Bitterblue. Kristin Cashore. 2012. Penguin. 563 pages. I think I would like this one more if I had taken the time to reread Graceling and/or Fire. Or perhaps if I’d liked Graceling and Fire more than I did in the first place. (I remember wishing I’d read Graceling and Fire closer together. I definitely remember [...]

Tablets Help Visually Impaired Readers Read More Quickly
Posted by on December 16th, 2012
Before e readers and tablets came around, blind and visually impaired readers had to rely on braille, large-print, or audiobooks.

Read Kindle books on Nook Color
Posted by on December 29th, 2010
Yep, you are reading this right. It’s actually quite easy now to get Kindle books on Nook color and have both eBook stores available to you on a single device. This is possible because Nook Color is more of an entry level Android tablet than a dedicated eReader. As it comes out of the box [...]
Sunday Salon: Reading, Read, To Read #52
Posted by on December 27th, 2010
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Did you get any books?! I am delighted with my new Anthony Trollope novels and Dorothy Sayers mysteries.

Happy Sunday! Though I’m not officially joining any reading challenges at this time, I did find a great one. Bibliophile by the Sea is hosting the “I Better Finish These Books in 2010 Challenge.” It has a great banner too! I haven’t mentioned reading challenges lately–the ones I have “officially” joined–for a good reason. I [...]
