Here’s part 3 of my little series of posts about ebooks and ereaders! As I’ve mentioned on previous posts, this series of posts about how to read ebooks and what ereader you might want to get focuses on what reading devices I’ve had personal experience with: the nook and the iPhone. The nook: E-ink is…

How to read ebooks, Part 1: Ebook formats

What kind of e-reader should you get? Posts to come!
As y’all know, I’m an e-author as well as a voracious reader of ebooks.

Book Log #74: Warrior, by Zoe Archer
I came into Zoe Archer’s Blades of the Rose series courtesy of the fine ladies at Smart Bitches Trashy Books, when they chose the second book of the series as a book club read. Pretty much right out of the gate I wanted these books, and I’m not ashamed to admit that a big part…
