ivyficI have given up on The Once and Future King for the moment. It's fun and all, but there's no actual plot. And the edition I have is quite large and heavy. Which means I'm disinclined to pull it out to read on the subway unless I'm compelled to do so, so the past couple of days I've just not been reading at all, which is boring.
This morning I through my Nook in my bag, figuring I'd find something to read on the way to work. First, I forgot that in order for it to download new purchases, I have to wake it up while it's in range of wifi, so it didn't have two novellas by Courtney Milan that I just purchased on it. So instead I was flipping through my library, trying to pick something.
There is a real drawback to ebooks--no back covers. Sure, that copy is still up, but on the retailer's site. You don't actually have it with the book. So for the romance novels I've put on there, I haven't a freaking clue what the plot of any of them is. I don't know if this was the one I bought for the LOLZ or the one with the angsty portrayal of depression, and not knowing that, it's rather hard to decide what to read.
Instead I started a nonfiction book on a failed Arctic expedition (there are so many), so that should be nice and heartwarming.
