I won .... I can't believe it

One of my favourite things to do is look around at whats new and listen amongst home school Mums as to whats happening. I also really love seeing all the blog giveaways that happen.  One of my pet peeves is that they all seem to be limited to people living in America.  Sigh

I was over having a look at Stories of an Unschooling Family which is written by Sue.  I happened to find Sue's blog as I had read about The Nickleby's over at Seven Little Australians and Counting and wanted to know what it is all about.  I am in awe of anyone who can write a book.  I would love to write a book one day but for now will practice on my blog.....

The day that I happened to visit Sue's blog she was having a Free Give Away -- A Little Way of Home Schooling by Suzie Andres and it was an eBook and thus open to anyone. I left a note in the comments section and forgot about my entry.

A week later I received a note on my blog asking me to contact her as I had won a copy of A Little Way of Homeschooling.

I was in shock.  I had won.  Wow.  I have received my copy and it's waiting on my computer for me to read it. 

I am a hold the book in your hand kinda girl but lately have been wondering what it would be like to read an eBook on an eBook reader and whether or not to purchase one. I am considering lay bying a Kindle but at present am not sure what would be better.  Some advice from you my readers would be appreciated.  Or even better anyone got one I could borrow for a week ??

For now I would just like to say Thank you so much Sue for my gift of A little way of Home Schooling.  As soon as I have read it I will let you know my thoughts.

Blessings
