(Basically, a magic Kindle.) Barring that, I'd choose very thick multi-book volumes like a complete Shakespeare, a complete Sherlock Holmes (OK, that one's 2 volumes but I'm going to count it as one)Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-53417471896864398192018-07-04T23:00:37.075-05:002018-07-04T23:00:37.075-05:00Oh yes!
