Having a tummy bug is not the best way to have a day off work. It did mean that in between sleeping and drinking lots of fluids I finished reading the J.D.Robb. I've also downloaded one of her audiobooks to my iPod for when I get out walking again. This is practice in using the Overdrive system which some libraries are looking at providing.
A U.S. friend was given a Kindle for her birthday and is rapt with it. Overdrive can also be used for eBooks if a library chooses and it's likely that will happen in the future. That is my excuse for coveting an eBook reader to try out. I have a significant birthday coming up shortly and am angling for an iPad! I think that picking up a physical book will still likely be my first choice, but the nerd in me is fascinated by the new formats coming out.
Meantime, my mystery quilt is getting its borders slowly pieced together, photos to come shortly.
As for reading I picked up a very easy book to start today - Samantha Smythe's Modern Family Journal by Lucy Cavendish. An airy bit of chick-lit, based around a family with young children and the chaos they can cause in life, it suited my concentration span and my tendency to doze off today.
Lined up next I have the latest David Baldacci. Nothing like a change.
