Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

[BantyChooks]

I love reading, but (true confessions time), I'm a little obsessive about it. Like I read and read and read and read, and suddenly it's time to go to work and I didn't sleep.... It's not healthy, so mostly I do nonfiction (a little easier to put down), and I do fiction when I'm on vacation.

I have been dying to read Enslaved by Ducks, haven't pulled the trigger yet.



I have books across multiple platforms. In my experience, the only electronic reading that doesn't hurt my eyes is on a Kindle because it does the best job of mimicking real paper/print (I have a Paperwhite from a good number of years ago now). The bonus is that our public library lends Kindle books.

But in the end, I prefer a physical book. Just wired that way, I guess - when you learn to adore it at such a young age, kinda hard to break. The Kindle is useful for traveling, but (although it probably doesn't make financial sense), I'll have both Kindle and physical versions of a book (esp big fat heavy ones).

Been there, done that... I mean, how can you put the book down now, when it's at the good part? Plus, it's the only time the rugrats are silent... Gotta take what I can get.

Rugrats?

Silent?

I didn't know those words went together....

(I teach - I have 220 new "kids" every single year who think they want to be doctors. I don't need kids of my own... REALLY I don't. PLEASE don't make me. EVER. )

Well, when you hit them over the head with a bat they go nice and silent for a bit. See, if they're quiet on their own when not A.) Deep in a book, B.) Sleeping, C.) Dead, you need to RUN and find out why they're so quiet.... Hard to read either way. So, since books of their own last about three seconds and dead is illegal, we're left with sleeping.

Whut dat?

Its just a feature that blocks the blue bright light on your device kinda turns everything an amber color so it reduces eye strain and prevents the effect of the blue light from keeping you awake at night

Are you talking about Night shift? (at least that's what it's called on Apple devices). I love that - much easier on my eyes. I set it to shift with sundown and sun up.

probably. I use android devices. My tablet is a kindle fire and it's called blue shade on there. I much prefer a real book though. The smell the paper sound and feel. Nothing like it. But our small town Library doesn't cut it for me lol

My local library is junk. Books are average at best and they have these irritating cards that won't stay in their folders that you have to hand write the date borrowed on. Too much hassle for someone that regularly takes home 40+ books per week. I've gotten used to the snazzy new tech stuff in the other libraries, and miss not having a list of books I've taken out... They're so easy to lose.
