I bought a kindle (free kindle books)

Yes I did.. And now, I am waiting for my order to come. After researching for the best offer, I got it for RM300 only for Kindle basic. I didn't got the Kindle Paperwhite, I figured if I want light, I can buy a bed lamp. So then I thought I need a case. Then it is expensive. So I wanna make my own case from a book that have a great cover that I didn't even read coz I don't like the genre.

That one is also a reason why I should get a kindle. There are few books that I bought but just read the 1st page n put it away. I already downloaded few books for my kindle from some website.. Total about 35 books. N there are many more books, which are all free. So, if I don't like any, just delete it.

 

1) www.feedbooks.com

I like this one because the books are not only classic but also new books, all kindle. And you can choose from English, German, French n 2 more languages. So I downloaded many in English n a few in German. I thought maybe I should polish my german. Haha..

 

2) www.booksshouldbefree.com

This one offer thousands of books also and many genre. I downloaded many books from here also and a book of gardening.

 

3) www.cooking-with-us.com

They have books on recipes. So I downloaded a few.

 

4) www.chrisslusser.com

He is a novel writer, which currently offer 3 books for free. So maybe if I like his books, I will buy others. It is a good way of marketing right..

 

5) www.digilibraries.com

They also offer thousands off book free.

 

Knowing that I can download for free is the other reason why I bought a kindle. I can save a bit of money and enjoy my reading. And also kindle books is not that pricy than buying a book. All and all, I just can wait for my Kindle. The seller told me, I can get it within 3 weeks. So I just need to wait for a long time now.. I don't like waiting.

 

Owh I love reading books but sometimes buying a book is like buying the impossible. I have a baby so she comes first. But this is a one time that I thought, I need something to make me better after working all day.. Hahaha.. working all day.. That's funny.. I am not working, but sometimes it feels like that. So after knowing that I need this. I asked my husband, Can you buy this for me? Owh it can be an early birthday present. Hehe.. And he said.. OK.. Yes.. The next day, he paid for it. I am so happy.. Haha.. Early present it is, my birthday is in July. But Thanks so much darling for my early birthday present. I better treat him nicely.. Aww..

Kindle: Do I need it?

Kindle is a device for reading... Save the Trees.. This is a good way right.. And you can bring it anywhere you want. It fits in your pocket, your bag. Okay, actually I am not the kind that like to buy a high tech devices. Such as a handphone with high tech. I like a simple one. As the battery life is longer and the handphone will not go jam all of sudden because virus.

So after using some of them, then I just stick with a simple one. Then camera, I have one. My lenovo ideapad.. So that is all I need. Then I found out about this Kindle. It is solely for reading. The battery can last 1 month if not using wifi. And you can save until 1,400 books. With the cheapest about RM400.. I guess it is a good bargain. Not only I can save money buy not buying books, I save money by not needing a shelf for my books and also save space in my room. And most important Save the Earth.. Right....?

 

So, do I need the Kindle? Mmmm... Okay I can also read in dark, I can read anywhere, anytime, I want.. Owh like a dream come true.. Right..? RIGHT...

 

It is like heaven for readers.. Huhu.. This is a Kindle...

 

I like one.. Maybe I should just buy it.. Kindle anyone?

My Mother's Old Books

 When I told her that I searched for an old book and found that

it was valuable. She then showed me a couple of old books that she have. She was from Germany so, the books came from there. She told me, she got the books from her neighbour. They wanted to burn books, as their Aunt passed away. So she took three books.

Jahrbuch der Berliner Morgen-Zeitung. Kalender für das Jahr 1908

This is like a year book. A calender. With advertisements at the back pages.

My mother said at that time there were no magazines or newspapers, so this is the way they advertise or telling the news.

 

Vom Tabor bis Golgatha, 1888[von C. Wagner-Groben]

This book is about religion.

 

Griebens Reisefuhrer Band 2, HARZ 1904-1905

This is like a guide book. With maps and where to eat and stay. 

