I love reading on my tablet

Back in the day reading a book was where you would find me these days you can find me borrowing my daughter’s tablet to read books that I buy from Kindle. I love to read and books seem to be going extinct like CD’s (did you know that best buy won’t be selling CDs anymore). I remember when I was in high school I got locked in the library because I got lost in a book. I got away from reading when I first had my kids because I was so busy being a mom and a wife. Now that the wife role is no longer there and my kids don’t need me to be as hands on these days I have decided to pick back up my first love….reading. This summer I’m determined to finish 3 books and I want to also tell you why I love reading on a tablet.

Reading on a tablet

Reading on a tablet gives me the ability to read in the dark. I don’t have to have my light on all night long. My kids need to sleep and my door is adjacent to my daughter’s room. Turning my light off to read allows her to sleep better because it’s dark and she doesn’t have to ask me when I’m going to bed 50 million times

I can have a book in my hands in seconds. I am always on the lookout for a great book so if I see something interesting or someone mentions a book to me I can get it right away. I don’t have to wait to get to a store. This is probably the best part about reading on my tablet.

My tablet lets me know how much I’ve read and how much I have to read. It will say I have 30% left of the book to read and that’s great to know. I feel that I can plan ahead with how many hours I can spend reading and block off time to read and do my work. I no longer have to rush through a chapter or a book because I know exactly how long it will take for me to finish it. If my kids call me I can say give me 30 minutes…that’s how long I have in this chapter

I can read from anywhere. So I have the Kindle app if I leave my tablet I can log in on my computer or my cell phone and read. This comes in handy if I have to wait at a Dr appointment with my kids and I’m bored. Or if I have to wait to pick them up from an activity.

Having a tablet is greener and it keeps me from having a lot of books collecting dust. Back in the day, I would finish reading a book and then I would just leave it somewhere. Now I can highlight something in a book and when I’m done I can go back to that book (right in my app) and reference something without looking for the actual book.

Those are just a few reasons that I love reading on my tablet. Now here is what I’m reading this summer

Crushing it by Gary Vee

I’m reading this now. I have 20% more to go with this book and then I”m done

The Sun does Shine by Anthony Hinton

I am reading this next. I haven’t heard anything about the book personally but if Oprah picks it…I’m reading it

The Subtle Art of not giving an eff by Mark Manson

The title alone drew me in. I have to learn not to let people get to me so I’m hoping this book helps
