I didn’t realize how much I’d fall in love with my Kindle. I was jealous as I watched my friend “turn pages” on her Kindle with a single tap. I wanted one because I’d started using the elliptical machine at the gym and it was hard to turn pages on a real book in the midst of the sweating and huffing and puffing. Probably seven or eight years ago, I bought a Kindle. 25 to 50 cents apiece was much cheaper than realizing it had been six months since I checked out my limit. First, I bought them at garage sales or used book sales. My solution over the years has been to just buy books. It’s truly a matter of much angst in my life. I have sworn I’d change my non-returning-in-a-timely-manner ways again and again.īut alas, by the third go ’round of books checked out on a new routine that I’m sure will finally work, my TPAD flares and I suddenly realize that “something came up” multiple times and I find myself in dread of figuring out how much cash I’ll need to make things right at my local library.

I have tried so many times to get a system going.

I love to read, and I was born frugal/cheap, so I should be a fan of anything that provides an endless supply of reading material for free.Įxcept that library books aren’t free for me.
