I don't deserve a Kindle

{photos via HERE - a new blog favorite, Cafe Cartolina}

For some reason I really want a Kindle.  However, I don't deserve one.  I NEVER finish a book.  I just am not a big reader -- or even a little reader.  I'm more of a once in a blue moon when the spirit hits me reader.  And a lot of times, that spirit doesn't last me through a whole book.

Here is what I am "currently reading" --

(as in, have picked up over the past few years & haven't finished but have good intentions to one day complete):

Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison

Let me be a Woman, Elisabeth Elliot

Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini

Her Fearful Symmetry, Audrey Niffenegger

Kisses from Katie, Katie Davis

3 Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin

Heaven is for Real, Todd Burpo

Shadow of the Almighty, Jim Elliot

A Praying Life, Paul E. Miller

Books I've "recently finished"--

(as in, devoured whole by some crazy aligning of the universe in the last year or two. obviously "recently" is completely relative)

Same Kind of Different as Me, Ron Hall & Denver Moore

The Noticer, Andy Andrews

The Time Travelers Wife, Audrey Niffenegger

Hunger Games 1, 2, & 3(duh), Suzanne Collins

So why do I want a kindle?  The same reason I keep buying new books.... which is... well I just don't know.  I like the idea of books.  I like the idea of reading.  I like the idea that one day I'll have the time and space (I like reading most when my house is really clean... and well -- it is never really clean) to read.  Here's hoping...

p.s. though you might not take the advice of such a lackadaisical reader, incase you might be wondering -- my most favorite book ever is Evidence Not Seen, by Darleen Diebler Rose.  

p.p.s if you want advice from some "real" readers -- contact Much Love Illy & Hello Hue.  Those bloggin' chicks seem to be reading all the time. (Good for y'all!!)
