My tip is that at least once a week I go to Amazon, Kindle books and then choose Romance as a category. On my computer, it has the top 100 paid and free books. I've picked up some nice re-issues for a buck or two and found some new writers as well as discovering some new authors by getting one of their books free. <br /><br />Christmas--ARGHH! It is so much work! Trying to get the guys help set up & decorate the tree (in between plays at whichever game is going on), the endless cooking, cleaning and, this year, all the folks we invited to come visit us have suddenly decided to come in the next three weeks! (Yikes the cobwebs in the spare room have DUST!) Cards are sitting on the dining room table with half wrapped gifts. Help!

And I was 2 weeks late with my TBR Challenge post. :(<br /><br />And you're ahead of me with the tree. We just went and cut ours on Sunday. It's still outside because I have to clean a spot for it. :D<br /><br />You'll find your new routine. But it will take time.

If I didn't I'm sure I'd hear about it from certainly family members. :(<br /><br />Yes! for Justified! Timothy Olyphant is a great way to start the new year. And here I thought I was odd to think Boyd is cute. :) <br /><br />I have over 200 kindle books - all free. But I don't have a kindle, just the app. I do plan to get a kindle someday but until then, it's great for reading while waiting in line etc. Like Shannon said, books on the knob, follow on twitter for free books.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-38692784777054558512011-12-04T14:44:06.996-08:002011-12-04T14:44:06.996-08:00I actually like Adele which is saying a lot becaus...I actually like Adele which is saying a lot because I think almost all new pop music is crap. I am a rock and roll/alternative girl and honestly usually prefer male artists, but I think Adele is cool.<br /><br />I am actually feeling a little more in the Christmas spirit this year. Last year I was suffering from some hardcore depression and really just wanted to sleep through the whole holiday season. I need to get my Christmas cards finished too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096423955877547496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-632464891268478882011-12-04T10:45:25.992-08:002011-12-04T10:45:25.992-08:00Enjoy the heck out of that new app, and don't ...Enjoy the heck out of that new app, and don't beat yourself up about blogging and Christmas cards: no harm, no foul.Karenmcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-4710956513605294532011-12-04T06:41:25.945-08:002011-12-04T06:41:25.945-08:00I agree in theory on how desirable it is to have a...I agree in theory on how desirable it is to have a blogging routine, but I just can't seem to do it. It;s feast or famine for me. I don't know if this bothers readers. No one has complained, at least!<br /><br />And thank you for the Adele comment. She does have an amazing voice, but I haven't loved her songs. I actually *dislike* Someone Like You. She goes to her married ex's house, and hopes he'll "be reminded"? And then what? Leave his wife? Right there on his doorstep? Weird. I guess I'm too literal for Adele music!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-17901081396926889662011-12-03T12:09:19.461-08:002011-12-03T12:09:19.461-08:00Oooh, thanks for all the Kindle tips everybody! I...Oooh, thanks for all the Kindle tips everybody! I love my "ancient" Sony Reader, but I'll admit to coveting all the deals that crop up on Kindle - so I'm glad to finally have the ability to take advantage of the app :)<br /><br />Goddess: I love Boyd too, but I hope they tame his hair in this new season. No man should wear that much product :)<br /><br />And on paper I should "get" Adele. She's like an "actual" musician and she sounds totally different from everything else on Top 40 right now (which is mostly crap - but then I'm old and cranky). I don't know "why" I don't get her. I think it might be her delivery style.....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-18006138287711231142011-12-03T10:21:37.613-08:002011-12-03T10:21:37.613-08:00Sigh... adjusting to a new job stressful situation...Sigh... adjusting to a new job stressful situation and finding inspiration for reviewing and blogging don't go together -- I found that out this last year. I also USED to try to blog three times per week, but now... I basically post when I'm able or when my burned out brain cells allow it. (I love the Dam Right I'm Good in Bed, I Can Sleep For Days pic you have up there... so true!)<br /><br />I love Nath's "what is there to get about Adele." She sings, has a great voice, her lyrics are mostly depressing, emotional and some people connect with that. I got sick of hearing Rolling in the Deep, but enjoy the latest (until they kill that one by playing it to death). <br /><br />Enjoy your Kindle app, it's awesome! I don't have anything to add to the above recs. ;P<br /><br />Christmas cards? I used to send them out a long time ago... it used to be a lovely tradition that seems to have gone by the wayside in my family for some reason.
