Books in my nook library

I thought it would be fun to list all the different books I have been reading since getting a nook. I swear I have been able to read more since having this, even if I am not saving $$ by buying them I still get more read.
Here is my "done" list - Along with little reviews of each (I have read others but I deleted them from my nook so I will have to start from here)
I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali --- Very good book! Looks at a girl age 10 who is forced to marry a much older man. She finally gets the courage to stand up for what she believes and runs away to the court house for a divorce (which is really un heard of in her land) I would totally read it again!
Little Earthquakes- This is a book from the same author as "good in bed" and "in her shoes". This book is about a group of women who meet in a yoga class (pregnant) and become really good friends-Each lady goes through a "little earthquake" in her life (loss of a baby, job loss, etc) Well written and an easy read
No Wonder my parents drank by Jay Mohr- This book was ok, I didn't finish it because it was rather slow moving for me.
The Obama Diaries by Laura Ingraham- Ha! Funny book!!! Loved it
Theodore Boone by John Grisham- My very first Grishman book I have ever read. This was pretty good, an easy read for me. So far I like him I think I will try reading his others.

3 Easy Ways to Save Some $$

Doesn't it feel good to be able to save some money, and have a little extra cash on hand for just an extra special treat? I think it feels great! So here are a couple of easy ways we save money for our family

  1. Join the site http://www.swagbucks.com/ Use this site just like you use Google/Yahoo/Bing when searching anything on the web. As you search things you earn Swagbucks which you can use to "buy" gift cards,etc. You can also take surveys and polls on the site too to earn more. So far I have used my Swag Bucks to get some Amazon.com gift cards (Which I am saving to use at Xmas time)
  2. Use coupons when you can, there are several different websites that gives you a list of coupons that match up to what is on sale in your local store. (Today at Winn Dixie I saved $78.00 just in using coupons! The 5-10 min it took me to get them ready was well worth it!)
  3. Another good website to save $$ on is http://goodreader.com/ This is a site which lets you buy a monthly package for X number of $ and you get to download a ton of books to your ereader (Nook, Kindle, Sony, Etc) So far I have downloaded at least 25 books and I have not even been a member for a month yet. Anyway if I would have gotten them from Barnes and Noble or Amazon they would have been around 10.00 per book. Great Deal!!

Hope they will help you as much as they have helped us out! :) Have a good weekend Everyone
