What Are You Reading This Year? 2013

[Ivy]

I read Three Brides, No Groom, by Debbie Macomber and really liked it! Now I'm reading her 1225 Christmas Tree Lane from her Cedar Cove Series. It's so neat there is the Cedar Cove TV Series on Hallmark's channel now, on Saturdays, too. It makes her books come to even better and bigger life, once you match the book characters with the moving TV characters with voices and everything.

Since I recently found out that Linda Ronstadt has Parkinson's Disease and lost her voice, wrote a book, I'd love to read her book. Linda Ronstadt's grandmother had this disease and so did my paternal grandmother. I think her book would be very good. I'd love to read that book! ♥

Ivy -- my maternal grandfather had Parkinson's. Such a terrible disease.

Lucylee, One of our WA State's retired Governors had Parkinson's Disease, too. He passed away. I got to meet him, one-one-one in a quiet hall, without anyone else there. I was about 32 and was so bug-eyed that I'd met him. He quietly said, as he touched my elbow, "When you go home tonight, you can tell those kids of yours, how you not only met the Governor, but.... HE TOUCHED YOUR ELBOW, TOO!!!!" And we both laughed and laughed. I was saddened by his illness and death. It's not a good disease to have, at all. It strikes such lovely people.

Nancy, I've read The Inn at Rose Harbor, too. I'd love to read the next book in the series. I forget the title, but it's something about blossoms at Rose Harbor.

Did you get all these books on your e-reader?

[Nancy]

These last titles are actual books with pages.

The next rose harbor book is called rose harbor in bloom by debbie macomber.

[Ivy]

Nancy, It's great you got books with pages. Which do you prefer? Pages of books or e-reader?

I like both for different reasons. The e-reader is easy on my eyes, I can adjust the print, and reading goes faster. But I love to hold a book with paper pages in my hands and turn pages as I go, too. ♥

[Nancy]

I have not have my e reader long so I am still getting used to it. Books with pages do not need a power cord so for camping I like hard or soft back books. I like the way that e readers can change in font size and line spacing. Free e books just seem to be a chapter or two so a yd. Sale 25 c. Paper back is a better bargain. But the ink causes me some allergy probs. I like that the e reader does not do that. I have not given up books with pages yet. Time will tell. How that for a non answer? I like that e books weigh so much less, and that no one can see if I am reading a romance novel LOL!

[Ivy]

I like the e-reader because I can adjust the brightness, the font, and size of the font, read the pages vertical, like on a book, or horizontal, by turning the e-reader. Yes, it's fun to read on an e-reader and not show off to others what you're reading.
