Hello!
I am not sure whether this is the place to post my question, but it popped in my head as I am trying to buy the Billionaire Banker Series. A little bit of background: I always liked reading romance novels, they made me a reader, and I don't normally share this interest with anyone for fear of that silly chuckle I have got when I "confessed" it. So, I rarely state my taste toward this genre with colleagues or acquaintances. After noticing that there are people --men and women--in this forum that share my interest and see it not just as simply "love stories' but rather as stories of love to learn from, I followed the recommendation list and I am starting my second book on that list. Now, the Billionaire Banker series caught my interest because of Laura's post this week and people's comments. So, I am browsing Amazon and am ready to buy the first three books. So, my question: How do you like your Kindle? I like paper books (prefer paperback) because my computer hurts my eyes, and I work with the computer all day so I take a break with "real" books. But, it seems like a good idea to have, especially when I have to pack my books to move (they're so heavy!). Are Kindles kind to your eyes? Can I carry one to places such as the beach, on trips, and not regret that I scratched/broke it? Thank you for your input!
Onto something else, I share the same feelings with some people in this thread, I sometimes have to put a book down and take a break by doing something "silly", my heart aches sometimes and I feel anxiety, desperation, hopelessness--unpleasant feelings. It used to be just books or movies that triggered them, but currently, there are more instances, such as attending mandatory conferences at my school with certain Keynote speakers that-- in my opinion, are just lost, and some people at parties truly put me off with their nonesense blabber. So, I need to do something "silly" to recharge, for instance, watch a Hallmark movie, take a walk near the river, turn off my ears and kindly step away, call mom and ask how the neighbors are doing, play with my cats, read a romantic book (I recommend How Not to Die Alone)... Is it that I am becoming intolerant to things that go against what I believe to be true/valid? Is it being aware of evil/insensitivity/manipulation in people? Is it me going Kooky or over-thinking? I usually remember that part of Amazing Grace in which Laura could see the kids in High School predating on others and sucking their energy. Alas, this is not an easy road. As my husband puts it, these are historical times, it's not whether we are right or wrong, it's about Good V Evil and it is important to disconnect or else we might find ourselves gone. I am looking forward to reading the Billionarire banker series. Thank you for reading my post!
