DD the 1st had a job interview this week and it looks pretty promising and that will be a huge help for her. She needs to be out and meeting people and doing things. Job hunting can be a soul crushing job in itself and I am very glad I no longer have to do those things.
And so the week flew by and I started working through my kindle collection of books, there are over a thousand both in the cloud and on the kindle both fiction and non-fiction. I decided to clear out those that were a good read, I enjoyed them but I know full well I am never going to read it again. I don't need to keep them either in the cloud or on the kindle and they get in the way of me looking for a book I do want. It is a very slow process and I would guess I am about a quarter done. When I get overwhelmed I put it down for a time and look again with fresh eyes.
It is the only thing I don't like about kindle and that is that you cannot pass on old books that you know someone else will enjoy like you would with a real book. It just disappears into the nothingness of the internet. Guess one can't have everything.
Hope you had a great week and weekend ahead.
Good luck to DD and the job search.
ReplyDeleteSo many books to be read...so little time.
Happy Friday!
Exactly about the books and no word yet on the job. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteI agree about the inability to share Kindle books the way we did with paper ones! I just recharged my own Kindle, and maybe I'll get back to reading the book I abandoned partway through. I'm not as good about reading straight through any more!
ReplyDeleteNonfiction I don't seem to be able to get straight through anymore but cozy mysteries are an easier read for me. My kindle is sure going to need a recharging after this purge - LOL. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThose memory farts are the worst! LOL Glad DD's job interview went well. I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed by a large digital library. It's a shame we can't share e-books like physical books. But, e-books still have plenty of benefits, such as being able to carry your entire library with you wherever you go and being able to easily find and purchase new books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! (((BIG HUGS)))
Yes, it is true, I love always having a book with me no matter where I go and being able to get a complete series without running all over the place is great too. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
