I'm so excited!  I expect this to be as good an experience for me this time as I'll be reading primarily ebooks which I've been having such a good time with the last few months.  I may actually get to list more than one book read cover-to-cover again.  Reading a tree book cover to cover inside 24 hours used to be the thing I was known for but had gotten rarer over the last ten years as the RP encroached on my central vision.  But with ebooks I think I could read two or one chunkster.  Say 600-700 pages.


I have averaged half a novel per month over the several years before last fall when I downloaded the Kindle for PC.  Now just this month I've read:


1Q84
Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mocking Jay
House Rules
Written in the Ashes


Counting the Hunger Games Trilogy as one, that's four chunksters devoured inside a month with a week left--well five days now.  


But I will have to slow down now since this week is all about preparing for my trip home on Saturday. 


 All of my stuff is scattered from one end of the upstairs of Mom's house to the other plus the laundry room downstairs. And the floor space upstairs is half again the floor space of our mobile home.
