bookbub.com and my nook.........

make for a fulfilled book junkies life. I joined bookbub.com (no charge) just an email address needed & you check as to what your likes are e.g. mystery, history, etc. Every day you get an email from bookbub.com listing about 5 books that run from being free to about 1.99. Every day if the free book is something I like I get it. Today I chose 2 free books & one for 99 cents.

A few days ago, I got for free the 1936 investigation of corruption of the San Francisco Police. Though it's only 55 pages long, it is very interesting. The other day for 99 cents I got a 555 page history of the HUAC, titled "Naming Names". This era is my forte in History & I did my senior Thesis on a part of it.

There are now about 200 books on my nook & it's going to be a great fall & winter.

As an aside, my 85 year old mother is now using my tablet to read her books. I have always gotten large print books from the library for her, but it can be bothersome to order them, wait for them and them pick them up. I found that the library has the books of her favorite author, Debbie Macomber digitally available. I download them & they are immediately available for her to read. She's loving it. The print also is large enough for her to read.

1. I've gotten to the point that I just trash the e-mails before I read them

If I don't, I download yet another book, and I have about six I have yet to read. It's addicting.

2. Yes it is............

I have the time to read. I drive for Uber, so the down time between rides I open the nook to read. I have to stop myself from getting more than 3 a day. I also go to Barnes & Noble's website and do a search for free nook books and look for books there.

Well it's better than booze or drugs, I guess.

3. Nook is fantastic for poor eye sight...

esp. since you can change the background color and brightness of lighted page.
