Seriously. Bath readers will never abandon the book. We are finnnee, at least for the moment. I mean, when they invent a waterproof eReader things will get interesting but until then! Stay safe!
Any other issues you’ve noticed with either type of reading platform? I find when reading in bed? If I drop a book on my face after accidentally dozing off it totally wakes me up whereas an eReader hits me and I just snooze away. Also, books are probably the only reason I have (a tiny amount of) upper body strength. Um.

The illustrations and the point made are wonderful. It happens. Maybe that is why I like showers.

Now these are EXACTLY the reasons why print books rule!! They are more waterproof, a cure for narcolepsy and great for upper muscle strength and toning! 🙂
Beat these, e-readers! Hah! Yay!
Take care

Lol I almost broke my nose once when I fell asleep with a book.
I was on my back, thinking that the tension of keeping the thick Math textbook in the air above my face would keep me awake for the time before I had to go write a math test.
… BIG mistake.

Sierra sent me here and OMG giggle fest!
My issue with the e-readers is that I have a good place memory. In otherwords if I want to fin a specific scene in the book I'm reading I know around about where to find it in my paper book. trying to go back and forth on the e-reader (Yes I have a plain on with no touch screen) … yeah I just can't do it! *pout*
Anyway Via paper books! (even if I don't read in the bath). :}

OMG MIA. How did I miss this most excellent of blogposts?! I am going to be in suspense FOREVER about Twigs: what to do and where to find them.
Also, I agree with the above comment re: flipping back and forth to find particular scenes. You cannot beat a physical book in that regard! That is why I WAY prefer doing my research and primary source reading with paper books instead of the computer or ereader. SO much easier to refer back to things without losing your place!

Best Opening Lines From Books
First lines aren’t the only thing that make me want to read a book but they are powerful. I love lines that give me heart palpitations. Lines that make me sit up a little and smile. Lines that dance around the corners of my mind long after I’ve closed a book. Here are some of my absolute favourite first lines.

Anyway, all this infographic really serves to say is THIS IS SOMETHING I THOUGHT OF and this is also what happens when you leave me alone for too long, I have ideas, and they are brilliant for all of the twenty minutes I follow them through and then I realise they are pretty redundant.

Three Years, Four Thousand Miles & One Thought: Harassment
I’m paraphrasing but reading recent posts on harassment and the scores of comments beneath them recently there was one that really struck me.

COVER CLOSEUP: ORCS
My dear buddy, Amalia Dillin, has another book out soon! It is called Honor Among Orcs and doesn’t it look fabulous all here on my blog? The font especially appeals to me because it is a really nice serif, but the author name itself is in a sans serif telling you this is a new twist […]
