Literary Birthday – 22 July – Tom Robbins – Writers Write Creative Blog. I loved Skinny Legs and All. Couldn’t believe the inanimate things talking to each other in a cave. Threw the book into the back of the car. Got stuck one day (car broke down) found the book and found I couldn’t stop reading. I am embarrassed to admit to crying over missing dirty sock. I need to read his more recent stuff.

The Scriptorium Daily. The Paper.li that introduced me to Paper.li. Just thought others might enjoy this paper, too.
Paper or plastic – print and electronic books compared [infographic].
Kindle with text-to-speech is the only way for my old eyes. I was able to read 225 books last year because of this system. Before Kindle my reading habits had faded to the background of my life. I missed my dear friend. Books had been my food for so long. Now I am back to devouring four or five at a time!
What’s your preference?
Proximity is FREE! (And no, I don’t mean I just let it out of its cage…). This looks like a good read! I picked up my free copy! Go check it out!
Consumers of digital content: music, video, ebooks [infographic]. I just saw this online. If the majority of readers are female and older, why is the trend still writing for males?
Do all new bloggers go through this? I get so distracted now browsing other blogs that it seems I forget to write my own. And then there is all the reading I do. If you want to see my reviews check out my shelves on GoodReads.
Today I started on my second read of the last two books of A Song of Ice and Fire. In this second reading I am following the prescribed list according to Boiled Leather.com. Maybe it is because of watching the series and talking with my offspring about both books and HBO version (my adult children roped me into it and we have had many, many discussions, and listened to podcasts (Boiled Leather.com once again), or maybe it is that reading the two books in this manner, it all makes more sense this time around. I know more of the characters and the roles they play.
Umm. Did I mention I have ADD? And that I am now 63,  my mind jumps around more than it ever did before. So… The blogging, yes. How do you all come up with such great topics to blog about? How is it that you tear yourselves away from reading to write, blogs or otherwise? I am still trying to figure out that balance. And I’m retired. How do you students, young parents with jobs do it all?
And now I need to get ready for my walk. The weather was hot today so my hubby and I decided to walk in the evening when it is cooler. Don’t have to wear sunscreen this way!
