Get Schooled Saturday #6 and E-Book Fling

I am IN LOVE with my Kindle.

Seriously I kiss that lightweight piece of literary love at least every other day. I tell my husband once a week that it was the best present ever (he needs that positive reinforcement). But it really was my favorite present ever. The only part I hate is paying for the books:( Boo I was a library girl-the biggest borrower on the block, but what to do now that I am a complete e-reader addict?

I just discovered this little jem over the holidays and I am lending maniac now! It is a way to lend and borrow books from other people who are members of the site. When you lend you accumulate points and when you borrow you use your points. Easy as clicking, "buy" for that new book on amazon but free.

Now, not every book you have or want is eligible. For my Kindle I can check on my Amazing Kindle account and it tells me which books can be borrowed and lent. You sink up the books you want and the ones you own and then when someone wants to borrow or lend it you get an e-mail with a link to click and the exchange happens immediately!.

If you are even a teensy tiny bit interested please click here and check it out. They are going to be giving away a Kindle Fire and the person who gets the most clicks will win...and man alive I want that Kindle Fire. I am a cheapo and no I-Pad or Kindle Fire is in my purchasing future.

Now, on to the show!

Here are the top viewed links from last week's party!

I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas and I have only purchase one book thus far, I thought that the books would be so much less this way and they aren't...at least not the titles I have been interested in, so consequenty I have spent way more time on my Kindle using facebook and playing Angry Birds! lol. I am excited about this whole lending book thing. I just signed up right now! Thanks!

I have to say I am a traditional reader that has to read the book in bed smeling of print (book smelling that is, not the bed, hahaha). I was trying to do some reading on my phone and I really can safely say I am staing with a paper version. For now at least:)
Love xx
