The time my kindle took over my life.

Blogging?  What’s blogging?

Due to a certain Christmas present, since approximately December 25th, my spare time has inadvertently been directed to one thing, and one thing only.  Enter: Kindle.AI tell myself things like: “Just one more page”, “I’ll stop when I get to the next chapter”, “Fifteen more minutes”. But I know the truth.  These are all lies. 

I will not just read one more page.

I will not stop when I get to the next chapter.

When fifteen minutes are up, I will not care.

If you need proof, here it is … since December 25th, I have read approximately nine books.  For effect, I added the number of pages together that each book is in print for a grand total of 3,138 pages.  I do not kid. Though I have since (mostly) repented, and am moving towards a healthier reading prescription, ha. 

And it must be added … I am not the only one. Enter: Erik’s Kindle.AA Erik’s Kindle addiction was not immediately found in books, but games such as Every Word and Scrabble. He received a bunch of Amazon gift cards for Christmas, and after having fought over played with my Kindle, he decided to get one too.

I’m happy to report that he even beat the game Every Word, got tired of games, and has since moved onto Tolstoy, haha.

Thus … my computer time has been limited lately, and I suspect I will find more time for blogging as the newness of my Kindle wears off, and I become a normal person once again.

The end.

  5. my dad just got a Nook! I love physically writing and highlighting in my books, though, so I don't think I could ever use a kindle.

  6. Uh Oh!! I've been thinking about buying a kindle...like on Friday. I'm already addicted to my Iphone and that crazy bird game. What do you love about the Kindle? I've been asking people all week.
