I forgot my book but read slices instead.

I too carry at least one book with me wherever I go, so I never have a boring moment (unless you count monitoring or admining a test...). Since I usually have my phone or iPad with me, I can carry dozens of books, and pick which ever one suits my fancy. That said, I really need to start carrying a writer's notebook. I make use of Evernotes on my phone...Michelle Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299430097075277657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-44848452836392493262015-03-03T09:28:06.385+11:002015-03-03T09:28:06.385+11:00Random magic - love that.
