It\u2019s been three and a half weeks this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Like any proper witch I have cats. They like books, partially because every time a book arrives it\u2019s a novelty and it\u2019s cozy to lie on. Looks like Kindle is not that cozy to lie on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pirate the cat was the first one to get his paws on the book this time. Thus, he\u2019s happy to present to you: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2nSQRf3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Hearing Trumpet<\/em><\/a> by Leonora Carrington!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_123027-01.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_123027-01.jpeg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first special thing about this book is that it\u2019s not available on Kindle. <a href=\"https:\/\/ontheroadbookclub.com\/2018\/07\/23\/six-million-kindle-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This blog says<\/a> there are 6 million books available on Kindle, but <em>The Hearing Trumpet<\/em> is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_123442-012.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_123442-01.jpeg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The book promises to be <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em> for adults. Judging by some of its illustrations it\u2019s definitely not for kids.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-180\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_124028-011.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_124028-01.jpeg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It feels almost unfamiliar to be holding an actual book. Don\u2019t your hands get tired of books? You can\u2019t simply position a book wherever you want. You have to control this pile of papers so it doesn\u2019t fall, or close, or get flipped over to another page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-181\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_123350-01.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_123350-01.jpeg\" width=\"4000\" height=\"3000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also, the quality of the print is not that good. The pages feel like cheap toilet paper and the paint spreads around letters like on a sponge. The letters on Kindle look much sharper.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_123923-01.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_123923-01.jpeg\" width=\"3501\" height=\"2626\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s not a big deal, of course. A book is still a book no matter the format. Don&#8217;t you think so? I&#8217;m off to read it now. I\u2019ll let you know if I like it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-183\" src=\"https:\/\/readerwitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/img_20180821_124005-01.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_20180821_124005-01.jpeg\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4000\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My cat Pirate presents a newly arrived paperback!
