My e-Reader is charged and I'm ready to start another novel, Breath and Bones by Susann Cokal.

Many thanks to TheSFReader who made a great comment regarding my June 17th blog entry. I'm still figuring out how to respond via the blog, so I had to send a personal reply which turned out great. I love chatting/emailing with other readers and writers.

With my focus turned to reading, I'm finding it hard to squeeze in writing time or even find the motivation to do so. Nathan Bransford had a great link on his website that I'm going to use also. It's called Return to Writing in Six Steps.

I have to say that despite my battery issues, I'm enjoying my e-Reader. I've changed the settings to Spanish so I can practice every time I turn it on. No, it doesn't convert the book to Spanish (but wouldn't that be cool if it did!) just the menus.

I'm also going to download/upload (which is it?) some music to read by since that's one of its features. Normally, I read in silence or ambient noise, but I want to give this a thorough exam. I'm thinking The Soundtrack from The Duchess. Very soothing music and a great movie.
