my reading nook

so, i've been wanting a digital reader since they amazon announced they were making the kindle. i really really really wanted one. i may not be the most avid reader ever, but i'm still in the club and this little device definitely appeals to me.
so i splurged with my christmas money and got one.

so far its been, well, awesome!
i wasted no time in renewing our new yorker subscription on my nook {which husband loves to use, too}

and then i got lazy. instead of pulling out my sewing machine, i took the easy way out and bought cozy for it. i figured i would just by the material from etsy anyway, so why not skip a step and buy one? plus, i saw this and immediately described it as "crazy cute".


{i just couldn't resist turning it green, either}

i got it from sakizome and {in my humble opinion} she has the best ebook/ipad cases and the most adorable fabrics. i had trouble narrowing it down. plus, she sent a couple vintage book postcards with my package. how cool is that?

so, i've already got a couple books read and a couple more on my list, but i want to know what you recommend. stumbled across anything good lately??

  1. Woo electronic books! I still don't know if I'm ready for that. There is something soo good about having a book in my hand.

    Books to recommend: I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird, but it's old school. Try "Water For Elephants." The book is fantastic and they are making a movie that is coming out in April (featuring Reese Witherspoon).

  2. I love the nook covers! I also like your buttons - great look! I am totally behind the times when it comes to books - literally and figuratively. I just finished Pride & Prejudice and Zombies (got it from my daughter's bookshelf) and started Secret Life of Bees (also from daughter.) But I'm listening to North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. I've read a number of her works, listened to them and seen the BBC productions - just love them all!

  3. So cute! I've been a bit reluctant to get a digital reader even though everyone I know who has one loves it. I think I just spend so much time on the computer for grad school that I don't want to be near any electronic devices when I'm reading for fun. Does that make sense?

  4. Welcome to the ebook world! I have the Sony Reader and loooove it. Don't you find that you're reading more now that you have an ereader? Feel free to browse through my books on goodreads:

  6. Awesome fabric! As soon as I get an ipad or a reader I think I'll be tempted to get one of her covers. Tablets and readers just aren't an expense I can justify right now, but one day...

  8. How do you like it? I wanted one for Christmas, but then changed my mind. I really prefer the features on the Kindle, but my gut tells me to get a Nook. I'd love to get the Nook Color, but I'm hesitant since it's newer. What made you decide to get the original Nook?

  10. I just got the kindle as a gift and am so excited! I can't believe how thin and light it is. Hopefully it will allow me to read more than I have been.
    Lovely blog - I am your newest follower!
    Looking forward to reading more!
    Have a lovely weekend!
