Why E-Readers Are a Gamechanger for Busy Moms
I used to say I’d never read an e-book. I was a ride-or-die physical book girl—bookshelf aesthetics, page flips, and that irresistible old-book smell. But everything changed in 2013, when I became a mom and found myself up at 3 a.m. with a sleeping baby and nothing to do. Enter: my first Kindle. What started as a convenience quickly became a lifeline—and now, I’m sharing my honest, unsponsored thoughts on e-readers, Kindle Unlimited, and whether I’m finally ready to give Audible a try. (Spoiler: I just might be.)
About the Author
I’m a mom of two spirited girls and one oversized Saint Bernard. I have a degree in English from the University of Wisconsin. By day, I work in health care as a Health Literacy expert; by night, I’m off wandering swoony fictional worlds, chasing plot twists and happily-ever-afters. I’ve been in love with the romance genre for as long as I can remember—I've read thousands of love stories and even had my own meet-cute with my library director husband… in a bookstore, of course.
