I love when people say there hobby is reading. <a href="http://www.primepapers.biz/" rel="nofollow">http://www.superiorpapers.com/</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346589679984549168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-79112199252667970242012-03-01T20:45:52.960-05:002012-03-01T20:45:52.960-05:00I texted once.

I've even repeatedly told people not to buy me an e-reader, because it would promptly get tossed in the trash. I'm with Sheila on this, in that I don't want an e-reader because of the screen thing; sometimes I get so tired of screens and just want to not look at one for awhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-43017262740304240282012-03-01T12:51:13.456-05:002012-03-01T12:51:13.456-05:00Here's to old young ladies everywhere as we sa...Here's to old young ladies everywhere as we say (all together now): Hey, kids, get off my lawn!Lauren Baratz-Logstedhttp://www.laurenbaratzlogsted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-79739695888090349872012-03-01T12:42:14.196-05:002012-03-01T12:42:14.196-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Professor Tharpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714326142739366426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-20685634696823534532012-03-01T12:41:47.097-05:002012-03-01T12:41:47.097-05:00Samantha,

That's how much I loved Laura Ingalls Wilder! Your wonderful post is filled with so many thoughtful and interesting points--I read it twice! I fall somewhere in the middle, never thinking I would enjoy a book on a screen. But, I admit, I do love my Nook. Again, wonderful post, Samantha!Laura Spinellahttp://www.lauraspinella.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-67599588033269929572012-03-01T07:55:30.988-05:002012-03-01T07:55:30.988-05:00Ah, the notion of snow, right now, sounds deliciou...Ah, the notion of snow, right now, sounds delicious. Even the patter of little feet, though when I was in the thick of all that I was unable to put a sentence together for years. Still. I am with you on real books, not for their tactile features as much as that they 'aren't screens.'Sheila Curranhttp://www.sheilacurran.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-90872921817920287232012-03-01T06:36:05.861-05:002012-03-01T06:36:05.861-05:00I loved The Little House on the Prairie Books, too...I loved The Little House on the Prairie Books, too, Samantha. <br /><br />I completely understand your love of books--solid ones, you can hold in your hand. I love how everything about a book, the cover, the font, the type of paper, even how the pages are cut, contributes to the type of book it is. I love reading on my Kindle, but I have favorite authors that I just *have* to have their book in my hands when I read. :)Sara Rosetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963383062554754294noreply@blogger.com
