Ana fell asleep in class. Stayed up too late reading.

Jenn thinks the solution is to take away her new kindle. I think that there is a fatal flaw in this plan, namely that Ana lives in a house full of books. There are two bookcases in her very room!

So... yeah.

I will say that she is loving Kiki Strike, just like I kept thinking she would.

re. Staying up too late reading - I remember reading somewhere that doctors say the harsh light from the tablet tends to overstimulate the senses at a time when the body should be preparing for rest at night. Personally, I have found that it always takes me a longer time to fall asleep after I read on my tablet than if I read a book at night, so there might be something to it.
