A Haul Of Sorts

Friday of last week I went into town. But that's for later. First, I want to show you guys something I made that I think is pretty killer.

The above is a photo of this case I made for a Nook Color. I really like the colours grey and pink together. The front has an iPhone holder as well, and the bow is a nice touch.... But wait. Why would I, the girl who obsessively reads print books and does not own an e-reader, make a Nook Color cover?

Yes. I got a Nook.

And I love it! It's so fantastic and convenient. I still love my print books as well, but I love the notes and highlight feature of my new Nook. On a similar note, I was contact for a review and was given the e-book copy. Having the Nook makes it so much easier for me to read and make notes and highlight quotes. No more shall I forget a major or minor flaw, nor shall I ever forget to mention the best parts ever again! Nook, I love you. Books, I still love you too.

Now that book I mentioned before, the above is the cover. It's called Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft by Jody Gehrman. I am currently 5 chapters in, should be about 23 or so Chapters in, and I'm actually quite liking it. There are a few stylistic things I have problems with, but they are very minor and after the first couple of chapters I stopped focusing on the and began focusing on the story instead. As it stands as I am on Chapter 5, I'm liking two of the major characters... but not so much the main character. She just isn't a kind of person I would like to hang with, but I have no real complaints with her. I hope to have the review up by Friday. Breaking the Monday Book Review Streak? Yes. But as I was approached for this one, I want the quickest turn around possible. So be looking forward to the book review and a special surprise along with it!

Now, let's try this again.  Friday of last week I went into town to buy a Nook. I came home with two things I just love and hold very precious. The first, of course, being my Nook. The second is much much more something I'd die without (figuratively). This is Audrey: A Life in Pictures, an amazing picto-biography of the actresses's life.

For any of you who know me well, you know Audrey is my absolute idol. (And for those who don't check out my inspiration post about Audrey).She is everything I hope to be. She was beautiful, successful, elegant, humble, and a humanitarian. She embodies class and elegance while she practiced a life long service to the world. I adore her and this book means the world to me! Plus, it was on sell for $7!

And that's all I have for you guys today. I hope you enjoyed this post!

Have you gotten anything interesting recently? Do you have an e-reader? What do you think of it?
