TODAY‘S PROMPT: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

This post on my blog is about KNOWING how to type.

Check out what I have to say. :)

Someone else thinks it is not important to know how to type. 😡😡😡

Not exactly book related... It‘s a typewriter pillow! I found it at Walmart in the Valentine‘s Day sale items. It was only $2, so I couldn‘t resist. It‘s my new writing/reading pillow when I‘m sitting on my couch.

Absolutely loved this film about a Berkeley typewriter repair shop , writers who still use typewriters and those who collect them.Tom Hanks a super enthusiast!Also features Sam Shepard,David McCullough,John Mayer.Making the rounds of art theaters in the U.S. Looks like there will be a segment on CBS Sunday Morning next week.Wanna see it again!

Love being in my childhood room with all my old books, my handmade feather pens, my grandfather's old typewriter, and the perfect lighting to write a cozy mystery if I had patience for that sort of thing.

Love tiny Franklin Library in suburban Detroit, MI. Still hand-stamping due dates by the warmth of a wood burning fire and offering readers an opportunity to leave personal comments inside book covers.

Here are examples of irksome* words used in this novel. After a while, I simply refused to look them up. Enough already! If I don't catch the meaning in context . . . oh well. 😒 The eReader dictionary doesn't matter. A reader shouldn't have to interrupt his flow so often to look up words. If this weren't an #ARC, I might have bailed. At least the storyline is developing. I finally started ignoring the #TenDollarWords. 🙄
* annoying

It started off kind of slow. And I got tired of tapping words for definitions. Trying my best to finish it. We'll see how it goes. Well, here's an exchange I found amusing. #ARC

Just finished "Joe Turner's Come and Gone." Moving on to "The Typewriter's Tale." #ARC

Even though Henry James is not my favorite -- to say the least -- I'm hoping to fall for his fictional typist. First line: "The worst part of taking dictation was the waiting." (The photo is a kaleidoscope of the book's cover.)

Given my last post, I laughed out loud when I read this blurb. Luckily I don't judge a book by its blurb. 😂🤣😂🤣
