literary struggle

Let me get this out of the way, I freaking LOVE my kindle. No matter how long a book I want to read is, my kindle is always just a few ounces. I have read nearly 100 books on my kindle and I highly HIGHLY recommend it. Also, thank you to my amazing friend Lindsay Barta for giving me this magical gift a few years ago.

kindle e-books however, cost money. Library books do not. The broward county library does have an e-book loan system, but the titles are so sparse and out dated, and even those are checked out but they pretty much have nothing that I actually want to read.

I love reading, it’s probably my number one hobby. (Yes, that’s kind of sad.) These days, our budget is tighter than ever, so what do I do? Not rhetorical here, genuinely, what do I do? Is real books from the library my only option?

What would you do?

Gone Girl [100 word book review]

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
All I can say is if you like a book with (several) twists, then this one is for you. If you can’t stand when a character is suddenly not what you expected, and you hate feeling like the rug has been ripped from under you, steer clear of this one. This book had me exclaiming out loud at every twist, and refusing to tell Josh what was happening because he just had to read it himself. Gone Girl has been on the NYT best sellers list for months and I highly recommend it as one of your first fall reads.

NTC or Bust

Ridiculously early this morning, our whole web department left for our annual Non-profit Technology Conference which, this year, is in Minneapolis. So, we borrowed or thrift-ed winter clothes, which I’ve never owned before and we were on our way. We got into town pretty early and did a little exploring…here are some highlights.

At 5 in the morning there was a train just stopped on the tracks while we were trying to get to the airport… this is 20+ cars all backing up on a street trying to turn around
