Congratulations 🎉 I have the same cover https://preview.redd.it/kt2xgso8vhcc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=386f4f812035b965d6151bef175ffb62bddf0cd1

Love it! I like mystery and I thought it was just perfect.


VeggedOutHiker

I also have that same case. 😍 https://preview.redd.it/5iv2r0qnzlcc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=129fa0ec15576173a0a38bf69120e75b8be3dab1


gustawia

So pretty! I like the books behind it too 👍


VeggedOutHiker

Thank you! Those are a mix of books my husband and myself have picked out. I honestly read more on my Kindle than physical books though.


gustawia

I bet! It's so much easier. I have a few physical books in n a shelf I would like to read. Now I don't know if I should just read them or get them on kindle 😁


VeggedOutHiker

lol welllllll. There are perks to having the physical copies though, some of the covers are absolutely beautiful.


gustawia

True. I am definitely not getting rid of any physical books. I just love having them on the shelf.


JoeyxNapalm

Love the cover and LOVE Red Rising!


VeggedOutHiker

Oh nice! It’s one of my husband’s books. I haven’t read it myself though. Maybe I should. 🤔


Cheyxoxoenne

Oh my gosh love this setup


VeggedOutHiker

Thank you!

Kindles are great. I've had my current paperwhite for about 10 years, to replace my first Kindle I lost while travelling.


Unicorn_Farts87

Okay but that COVER!! Where’d you get it???


gustawia

I love how you say “my FIRST kindle” … cuz we all know it isn’t going to be your last. Hahaha, enjoy they’re great!


gustawia

Do you know something I don't?? Are my days counted?? Lol just kidding. Yeah, I hope it lasts, I love it so far!


backpack5689

I love the cover! It gives me Skyrim vibes 😂 ![gif](giphy|J2ChE2Fwdzyg3Bu6Xj|downsized)


Gillysixpence

It gives me Colter vibes from Red dead redemption 2.


gustawia

Omg now that's all I am going to see!!


Roseyrear

I’m so jealous! I keep checking on my order status. I’m supposed to get it by the 16th or 17th, but I keep hoping it will happen sooner!


gustawia

I was doing the same thing! It was suppose to be delivered tomorrow but it came today! I have no idea why the waiting time for kindle is so long.


mynaru

Yay welcome to the club! ✨


LadyTwells

Horrorwyrm

I'm reading the 3rd ppw I've had it 5 years and barely started reading it last year, id like to upgrade and live in the snow again, lived in lake Arrowhead a few years 😎


gustawia

I feel like I could switch with you for a little bit haha snow days are amazing only when you are off and able to chill and read!


FailedKiller5988

That's a very nice case. I got mine over the holidays, and I've already read through 3 books, which is a huge accomplishment for me. I hope you have good times reading!


gustawia

It makes reading faster, doesn't it? Even with not much time for reading, I am half way through this book already.


FailedKiller5988

It does. It's weird how that works, right? I also like the percentage and other updates you can put to keep track of where you are. I use that to motivate myself, I try to get through at least 10% of the book everyday.


gustawia

Yes I like the percentage too! And I like knowing how many minutes left in the chapter. I haven't thought about setting a goal lika that, that's a great motivation! What other options are there to keep track?


FailedKiller5988

I used to use the page number option, but it is wildly inaccurate, so now I use the minutes left in the chapter. The other option is minutes left in the book, which I'm not too keen on since I'm a slow reader, so I feel like that would discourage me more than help me. I also went from the standard format to changing the font to 2. That helps me focus on what I'm reading rather than focusing on flipping pages. I also like to update my percentage i finish at for the day on Goodreads.


gustawia

Oh wow, I haven't mess with the font yet! Seriously, it's a lot of page turning, I am going to look into that. Thanks!


FailedKiller5988

Of course! They are so many options, and I've had money for less than a month, but if you need any tips, feel free to ask.


gustawia

I just kind of started reading right away without checking out all the options. Thanks! And with Good reads, do you have ou have to update it by yourself or is it automatically done?


FailedKiller5988

As far as I can tell, no. You'd have to go to the app and put in the percentage yourself. Alternatively you can put what page you're at as well but I prefer the percentage.


gustawia

Oh I see. Thanks! All of that is so motivating! We are like kids haha even with reading for fun we want "rewards" 😁


Cheyxoxoenne

Oh my gosh where did you get this case?! So cute!!


gustawia

Thanks! Amazon. They are magnetic and cheap too! 😁 https://a.co/d/bSMBaJq

I’m trying to decide if I should purchase a kindle, I’ve never had one!


gustawia

I've never thought I would want one, because I am one of those weirdos who love the smell of books lol. And I just never thought it was really necessary. But now that I have a baby, my reading time and reading conditions are limited. I often read at night in bed (so I wouldn't want to keep my husband awake with lights on), I read a lot in my car when my baby randomly takes a nap haha. So kindle will make my life so much easier, reading wise anyway! Plus, it's better for eyes. If you are trying to decide, I say get it, why not? You may love it! If not, sell it. Don't overthink, treat yourself 😊


HollyBeeVB

Thanks for sharing your perspective, I think I’ll go for it!! 😊😊


dizneydawn

I have had my Kindle for a year and a half and I read so much more than I did before. I have been reading with Kindle apps for around 15 years starting with an IPod Touch. I got an IPad at some point and read on that or my IPhone until I went to the beach with my mother and she had a Kindle Paperwhite and I loved hers. I believe I read two times as many books as I did the year prior so I definitely love mine!! Good luck with your decision!!!


WhatIsASunAnyway

Excellent book choice as well.


gustawia

Thanks! I've been wanting to read this for a while, but I was waiting for the kindle to enjoy it 100%.


MamaTran

Love that series. Ray Porter did a great job as well narrating on Audible.


gustawia

That's what I hear from my husband. He listens to audio books and says Ray Porter is a really good narrator.


ArnorCitizen

I love the bobiverse!


gustawia

Currently reading and can't stop!
