ReplyDeleteLittle Women is a favorite book of mine, but I didn't include it as a favorite childhood book because I never read it until I was an adult.
ReplyDeleteI just got a new big phone so that I can pump up the font to read everything :)
ReplyDeleteI am an avid reader but just lately I only read novels, paperbacks are favourite because they're not so heavy to hold but the kindle comes second best. I can read books on the iPad, phone and Kindle so I'm never stuck without something to read.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, on reading more than one book at a time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I would like reading a book from a tablet, but my iPad shed the light.
