For the Readers
My Kindle Scribe arrived last night, and I couldn’t wait to set it up before bed. Honestly, it’s taking all my willpower not to grab it from my nightstand right now and dive into a good book. But alas, I’m on the clock. I’ve been debating whether to get a Kindle for a couple of years because I love my paperbacks, but I finally decided to go for it when fellow reviewer Nena Farrell sold me on it. Reading in bed, before bed, is difficult for me because I like to highlight and annotate my books, but I can't doze off with all my stationery sprawled on top of me.
It’s super sleek and slim, and I adore the premium pen that comes with a soft-tipped eraser. It’s a bit larger than I expected, but in a good way. The front-lit display can really light up a dark room, but I’m leaning toward the warmer settings. I immediately noticed that it doesn’t have color features, which was a bummer, but I think I’ll get used to it. Some Amazon deals include a fabric cover, and if you’re thinking about getting a Kindle, definitely check those out because I need a cover ASAP. —Boutayna Chokrane
An Eye for Pie
I’ve probably seen one of these at every garage sale I’ve been to in the past 10 years, passing them up because I didn’t want to have to store them. But here I am, paying retail price for not just one pie iron, but two! My family camps every year here on the West Coast (or tries to, anyway), and for the past few years, burn bans have precluded us from cooking anything fun. I’m probably conjuring a burn ban this year just by buying these, but I consider it an investment in my fantasy of making stuffed French toast and pizza pockets, even if that ends up being next year. (If I’m not fed up with storing them before then.) —Kat Merck
