I am not reading anything now, I just finished my last book, a paperback titled Queen of the Big Time.

If I read on my phone I use the Moonreader App or the Aldiko App. Either one of those two reading apps can take most formats so I'm happy with them.

I'm reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel on my Kindle and should soon be starting Sarum by Eadward Rutherford, also on Kindle. I do really prefer hard copy, but eBooks are so easy to get hold of in a hurry - and they're good for taking on holiday.

I have a tablet, a smartphone, and a Kindle touch. I mostly read on my kindle and I'm currently reading Dying to Forget by Trish Marie Dawson, which I got for free when BoobBub told me it was on sale.

Currently reading Candy Apple Dead by Sammi Carter in paperback format. I'm not a major fan of e-readers but I do have one and do use it, though not as often as I'd like to for some short stories since it's a killer on my eyes (prob since I only read in bed).

I generally like to read novels and the book through which I get some information. When I want to read book I pickup the book in which I am interested to read and then start reading the book simply.

My kids keep taking the Kindles so I have gone back to paper. There is nothing that quite feels like the feel of a book anyway so I'm not complaining too much. Paper books are easier to share and borrow, are less likely to loose your place, and I am not so afraid of loosing them to spilled gasses of wine or bathtub mishaps. I envision a future where my kids will beg me to allow them to have their old books that they grew up with as I did when I left home.

As for what I'm reading:
"How To Teach You Children Shakespeare" by Ken Ludwig
"Satisfy My Thirsty Soul" by Linda Dillow
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte
"Stepping Heavenward" by Elizabeth Printess
and the September 2014 edition of National Geographic

I am reading Patrick: Son of Ireland by Stephen Lawhead and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
I interrupted my reading of Patrick to read a book I was doing a review on for someone on Goodreads.

I plan on finishing Patrick tomorrow. May or may not do a review on it. Then will read Gone Girl since it is next month's book of the month. I want at least one good reading under my belt before I begin discussion on it.
