I am so with you on this one! :) Sadly, I could not get the link to the zombie haikus to open on this computer. I’ll try again on my computer later. Hope you had an awesome fourth! :)

I was a little afraid at first because someone mentioned all the names/characters. That's another benefit to the Kindle. I can just highlight each line that has a name and will be able to go back to those as I read (if I need to). I almost always have a note pad nearby as I read to write down character names (and a little info about them), but the Kindle makes it much easier. :-) Speaking of Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, I purchased it for my Kindle.

No parsons, thank you. or (Waiting for Godot) Act I. "It's hopeless. My boots don't fit. Where is God?" Act II. The same thing Okay, I'm done my random commercial :) awww, I love that cat! sttrrreetttch. *covers eyes* it reminds me of me in the morning. :)
