I love to read! Among the list of fiction genres I favor are thrillers, action/adventure, historical, fantasy and once in a while a good romance. Generally I gravitate to those with Christian themes, especially stories with spiritual nuggets imbedded in the narrative that cause me to search my soul and connect with God. It's fun "escaping" to another world where I can walk through a day with a pioneer wife, or breathlessly follow a thief into a deserted building, or watch an Episcopal priest minister to his flock. Evenings often find me tucked in my king-sized bed turning the pages of my current story while Hunter plays computer games and searches the net. On nights when I can't immediately fall asleep I grab a book for a while until the words blur. Thankfully, my dear husband for years has been willing to contend with the overhead lights still blazing while he easily falls asleep. Even in the middle of the night, when I awake, I often grab the book and use a night light to continue the saga until I'm weary and can sleep once again. The problem has always been finding the perfect night light. I've tried ones attached to the binding, slipped between the pages, even ones attached to my head, like a minor's spot light. Nothing seemed to be adequate until I received my NOOK! Now I can read in the middle of the night with the ease of pushing a button and scroll from page to page. Since the Nook is backlit no night light is required! I can also download a world of novels, as well as colorful audio children's books that can entertain my grandchildren. In addition, I can read various newspapers or other magazines and even search the net, if I have internet access. I'm discovering that my new colorNook is an exciting adventure in reading. It even has other "perks" I have yet to explore. Hunter chose the perfect gift for me this year. Thanks dear!
