Hi. I'm currently reading Rainbow Rowell's book, Fangirl. It was highly recommended and so far it's a cute read. I'm reading it on my iPad "Books" app. I have to say, it's convenient because it's an additional something that I have to throw into my bag when I go into class.

Right now I'm reading The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout and I'm reading them on my Nook. I would much rather have the physical books, but since I'm in school right now (poor college kid!), getting them on my Nook was much cheaper. It is nice, though, because I can read them on my smartphone and do not need to carry my Nook--or the book--everywhere I go.

My sister has a kindle fire. I've read a few books on it. She has a cover that acts as protection and and support for the lazy reader that doesn't want to hold the Kindle (me). The last book I read on the kindle, "Through The Smoke" by Brenda Novak ,it was a good-read. I've also had some experience with the nook. I would prefer the kindle over the nook, just because of its painless handle.

Currently reading up on Freud's contributions to the theory of sex on my android phone. Fascinating stuff. I used to think I had no further need for a mobile phone, but then I discovered the joy of moonreader. I would hate to lose my phone now, as that would mean losing weeks-worth of painstaking ebook downloading.

I do two different types of reading: reviewing and personal. As a reviewer, it is far easier to navigate back and forth in an e-book on Adobe Reader or Kindle in dissecting the book, correlating the set-up chapters to the major conflict and the climactic conclusion. Flipping back and forth with a paperback is tedious. Alternately, I'm still a dinosaur who likes curling up with a good hardcover book, and I wouldn't think of dissecting Franz Kafka or William Shakespeare. I enjoy the cruise and read patiently (well, maybe not so much with Kafka) from start to finish.

At this moment in time I'm reading the divergent series. I like them a lot so far. My favorite way to reading is with a book rather then an e-reader. I have tried an e-reader and my only real issue with reading that way is that I just love the feeling of turning the pages in a book and I loved the smell of books ( as weird as that may be). So, after trying an e-reader a few times I just gave up cause I just love my books to much they are very important to me.

I have a nexus but nothing beats reading paperback or hardback books the way I see it is the book has already been made so I'm saving a tree by giving it new life by buying the book and reading it thankfully I can reread books over and over and still enjoy them as much as I did the first time on my tenth time over , I've just finished reading allegiant by veronica Roth and thoroughly enjoys the whole divergent series , I also love (with a passion the feel of a book in my hands and the smell of them I always have at least two books in my hand bag at any given time haha)

From Red Square to Main Street by Alisa Mizelle. I switch back and forth from my iPad to my Kindle Fire. Depends on my mood and which one is closer at hand.
[Insert quote here. Read. Raise an eyebrow. Be mildly amused. Rinse & repeat.]
