I have a couple actual books I am reading right now, the one is a nonfiction, which is usually not my thing at all, called Picasso’s War. It is really good. However, Because I am in my early 60s, I constantly want to “brighten the screen” and “enlarge the text” because frankly the font is probably big enough, but not bold enough. And that alone is why I prefer ebooks now. I love real books, but they are not as easy to read. It sort of makes me sad that I need large type books or whatever but on the other hand- it is what it is, and I will take my reading where I can get it!!
Re: Picasso’s War- I am not a big history fan, but this book is great at setting different world events into context and is about how Picasso became so famous in America. And about the wealthy (white men mostly) who didnt like it, so it took some doing. I am personally not a huge fan of this guy, but there is no denying his genius. So it is a good read for me. And a very literary style of writing for nonfiction. Good deal
That's makes sense! I'm not there yet, but my eye doctor keeps warning me it's coming soon, so I'm sure I will appreciate the font enlarging at that point.
Thank you for the book recommendation! I love hearing what other people are reading.
I definitely want to read more physical books - I love the way the pages feel in my hands and how I can write all over it if I want to! My kindle is quite light though and really convenient for nighttime reading when I want to lie in bed and just use my finger to turn pages haha
Yes, the Kindle is definitely more convenient for reading in bed, especially when it's cold and I have the duvet bunched up to cover every inch except my face and hands! Then the tap-turn is CRUCIAL, haha.

Just added Dinosaurs to my Libby holds and now I’m cooking spicy tofu crumbles. Thank you for today’s guidance!
