My reading has slowed down significantly and a lot of my new reading material is electronic, which makes it difficult to read before I go to sleep - I sleep in little cotton gloves to keep my hands soft and moisturized, especially since I wash them a lot, and the e-reader does NOT respond to gloved fingers.
She just... she just did the math.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
Toddson, I use a Space Pen with a rubberized stylus tip at one end with my Nooks; might something similar work for you?

I find that with gloves on I need to tap on the Nook instead of trying to swipe.

Longtime friends Hillary Clinton and author Louise Penny are writing an international political thriller, "State of Terror," out in October. The plot:
A novice Secretary of State joins the administration of her rival, a president inaugurated after four years of American leadership that shrank from the world stage. A series of terrorist attacks throws the global order into disarray, and the Secretary is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the deadly conspiracy.

I did not know they were friends. Cool. While I'm not much for political thrillers (politics has had enough tension for me over the past few years), I do like Louise Penny's writing.

I am just tickled when I see two women I respect collaborating and have to support that!

I would LOVE to hear their co-writing sessions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, that's amazing. I have seen shout-outs to the family in Penny's book notes, and wondered how close they were.
