I’ve been thinking about eReaders a lot lately. Partially because I love new gadgets and also because you can no longer see our coffee table. However I’m not sure I need one… I *think* I have it narrowed down to a Kindle if I do get one. Although I love the look of the Nook, I have an iPhone and don’t need something that does a whole lot. I just need a good eReader linked to a good eBook store. Amazon is known for having more books at better prices. So what’s holding me back? The $260! Using my In My Mailbox posts I went back and (as well as I could) compared the price of what I bought to how much the eBook would have cost. Between October of last year and now (although I have the feeling I missed quite a few weeks…) I would have saved $71 on 22 books. So it would seem that I would have to buy around 80 books to pay for a Kindle. I actually think the number of books would be less because I avoid buying hardbacks when they come out because of the price and would probably buy the eBook… but that just means that I’ll spend more on books… so it will just even out. I guess it’s all about shelling out the money for the device. What to do?! What do you think?Do you have an eReader? Was it worth it?
Do you have a literary tattoo? I’d love to feature it! Just send me an email with a picture and story behind it.

Have you entered to wina vampire book of your choice?Or for thesigned copy of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies?
Last night my friend, Mrs Shoo, and I went to see Seth Grahame-Smith talk at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Why there? Because on Tuesday he released his newest book, Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter. You may be more familiar with his best-selling mash-up Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.
So he read up about Lincoln (without ever visiting Springfield making his trip to my hometown all that more fun!) and read as much as he could that was written by Honest Abe so that he could pick up his style. He also decided to take vampires back to their roots. No sparkling. No falling in love. Just kill or be killed. He started with an outline (he says the book would end up about whales if he didn’t lol) and puts on his iTunes playlist filled with soundtracks. He has them sorted by mood which I think is brilliant. (His favorite movie soundtrack is Snow Falling on Cedars.) I think the best questions of the night were: “How do you feel about all the mash-ups coming out after P&P&Z?” to which he said that it was a fad and that he thinks it will pass and “Is this going to be made into a movie?” and YES it is! He will be writing the adaption himself and Tim Burton is one of the producers. FYI Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is also being made into a film starring Natalie Portman as Elizabeth Not only did I have fun listening to Seth,but I got my copy of Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter signed AND I got a copy of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies signed for one lucky reader!!
