Oh, that's a place that's high on my bucket list! :)<br /><br />Like you I was brought up in a small place (called Zvishavane in the Zimbabwean midlands) and reading was a great pleasure! Now I live in the great city Johannesburg and reading is still my pleasure ... especially on my Kindle! <br /><br />I love indie publishing and the technology that allows everyone to express their innate creativity. We live in a brave new world! :)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769734718564477239.post-75665249309219350882013-05-13T16:21:53.569-04:002013-05-13T16:21:53.569-04:00I enjoyed reading about your writing life, and am ...I enjoyed reading about your writing life, and am going to check out your Boomer lit books.

I was a Nancy Drew fan, too. Sometimes I think I need to write a book about a grown up version of her.

I've also had moments of panic when boarding a plane without a book... until they started offering movies, which I love too :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br />Anne :)Anne Louise O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466905565637673954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769734718564477239.post-24330654572340928552013-05-10T12:13:58.156-04:002013-05-10T12:13:58.156-04:00It's cool isn't it, how much we're all...It's cool isn't it, how much we're all getting into Kindle? One book, carrying, as you point out, a virtual library! And now that I've figured out how to create highlights and notes, and access those on Amazon, I'm doing more reviews than ever. Life is good!

Thank heavens for Kindle, or my ever-patient husband might find himself buried under the stacks.<br /><br />I remember those Scholastic book order forms! How fun it was to feel the anticipation, the sweaty palms and thurumping heart when the boxes arrived.
