Haha, right?!? I wanted to read the Briggs version but even with a book pillow I’m not sure it’ll work. I’ll probably stick with an ebook.

I wanted to take a break this summer to read something leisurely and totally my own choice-then you threw this in to my life!! I can say I will think about it.
