Libby has a setting where you can borrow for 21 days. Just click where it says 14 and you can select 7 days or 21 days. For the chunky books this is a must!

Welcome to the kindle club!!! It’s life changing!

Welcome to Kindle club, got my first one about 6 years ago, now on a Kindle Oasis which is fantastic. One word of warning, there are so many super cheap deals at 99p (in UK anyway), which are very hard to resist....I have now accumulated around 300 unread items over the last few years. I'll get to them eventually :) Happy reading.

Welcome to the Kindle club, Carolyn! I loved the vlog, so cozy! Wish you and Leon all the happiness of the world! You are the cutest couple! 💖💖

Another fantastic vlog ☺️ thank you Carolyn 🌻 have a lovely day!

Love Montauk!! The little bookshop in town is wonderful. The walk up to the lighthouse is worth the view at the top. We moved to California 8 years ago but I will always miss Long Island.

[paolacannavo]

Thank you for this vlog. I' m Italian and I love reading, lighthouses and summer storms!

I finally started Anne of Green Gables and looooving it!! It’s such a wholesome book and it makes me smile all the time. Also the descriptions of nature are so beautifully written. 🥰

Just got the bookmarks--thank you so much for restocking!🧡On another note, you can usually change your loan time on Libby (from 14 to 21 days), as explained on this Libby help page. "Changing your loan period: You can change your loan period for each title when you borrow or renew it. Loan periods vary by library and by format. After you borrow or renew a title, tap the loan period on the confirmation screen. Then, select a new loan period for that title. When you pick a new loan period, it'll be your default loan period for future checkouts in that format at that library."📖

Your dad and The Martian 😂😂

I’m currently reading The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa 😊

As a designer/illustrator, I just know how excited you must be writing the loopy 'L' of Leon's name when you write out y'all's names lol. Cursive 'L's are my favorite.

One thing I really like about the Kindle is that you could install the app on other devices, like your phone or laptop or iPad. So if you don’t have your Kindle, and you need to read, it’s all synchronized. like tonight, I left my Kindle down in my car and I really don’t want to go down there and get it. So I can continue reading on my iPad. Very cool.

As an American who married a British man and spent an obscene amount of money to send her books over to England when she moved overseas, it's like deja vu watching you talk about the struggles of reading in a long distance relationship ❤

I also adored Crying in H-Mart! Was one of my favourites of last year along with Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy which I would highly recommend to you based on your love of nature in literature 😊

[evastrange]

Happy e-reading! My kindle was one of the best purchases of my life for me. I discovered some of my favourite books and authors through my kindle, which I either wouldn't have been able to access in printed format (in some cases that doesn't even exist) or I wouldn't have been willing to spend the price of a printed copy on.

[NikitaZanichkowsky-fwrd]

Yay !!! congratulations on your kindle… I use the kindle app on my iPad mini and became addicted to reading thru watching your wonderful videos and finding my way to kindle books… btw: most Macmillan kindle books are $1 or $2 so I’ve collected a lot of classics in kindle MacMillan (love the cover art on those)… again thanks to your MacMillan bookshelf tour 😊 enjoy your new kindle (it’s like the Mary Poppins magical bag of books)

[disakland]

Oh and welcome to comfortable bedreading and outside evening reading in half-dark!

[lesandthecity]

I wasn’t a big time reader until I got a Kindle. It has truly changed my life by making reading so much more easy and accessible. We have the same Kindle and funny enough, I have some of the exact same stickers as you do on mine. 🤓

[palomab]

My favorite perk from reading on a kindle is that if you connect it to your Goodreads it saves your highlights there and you can read your highlights even after you’ve returned the book to your library!

[disakland]

There’s nothing like the first kindle! Welcome to another world! While I love my physical books both is definitely the way to go. It’s so light, travelling with a library is just wild. As a child I would lug an extra little minisuitcase just for books 😁 Also projectgutenberg. Any classic you could ever wish for just free. And even if you buy classics they are cheap too.
Loved seeing how happy and glowing you were opening it! I have had since 2010 and I would never be without one again.
