E-book woes

So a couple years ago I jumped on the E-reader bandwagon. I knew that I loved actual books and was going to continue to buy them, but I'm always the last person to get any sort of new technology and I wanted an e-reader gosh darnit. After debating back and forth between Kindle and Nook I finally decided on a Kindle with the keyboard.  To be honest, I probably spent the first couple months just playing games on it.  The only books I've bought have all been on sale. I haven't purchased any full-priced e-books because I would rather have the actual book in my hands if I have to pay the same price.  There's lots of positives to owning an e-reader but I just don't like it nearly as much as an actual book. I might read 1 book a month on my Kindle..maybe. BUT i continue to buy e-books that are on sale. It's just so easy and tempting! And then I forget I bought them and there they sit..unread. The other day I made a list to see how many unread e-books I have...and it's not pretty!

I have 88 total e-books on my Kindle. They are a combination of bought, free, gifted, and for review. Let's face it, I don't even remember buying some of them...
Out of those 88 I have read a total of.....42.    That means there's 46 I have yet to read. NOT GOOD.

And here they are in all their glory!

 

 

So. Those are the e-books I currently own that I have not read.

Where to start..where to start..... suggestions welcome!

 

In My Mailbox #16

Only one book this week for my Kindle but it's a goodie.

For Review from Netgalley:

Slammed by Colleen Hoover (I've already read this and loved it, review will post later this week.


Following the unexpected death of her father, 18-year-old Layken is forced to be the rock for both her mother and younger brother. Outwardly, she appears resilient and tenacious, but inwardly, she's losing hope.
Enter Will Cooper: The attractive, 21-year-old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry and a unique sense of humor. Within days of their introduction, Will and Layken form an intense emotional connection, leaving Layken with a renewed sense of hope.
Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together, and the secret that keeps them apart.  (Goodreads blurb)

So in anticipation of my trip to the Outer Banks, NC (which I left for yesterday) I hit up the library hardcore-style. Here's my loot which includes 8 Young Adult titles and 2 Fantasy titles. I may have gone a bit over-board...and  I got a lot of firsts in a series.

Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires #1) by Rachel Caine

Stray (Shifters #1) by Rachel Vincent

The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle #1) by Patrick Rothfuss

Inside Out (Insider #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Outside In (Insider #2) by Maria V. Snyder

Suicide Notes by Michael Ford

The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

Hunger (The Horseman of the Apocalypse #1) by Jackie Morse Kessler

Rage (The Horseman of the Apocalypse #2) by Jackie Morse Kessler

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare



In addition, I purchased 2 books for my Kindle:

I LOVE H.P. Mallory's writing, and I've actually already finished this book. I didn't love it AS much as her Jolie Wilkins series but still GREAT!   I NEED MORE!!!

I mainly bought this title because it contains a short story by H.P. Mallory...only 99 cents! I skipped through and read the short story by H.P. (I wonder what people call her in real life), and even though it was short, it was SWEET. Hopefully all the stories will be equally good.

I hope to conquer a good number of these books while on vacation and start putting up my "reviews" when I return. (If I can obtain a properly functioning computer that is).

Happy Reading!
