This is the latest Home book I’m reading. F bomb in the first sentence. Wowser… We’ll see how it goes and I’ll let you know.
As an aside, the insides of my thumbs are sore from all of the books I’ve been reading lately. They’ve all been kind of beefy books that dig into that spot where my thumb joins my hand. On both hands! I’ve considered wearing my husband’s weight lifting gloves when I read. Do you think that’s too dorky? Ok, then I won’t tell you about the Pivot Tables I’ve made of my TBR list…

I think the book-gloves are kind of hilarious…and kind of a great idea. Wonder if there’s a market…
I’ve actually never heard of anyone having the same problem, so probably not. I like the thought of reading being an extreme sport though. đ
You could add some racing stripes, if you’re a quick reader.
And flames!
I think we may be on to something…
And all this time I thought that I was the only one who got sore thumbs from reading. One of the ways I know that a book was really good is when the pain spreads up the forearms and to the elbows. A book that does that is not only a page turner, but also a page gripper. Hey, but what’s that they say about reading – no pain, no brain gain!
Finally! Someone who understands. đ
I totally understand. I get the same thumb pain from reading as I do from weeding. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t bake bread – I wouldn’t be able to handle the kneading.
Don’t worry, once I sort out a patent for some extreme reading gloves we’ll no longer have to suffer for our art. đ
