    I like to read paper books, but I like my kindle paperwhite. I can read it in bright daylight or lights out dark. I find it easy on my eyes and can adjust print size. It helps keep my physical inventory down. You seem to get most of yours from the library.

    I understand how you feel about a real book, I can't read a book from a screen either. The feel of the paper and the smell are all part of the experience. Please tell us your story about Jackie and Debbie, I love hearing your stories about your wee friends.

    I’m with you on the kindle, I was keen on getting one but tried to read a book on my iPad first, I couldn’t get on with that so decided not to. I might give the Fury a go , I loved his book The Silent Patient. I can recommend Dorothy Whipple , she wrote books about ordinary English family life between the wars. She is now published by Persephone books in the UK, they might turn up in second hand book stores.?Beautifully written , about a time that has passed. Bridget R

    My family bought me a kindle because my house is full of books and they thought it would mean I could get rid of lots of them. It didn't work because I hated using it, it was so uncomfortable to hold for very long and I couldn't flick the pages and make that lovely booky sound.
    Books. Always books for me.

    I have shelves filled with real books - I love having them around. However, as I age (over 70 now), I can no longer read print books. My kindle has become my best friend. It beats listening to books. I agree - we don't need to be the same. Enjoy your books!

    I totally agree with the kinldle decision, mine has been collecting dust in a bedroom closet! It’s funny as when they first came out everybody had one and now I see so many people with “real” books. There is something about holding a book and flipping through the pages that I love…. AND I’m definitely a book sniffer! Absolutely love your channel and have been trying to watch them all! You have the best sense of humor and should have been a comedian🤣. You and James make a great couple too. I grew up near Canterbury but have lived in the US for 43 years. Love watching English vlogs esp GaynaJane and Ali from little drops of wonderful.

    Lovely vlog Paula. I have never had a Kindle, I have tons of books, I love them around me-fiction and educational I use as a social worker...love the feel, turning pages and smell. I love going to thrift stores. Funny.."Blackcurrant and violent" 😂😂. I think the little guy on the shelf was a platypus??. Hope Gary feels better, and Lizzy has a great first day. Agree that someone needs to design fun bags. They are so plain, and we all have a huge stash because we forget them at home, always 😂 You are one busy lady. Thanks for sharing your life with us. All the best ❤

    I bought a kindle years ago and I hated it. I decided to buy another one recently and I thought about all the things I didn’t like (heavy, dark etc) and bought a very light and white coloured one and I love it. No waiting around to get the next book in the series plus books are cheap or free (if you know where to look) that being said I do love a book too just running out of space. You can bookmark pages etc on a kindle although I’ve never done it on mine. Like you say, we are all different and we like what we like, I really hated my first kindle. What a disaster with the oven, better it goes now than on Christmas Day though, hope you can get it fixed soon.

I also have a Nook Book but find it hard to read on because it’s so small. Glad you dinner turned out ok!

    I have an old Kindle I bought cheap from a friend for 20 bucks years ago. It's in the back of a drawer somewhere, because I felt the same as you. I hated it! I love the feel of a book in my hands. The weight, the smell, the sound, the turning of pages, the crisp clarity of the type. Do you have a local library? I love checking out stacks of novels. I can even order exactly what I want online. And renew them online as well. Free! And they take them all back.

      Geocaching is sort of like a treasure hunt without treasure. You follow coordinates to find a small hidden container and sign the log book within and also log it online. It is a great hobby, gets you out and about visiting interesting places that you would otherwise never know about.
