And I mostly buy e-books, because I don't have room for many more print-books in my house. <br />And those crispy cookies look so good :)<br />I just had my students read Frankenstein not long ago, so I did know that little tidbit :) Did you know that Mary Shelley wrote the story while she was in Geneva, Switzerland, and that we have a statue of Frankenstein in town? If I bring my students there, I'll take some pictures and share.<br />I hope you're having a fantastic week!<br />*hugs*<br />Lexxie @ <a href="http://unconventionalbookviews.com/" rel="nofollow"> (un)Conventional Bookviews</a>Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookwormshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627780985218960080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-27326473873932452462016-03-08T09:41:58.462-05:002016-03-08T09:41:58.462-05:00Wow, no print books at all?

I do like my Kindle because I can adjust the print size, but I can't afford to buy all the books I want to read, so I borrow many from the library.<br /><br />And hello to Ro! It's nice to meet you.

Of course, most of my library consists of Doctor Who or other science fiction or comic book graphic novels, but probably a quarter of it is filled with other books. Beer, reference, local (Milwaukee) history, travel and a few novels make up most of the rest.<br />PS - I'm always amazed how much Stephanie put on her blog and still find time to read too. I wish I could figure out how to manage my time so efficiently.

Unfortunately I gave-up chocolate, along with many other sweets, about six years ago when my hubby was diagnosed as a diabetic. Both my hubby and I have worked very hard to get his condition under control. He used to have to take insulin shots 5 times a day. He now takes one pill a day! Miracles do happen, thankfully...they just need a helping hand :)<br />I did know about the contest between Mary Shelley and the others. I saw it on a documentary years ago. I love watching documentaries!!! <br /><br />Big Hugs~JFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021461504951465311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-46546290746435468352016-03-07T07:04:34.461-05:002016-03-07T07:04:34.461-05:00Anna, I don't know how in the world you do it ...Anna, I don't know how in the world you do it and stay sane, girl!
