The Latest Book to Bite Me

Have you been bitten?

I'm a sucker for a vampire read and the latest in the Sookie Stackhouse series is out :) Dead Reckoning - Charlaine Harris's books are like candy sweet, not too long, and fun to enjoy. A little harlequin meets sci fi. These books are also the series that the HBO show True Blood is based on.

I'm a few chapters in but it won't be long until I'm done!

What are you reading?

Book Addiction

Hi I'm Kari and I've always been addicted to books.

I just finished reading The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch, which is a fun piece of historical fiction. But it is rare to find a book that leaves me desperate to know what is happening next.

The following book on my reading list was Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I started it yesterday and am 70% of the way through. I'll be finished by Wednesday if not sooner. Now this is that oh my I can't leave these characters alone kind of book. I hope the movie does it justice!

What's on your night stand? Any super page turners that I should pick up?

Techie Plunge

The Kurtz's did it. We still love our hardcover and softcover books a like but the hubby and I have bought our kindles. Of course DH never to lose a second with a new toy has downloaded his Lord of the Ring books and is reading like a mad man. I am currently in the middle of a Vampire Diaries Book by L.J Smith (completely different then the TV Show- but this is what the TV show is based on) but I'm almost done.
When I get whisked away next Sunday to NOLA I'm going sans my normal 4/5 book stash that accompanies me to an airport. So, what should my first download be?

PS- Always one to accessories I got a custom made cover from Get Sassed - fun to work with, I can't wait to use it on my trip :)

High Tech or Old Fashion?

I'm at a cross road- my house has a turn table and iPod, notebooks and palm, VHS player and DVD, but is there room for a kindle and my beloved books?
I LOVE TO READ! I devour books at a speed that slightly startles the hubby and we have book cases over flowing with ones I love(d).
My father in law has a kindle and my mother in law (a librarian) put her stamp of approval on it. But there is something about paper, the smell of the pages, the weight, flying through a book without cracking the spine.... can I switch?

Will this turn into my palm which is essentially a glorified address book for me or will it be like my iPod- indispensible to my daily life?
Anyone out there have a kindle or a tech delima?

Spookey Scary

I love Ghost Hunters. Jay and Grant with the rest of the Taps crew are just plain fun to watch. Santa was kind enough to bring me Seeking Spirits for Christmas, and I am enjoying it as much as I enjoy my Wednesdays with these fellas. Now to get my hands on their first book! What is on your night table?

PS- here is a sweeter ghost (one of my ghost hunter soaps- this one you can make appear and disappear)
