While I was retreating The Giving Quilt was released, the
latest of the Elm Creek Series. I'd pre-ordered it so it was waiting for me on my Nook. That was
what I read first and I really enjoyed it.
And for those who wonder, no I did not get my retreat
idea from that book series. My retreats
started in 1997, long before the Elm Creek retreats did. I have made a lot of friends because of those
books though…. several long time retreaters read one or more of the books,
decided to look for a retreat and found Delaware Quilts Quilters Retreats on
line.
Then I had to try out my Kindle, so I downloaded Wild
Goose Chase by Terri Thayer which had been recommended by a few friends. I really enjoyed it, so I downloaded the next
two, and read Wild Goose Chase next. I’m
just starting Ocean Waves now, and so far I’m enjoying it as much as the other
two.
What’s next? I don’t
know, but I have a great library to choose from on both reading devices!
so true marge; i have read all the books wisfully hoping i could find just such a venue and after this year's "virgin" retreat experience, i am delighted i did! it was everything i expected, hoped and more..
ReplyDeleteThank you, that was sweet of you to say. However, the ladies make their own fun, I have little to do with it ;^D
DeleteMarge it is The Giving Quilt. How are you liking Kindle compared to Nook? I only use my Nook for reading. I know you can use it for other things like email. But I don't know what the advantages of Kindle are. I have downloaded Kindle for PC so I can get books from Amazon and read them on my laptop.
ReplyDeleteCorrected, thanks Colleen
DeleteThe Kindle I have is an older version, but works great as a reader. The only thing it lacks is a light, but I add my own. So far I like them both about the same, both give me good reads which is why I wanted them.
