I asked if she liked it. She said she did. So I bought the book and I loved it!

How do I stop reading the reviews and go back to my old ways? Even Saturday I was at a brick and mortar store and found two books that I've been meaning to buy. I went home and went straight to the reviews and decided not to buy them! Gah! Help! (BTW those two books were "Where Did you go, Bernadette?" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns." What do you all think of those if you've read them?

I still go to the used book store. I'm reading, Not Taco Bell Material by Adam Corolla. Hilarious but off color (if that bothers folks) it doesn't bother me. I tend to have a stack that I read from. The Quarter Acre Farm by Spring Warren and The King's Speech by Mark Louge and Peter Conradi are both books I'm in progress of reading. Good books all. And I'm almost finished with the September issue of Vouge.

Just had to share an ebook lending library...openlibrary.org. In case you are looking for something to read on your tablet!

Currently reading "Not you're ordinary housewife"

Cheaper by the Dozen, published many years ago, it is a fun read.

Oooh, thanks for the link. :)

Just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry for my bookclub. It is wonderful.

I just finished Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison. Wow. What a book. I think it ought to be required reading for any teenager that even thinks of doing drugs.

Now I'm starting W is of Wasted.

For those of using reading e-books, check your local library. Some of them have e-books these days, free for a duration of time just like regular library books.

I'm reading Clean by David Sheff. It's about drug addiction, but after reading Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss, I'm recognizing ways that it maps on to overeating as well.

I've read 7 books so far this month. I apparently have no life. And, I discovered an absolutely amazing series that I couldn't put down.

If you like adult paranormal/fantasy, check out the Fever series from Karen Marie Moning.

My local library offers e-books as well. All the libraries in the county have a big pool of e-books available.

I'm half-way through Snow Crash, planning on starting Alice in Wonderland after.

I also am into Bad Dog (biography) and Every Patient Tells A Story (medical)

They are both great books!

I'm enjoy the fantasy YA novel Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore.

I just finished Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Loved it! It's a true story about a troubled woman's lone journey along the Pacific Crest Trail and the many struggles and triumphs she has along the way.
