August 2013 books & Ereaders

Ok first things first....I sold the Onyx Firefly, and the Nook Glow order was cancelled by the seller. Then Kobo released a Kobo Aura, and Kindle refreshed their Paperwhite. (No lighted 5" darn it!) I have decided that I do want the Aura. While still a 6" screen, it is smaller, and has twice the memory, and a new capacitative screen design. I want the one with the pink back, which is not yet ready to order for the US. So, I wait. In the meantime, I added Koreader to my Paperwhite, which turned out to be a very good thing. Now I have folder support, and the formatting of my epubs is displayed correctly! Really nice. I put it on my Kobo, but my epubs looked like crap, so I took it right back off.

Books I Read in August 2013:

Elijah (Nightwalkers 3) by Jacquelyn Frank. PNR. Loved it! Really good story. 4 stars.

Hexed (Iron Druid 2) by Kevin Hearne. UF. Wow. Fabulous!!! 5 stars.

Shadow Game (GhostWalkers 1) by Christine Feehan. PNR. Finally got around to this series, glad I did! It was good. 4 stars.

Envy (Fallen Angels 3) by J.R. Ward. PNR One of the best in the series so far. 5 stars.

Mind Game (GhostWalkers 2) by Christine Feehan. PNR. Had to get right back to this series. Excellent! 5 stars.

Her Ladyship's Curse (Disenchanted & Co Part 1) by Lynn Viehl. historical pnr. HUGE let down. This was only half a book! With no ending! I cancelled my pre-order of part 2. 3 stars for being a good half.
