Buying eBooks For Gifts

It’s no secret that I love books. After all, I write romances and it was the love of reading that led me to writing my own. You should see the bookcases in my office stuffed with everything from paperback to hardback. But maybe it would surprise you that I still buy books for my daughter? She’s a grown woman now and has her own tastes in reading material. She loves paranormals, probably after years of reading the Harry Potter Series and the host of copy-cat books that followed it.

But maybe it would surprise you that I still buy books for my daughter? She’s a grown woman now and has her own tastes in reading material. She loves paranormals, probably after years of reading the Harry Potter Series and the host of copy-cat books that followed it.

So after I bought a paranormal novel by a new author I wasn’t familiar with and really enjoyed it, I thought my daughter would too. I bought it for her as an eBook so she can read it on her app.

Gone are the days of heading to the bookstore and buying the book as a gift. Or even passing around a book you enjoyed. (I miss bookstores) But then again, I think I like this better. The author makes another sale. I buy the book as a gift online, and Amazon, Barns and Noble or whoever does the rest.

Easy peasy.

What do you think of ordering eBooks as a gift?

Thursday’s Thirteen: More Photos of Huntington Lake

I took so many photos on my field trip it seems a shame not to share more of them. The area just above Huntington Lake is where my alien compound will be.

1.A creek. I took this photo leaning over the side of a bridge. There were fisherman down there but I didn’t ask them what they were catching.

2. My daughter was “getting” her dad here. I don’t remember what he said to her but she “got him” for it.

3. First view of Huntington lake

4. Nearly the view of Huntington Lake, but the first one was taken back in April of the same year with the ice sheet still on it. And the second one was taken in June (same year) after the snow melted.

5. Now that the snow had melted, I could see that some of these mountain tops were solid rock.

6. Down by Huntington Lake.

7. For a recreational area the forest here is still thickly wooded.

8. Another view of the lake.

9. My daughter’s boyfriend found a log across a small creek to sit on. I told him to sit up straight.

10. Here you go ladies, my daughter BF is taking off his clothes. Actually he just stripped down to his swimming shorts.

11. My daughter and BF going for a dip in the lake. Unfortunately, my daughter found out the water here is icy cold and didn’t go in deeper than her knees.
