If you've ever been to my house it doesn't take long to realize that my family loves books! (That's just what you get when a Philosopher marries an English Major.) Happily, our three year old is already on board with being a bibliophile too! She was actually in tears the other day because she doesn't know how to read yet. (I love that girl!)
However, despite the fact that I love the feel and smell of a good book my Kindle is one of my most used and treasured objects. (Unfortunately, I still have morning sickness and reading without pictures tends to be a trigger . . . ) I like it so much that it even made it into my blog header!
Since I love my Kindle so much I thought that my readers would appreciate the opportunity to win one!
