To Kindle or Not to Kindle

My mom get a Kindle a couple of years ago, and for whatever reason I just couldn't wrap my head around reading a book like that.  I love having that book in my hand as silly as that can sound.  My mom kept trying to get me to purchase one and I refused.  Then my mom got the Kindle Fire and wouldn't stop talking about how much she loved it!  By that time I was thinking more about getting one just because I was tired of moving all my books from one state to another!! So when it came in the mail I wasted no time downloading 2 of the books I was missing in one of my series.  Now that I have had it for a few months I have to say that I LOVE it!! I love being able to download a book the minute I decide I want to read it.  My mother in law has a Kindle, and she loves it too.  I am sure there will be books that I purchase time to time, but for the most part I am sticking with my Kindle!

So now that I have professed my love for my Kindle, let's talk about what I am reading right now.  So I am sure many of you got sucked into the 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy the way that I did.  I was actually the first one to read it out of my group of friends/family.  If you haven't read it yet and you like a good romance, READ IT!!  There a lot of haters out there who are talking about how it was poorly written, blah blah blah.  Listen, the story line is good and it has a fantasy line down that wont disappoint.  Some things that you should know before reading the trilogy.  First, purchase all 3 books at once (you'll thank me later).  Next, if you are a Twilight fan be aware that the books are Twilight fan based.  So there are many similarities between Twilight and 50 Shades.  For example, Bella and Ana are both clumsy and a bit awkward, they take place in the Pacific Northwest and the leading man has a mysterious secret to uncover.  Also, if you are having trouble with the whole idea of Christian wanting Anastasia to be his submissive, look past it.  If you can get past all that the love story is enough to keep you coming back for more!  When I first read the trilogy all I knew about it was that it was a Twilight fan based book.  When I got farther in the book I was shocked.  But the interaction between Christian and Ana kept me coming back for more.  So, after I read the trilogy the 3rd time, my mom got on me to explore some new books.  Lucky for me Janet Evanovich came out with the second book in the Wicked series.  Did I mention I love books that are apart of a series?! Because I really do!! ;)  I read Wicked Appetite and loved it.  It has a little bit of action, a little bit of sexual tension, a little bit of mystery and Evanovich's quick witted humor.  What's not to like?!  So, when Wicked Business came out I was very excited!  I am still reading Wicked Business so no spoilers please! ;)  Read the Wicked series with me! I would love to hear what you think about it. 

My mom is a big reader too! So look forward to some book reviews from her.  Any suggestions of what to read next? I would love to hear from you!