 

Unfortunately we will not be the next milionaire... Hehe.. I search the prices in http://www.abebooks.com and found out the highest price for 2 first books above were 17 US Dollar, the last one is about the same.

 

There are so many other books in Deutsch also but I am not a good German reader, maybe one day I will learn to read it by myself.

A Christmas Carol

I downloaded the ebook. Then I realise that I don't like reading books this way. So I tried looking online for the book. So I endup reading the history of Charles Dickens. I am so shock that the Original or 1st edition of this book cost 20,000 US Dollar.. Wow which he sold for just 20 something/5 shillings at that time with minimal profit. How I will be so lucky to get the first edition.. I like old books. It would be a dream came true.. Books really make me like this.. Huhu.. I want to cry.. But then I found this website http://www.gutenberg.org. They made an ebook with the first edition illustrations.. So I am feeling ok now.. This is the original ebook http://www.gutenberg.org/files/46/46-h/46-h.htm and this is the pdf version I created http://www.scribd.com/doc/131502507/The-Project-Gutenberg-eBook-of-a-Christmas-Carol So enjoy as I am now...

Books to read

I like classics. So upon searching for books to read, I found one website that really caught me.
Its free to download, so I downloaded many ebooks. Books that I've seen the stories in movies but never had the chance to read.

For me reading is a whole different world. Imagining things are much more fun then watching it. And our imaginations are much more interesting then movies right?

So I collected 15 ebooks that maybe I will printout, coz I like the old version of reading. Or maybe just buy the original printed books. Is it still out there? Maybe someone will help me out searching for those books..

So just try out this website:

http://www.classicly.com

They have so much to offer.

I will read those books first. Then I will make reviews. So 15 posts to come...

She came into my life,
As a gift from God,
She brings joy,
Everyday in my life,
When she wakes,
She smiles,
When she sees,
She smiles,
Can I live without her?
She is my medicine,
She is my drug,
She heals me,

No,
I never can live without her.

My life is like a cat,
Wake in the nights,
Naps in the days.

My life is like a wolf,
Silent at day,
Howling at night.

My life is like a bird,
Flying as desire,
Hunted as 'they' wanted.

My life is my life,
Living from my heart,
Dying in my heart.

At that time I was ruined,
Ruined from all my mistakes,
Ruined from past love,

At that time,
I followed my heart,
Not knowing what will come,

At that time,
My heart beats so fast,
Feelings I never felt,

At that time,
I know you are there,
And will always be there,

At that time,
Our love began,
And never will end.

All those years,
I help them,
I am nice to them,
I never did something to hurt their feelings,
Even they did,
But then just because of the others...
They punish me..
Because of them..
Many evil thoughts came..
It is as I am so bad..
That they have to punish me..
As they are so right..
As they think they are so right..
They don't have any rights to punish me..
They even don't have any rights to argue..
Don't they know how they scarred my heart..
That until now it is so hard to forgive..
n harder to forget..


I know I can't,
Or even never can..
They are what they are..
They say what they want..
They do as they desire..
So I never can change that..
I can't say a word..
I can't do as I want..
Just they are the right one..
What a world..

What a world did I fall in..

I know Her...
I try to make Her know me..
But sometimes I had enough..
Everything I do is not good enough for Her..
Everything I do is wrong to Her..
Even things that She shouldn't get into...
Why is She like that?
What did I do to Her?

Sometimes I think..
Did I start this?
Did I do something?
Or am I overeacting?

Is She really just concern?
Or is She just angry and need someone to get angry with?
I tried to understand..
But so many tiers have been waste..
Is it for nothing?
Becoming like this because of that...

Even writing this is so Hard for me..
My tiers dropping again..
It is really hard... Really hard...
Why?
Just Why?
Why do you do that to me?
Why, when I needed you the most, you torn my heart so much..
So much that I don't even know what is right anymore..
