The greatest thing since sliced bread.

Have I ever mentioned the time I nearly mangled myself on the treadmill?  I would much rather run outdoors, but sometimes weather and other circumstances just don't allow it.  So, as a last resort, I will hop on board the moving death machine.  I am a bit ADD, so 4 miles on a treadmill feels like a 100.  I must have something to amuse myself to help those  grueling minutes go by.  I love to read so I usually try and read my book while running.  Pre-Kindle days:  This is equivalent to texting and driving.  Turning the pages....squinting at the tiny print...disaster waiting to happen.

Thank God for technology.  No really, thank you Lord.  One of the greatest things since sliced bread is the Kindle....or any e-reader for that matter.  I know, I know some of you are thinking "but I just want to feel the crack of the spine, feel the pages under my fingertips...."  However, if you are a treadmill runner and have not invested in an e-reader, you are missing out!  The ease!  The safety!  The option of jumbo print font!

Now.  All that to tell you this.  Some of the best books are only available on e-readers. (newly released anyway).  One of those is "Whisper of Memory".  It is the 2nd book in the "Whispering Woods" trilogy.  "The Waiting Booth" is the 1st and came out last year.  It is also available for e-readers.  Both books kept me on that treadmill for much longer than I intended to run.  And trust me, that says ALOT!!!

You can check out the blurb and reviews for both books on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Whisper-Memory-Whispering-Woods-ebook/dp/B007KFTIAG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331994617&sr=8-2
Happy running and happy reading!!!
