But, yay! I’m happy to have new books to add to my list. I keep looking at Ten Year Nap and wondering if I’ll like it like I did The Interestings. Just can’t decide if I want to invest the time.

Also, TOTALLY agree about the cover issue. I’m always embarrassed that I don’t know the name!

I’m doing the library e-book thing on my iPad. It can be tough to find something that is available but you can get on the “hold” list and it will send you an email when it’s your turn (I just got an email today about the latest Gary Shteyngart book). We have so many library systems here that overlap that you can look at multiple ones (I belong to Richmond and Contra Costa County and Berkeley).
I think I’d probably like a Kindle… the feature about kids Free Time sounds cool.

Also read The Silent Wife; thought it was Eh. Took me awhile and I ended up skipping through to the end because I just had to know what happened. I have the most basic kindle and I am in love with it. I read every night, usually way too late, and enjoy every minute! I am 27 with a almost 2 year old and I am still reading obsessed. Some parenting books have snuck their way in there too :)

I read so much when on bed rest and then in the last 7 sleep deprived baby months I have read so little but am slowly getting back into it. (Highly recommend After Visiting Friends).
I prefer hard copies but I do use the Kindle app when traveling — I’ll be adding some of these to my library hold list:)

I’m happy to have something that is simply a book. Oh, and I forgot to say that the Kindle Fire has a camera for Skype, too!

Whenever we go on vacation, I load up my Nook with library books. Sometimes there is quite a wait but did I mention it is free? I am in the 60s for books read this year and so far, I’m at $0 spent so far. Hoping to keep reading at $0 for 2013!

(I do ask for gift cards for all holidays!)

And also… Goodreads is my favorite app, by far. I never run out of things to read!

I too am finally reading again now that my girls are getting a little older and am always looking for new titles. Thanks for the recommendations.

Also, about checking the books out from the library: I’ve found it’s not quite as easy as it would seem. For one, digital books can only be checked out by one person at a time and the selection isn’t stellar, so you might not be able to find specific books you’re looking for. Also, I can’t renew eBooks so if I don’t finish them in my allotted time, I’m out of luck and I can’t finish the book until it’s available again. Frustrating!
