Sooooo, my Kindle got here a week ago, and the first thing I read was Bluestar's Prophecy because I've been wanting to read it for 3 years or so. And, wow, it's so much easier for me to focus when reading the Kindle rather than print books! I'm about as distractible as it gets because of my (probable) autism, and once I got out of the habit of reading, it only got worse. Literally everything about books distracted me -- pages flipping, crinkly covers, illustrations that I would stare at for 5 mins., trying to find a comfortable position, etc. So I've been unable to read very much for years. But the Kindle is so stark and straightforward, there's nothing to distract me. It's just words. I can barely even feel the weight of it in my hand. I finished BP in about 4 days.
Sorry for the obvious plug, but I'm just so happy I can read again! I'm hoping to retrain myself on the Kindle so I can eventually read print books, my true love, once again.
On a somewhat different tangent, wish me luck: I have to go to the psychiatrist this week and take a 4-hour test to confirm if I'm autistic. The preliminary exam seems to point to it, and I do have an autistic brother as well, so I'm already pretty sure I am. But it's stressing me out a bit. I'll probably post a vent journal about it later on.
Ha, I meant to talk about the book, but I really went off-topic. It was a good book, I enjoyed it. Featherwhisker and Thrushpelt are probably my favorite characters. And holy hell, destiny sure seems to have it out for Bluestar. Her decisions weren't always the wisest but I can understand that now, seeing how much stress and trauma she's been through.
Also, I kinda want to write an AU now. I just can't decide which aspect(s) I want to change; there are so many possibilities.
