Falling in love with my nook

I loved the idea of having an ereader so I started researching  popular ereaders.  I went back and forth between Amazon's Kindle and Barnes and Nobles Nook. I decided on the nook. I kind of think they are both pretty cool actually. I love my nook but  I imagine if I had the Kindle I would like that too.  Reading is easier with an ereader. Buying books, reading about books, sampling books, turning pages, looking up words, bookmarking...it's all so easy. I've also learned how to utilize some of the "extras" like adding my own screensavers and music. It took me a few weeks to really start reading and using it, but once I got into reading via my nook it quickly became second nature for reading. I'm reading more, I find that I enjoy the reading experience more as well.
Recent reads: The Heights by Peter Hedges, A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff, Lunch in Paris by Elizabeth Bard, and Eat Pray Love by Liz Gilbert.
Next up: Juliet by Ann Fortier, and Freedom by Jonathan Franzen and Ape House by Sara Gruen. Also in my nook library  are several books that I picked up on Free Fridays. Each Friday Barnes and Noble announces the free ebook for Nook users to download for that week!  And there are lots and lots of free books available on the site. Most of the classics are free or around $1.99 Currently I have about 26 books in my nook library. I can  "archive" books so they don't take up space on my nook, and if I want to read them again I can put them back in "my nook libray". Pretty cool, n'est pas?
I think I've only scratched the surface of things I can do with your nook. In my library is the book: Using Nook by Jim Cheshire. If someone wrote a book about Using nook this tells me there's more to my ereader that meets the eye. For the basics B&N has some video tutorials that are great to get one started on using their new nook.

Reading and Watching now

I recently finished reading The Bucolic Plague by Josh Kilmer-Purcell after it was recommended on Goop.com (Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly newsletter). I eally enjoyed the book. Josh's memoir about how he and his boyfriend Brent Ridge (two city slickers) became gentlemen farmers.  Josh keeps it real and because he writes honestly, we the readers can laugh and cry with him and Brent on this crazy ride they are on. They founded Beekman 1802, http://beekman1802.com/  the website is great. Josh and Brent  have a show on Planet Green TV called "The Fabulous Beekman Boys". I've watched the whole first season and loved every minute of it.
