As the happy owner of a shiny new Kindle, a Christmas present from Chris, I’ve fallen in love with reading all over again. I love how crisp the electronic ink is and the progress bar at the bottom of the page letting me know how far, by percentage, I am into the book. And between free books from Amazon – odds are good I’ll be signing up for Amazon Prime – and Project Gutenberg, I’ve piled up a lovely stack of digital books to read.
With the new year and my new toy, it’s time to resurrect my tradition of keeping a list of books I’ve finished on my blog. Previous year’s lists, sadly, are gone with my old blog, but I often found them useful.
I’ll include the date I finish reading, along with title and author. When I review a book, I’ll link to the review post.
Happy Reading!
