April Book Photo Challenge Day 2: Newest Purchase


Day 2: Newest Purchase
This is one of those things I have said that I would do for years and never really did. 
When I got my kindle all those years ago I said "It won't stop me from buying books!" which it most defiantly has not and "If I read a book on kindle that I really love, I willl buy it as a physical book as well."
Up until this point, this has never happened. I have read a truck load of fabulous books on my kindle and not added them to my physical book collection. Most of them are classics that I have got from Project Gutenberg and still no classics sit on my selves. 
Then came A Song of Ice and Fire. I am not ashamed to admit it, I am a band wagon jumper and hadn't hear of A Game of Thrones until I saw the first episode on Foxtel but from that first watching I was hooked. I read the all just after the most recent one come out but now with three days to go till the next season, I having withdrawal and I'm going to re-read the series and commit to my promise that I would buy books that I really like if I read them on Kindle.

Literary Photo Challenge Day 13: Reading By The Fire



I couldn't pick one single book so I picked BOOKS 

I grew up on a farm where we had fire places and bonfires and outdoor stoves and things all the time so i would read by the fire because they were just always around. I miss them now that i don't have them but I don't have that fantasy of reading by an open fire because I have done it and i know how much work it is to maintain that sort of thing.

I might not be so romantic but I much prefer reading by central air. Considering it reached 40 degrees Celsius about an hour ago here, i much prefer it. 

As an added bonus, if I really want that extra sensory feeling of being in Westeros i can crank the air con up and feel like i'm freezing and then when i step outside i can be across the Narrow Sea and stretch my legs on the Dothraki Sea.
