    I get a regular email from bookbub that lists ebook bargains. It has a lot of fantasy which I like and shows free books and 99p books. You can follow the links to amazon to read the full synopsis and reviews. I get lots of the free ones and some of the 99p ones. It’s worth signing up for the email if you don’t already get it.

    I prefer real books but have the Kindle app on my iPad and am partial to downloading the odd 99p bargain. To date I’ve never read any of said downloaded books 😐

    Thursday at last. Two days to the weekend count down.
    Nothing very MSE to report, apart from the regular order of coffee beans got charged to my card and I sent the money over straight away. So it’s the 20th and my cc is still nice and empty. The end of the month is often the danger zone so I need to hold fast 😬
    Happy Thursday everyone, have a great day 🍫

    Love my Kindle and I didn't think I would.  My DH was always saying to get one and I always resisted saying I loved the experience of going in a shop to buy a book and have them on shelves.  But I am completely hooked.  I've been given some paperbacks but cant seem to read them anymore.  I tend read a book a week, chick lit mainly.  I usually buy the 99p ones and watch out for my favourite authors being on offer.  I only pay more for books that I really want to read or when I have been given a voucher for birthdays or Christmas.

    I love my kindle too.  It's so much easier with thick books!  I regularly smack myself in the face with it when I fall asleep though :D
