I used to have a Kindle, but after going without one for a while, I realized how much I missed it. There’s something about having an entire library at your fingertips—it just makes reading easier, whether it’s late at night or on the go.

I remember years ago, my Kindle was my lifeline when I used to work nights taking phone calls. With nothing else to do, reading was my way of passing the time and escaping utter boredom.

My wife must have noticed because, for my birthday one year, she surprised me with a new one. She knows me too well.

Since then, I’ve developed a bit of a habit—grabbing every Kindle deal that catches my eye. But at least now, the books aren’t piling up around the house. She definitely knew what she was doing.

Some of the earlier images on this site are AI-generated because, let’s be honest, I had neither the time nor the skills to snap Pinterest-worthy photos while juggling another job. But hey, practice makes progress! These days, I’m feeling much braver behind the camera. Happy reading (and judging my photos), everyone!
